    Does anyone know which tonneau cover can be used with a reputable bed rack so the RTT would be level with cab ?

    Have a 2019 short bed with OEM/factory tonneau cover (moved from my 2017 TRD Sport) that I am investigating the possibility of switching to BAK Industries Revolver X2 (or TruXedo Titanium Hard Roll-up) + low/med profile bed rack so I can eventually use RTT.


    Suggestions ?

    Filterec, I read your post, looks like the setup will allow access to one of the tri-folds. I'm looking for a solution that I can access the entire bed (don't mind some crawling under the rack)

    Another option is kbvoodoos bed bars. They are low profile.

    The only setup that officially integrates both cover and rack is the Retrax XR cover & Yakima Outpost/ Overhaul HD bedracks. If you want it level with the cab- Outpost HD is the option. The retrax is great, haven’t had any issues with it. You lose some bed space due to the Canister of the cover but nothing significant. The rack itself is sturdy plus made of aluminum so rust isn’t an issue unlike the KB Voodoo racks i’ve seen on here and your gas mileage won’t take a significant hit.

    You saying that the aluminum rack won't impact mpg where steel will?

    Oops- meant to write "as significant"

    Mileage is affected, don't get me wrong, but Alum's lighter nature helps with efficiency.

    I'd be interested to see weight between those bars and steel bars.
