My 24’ Cactus Gray Ranger Build

I've been trying to find a bed rack that is compatible with a folding tonneau, what are you looking at getting?

I looked high and low for something that works with a folding and the number is very low. My issue is I have a 7ft parking garage so I wanted to keep the rack a bit lower, maybe the higher up ones would work? I got the rove Offroad one out of Toronto. It’s 15 inches plus another 2 for the tonneau adapters, Im going to sell my folding for a soft roll up for under the bed rack.
the issue is a lot of the bed racks angle in a bit, I figure if you got something like the tuxedo elevate it may work!

I had the same thought. I really like the folding tonneau tho... what to do, argh...

Yeah, same man that was my dilemma. But at the end of the day for me, the tunnel cover is just to keep some privacy of what’s in the bed. A soft roll up for me probably won’t have the same amount of security, but I don’t keep that much stuff in the bed anyways so I can live with a compromise.

Finally got my bedrack and got it installed. Overall pretty happy with it. Made in Canada, shipped from Toronto, has room to fit my bike and it’s tonneau compatible! I like the little Canada maple leafs, and overall I think it’s aesthetically a solid looking rack!
However I think has a few downfalls that I’ll have to figure out.
First thing, the c clamps they sent were too small for the new Ranger. I assume it was built for a 5th gen as the clamps were too short. I ended up going and buying bigger ones that worked out well. (85$ later) however I’m not confident they will work with a roll up tonneau as advertised, I guess you could drill into the rails from the top down and that would solve a lot… but there’s no going back from that!
I also kinda wish it had black hardware as the silver sticks out like a sore thumb, but I can plasti dip them easily.

Took the new rack out for a spin to make sure everything was mounted right. Made some… interesting noises which I hope is just cause it’s new… and the flexy bed with a solid rack on top probably doesn’t help. Sure would suck if I did need those braces after all. Lol
All in all Solid day in the mountains for Canada Day.
