Question:
Will the Ericcson truck rack work with a tonneau cover?

Expert Reply:
The Erickson ladder rack part # EM07705 attaches to a vehicle bed rail by wrapping around the inside of the bed rail so it would not be compatible with a tonneau cover. The only style of ladder rack and tonneau that can work together are the tonneaus that install to the inside of the bed rails and then the ladder racks that attach to the top of the bed rails. Most of the time this style attaches to the stake pockets.
For your 2001 Ford F-150 with an 8 foot bed you would need a ladder rack like the part # TH43003XT-000 which installs by attaching to the stake pockets and then a tonneau like the # A22010219 which installs between the bed rails.
