Rack system recommendations

[Rich_D]

Looking for recommendations on rack systems that come with or can be used with a hard tonneau cover.

Right now, I am leaning towards the BAKFlip MX4 tonneau cover paired with the Elevate Rack system.

Has Anyone had experience with this combo or know of any better ones? Any pics are also appreciated. Thanks!

I went with a Syneticusa Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover with Adjustable Rack Kit from Amazon. I have only had installed about 3 months but am very satisfied with quality and price.

Curious how this set up has held up. Any issues with the tonneau?

I am still satisfied with my purchase. Retraction of the top is not as smooth as I would like but acceptable. Rack is solid! Also added a rack from Harbor Freight that accepts a vinyl roof top bag for storing life jackets, fishing gear, paddles, … that fits under kayaks. Had modify to raise up about 2” so I could retract top while mounted. For the price, I would buy again.

Love the setup. I might get the exact same. How water "resistant" has the cover been?

I bought an Amazon Basics Waterproof Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag,15 Cubic Feet, Black. Never leaked. It helps that it is protected by the cab.

Sorry just realized you were referring to the tonneau cover. I installed the 4 recommended drains, 2 front and 2 rear, and I have only had very minor leaks after heavy downpours.
