Question:
I just got a 2019 Ford F-150 with 5.5 bed and I want to install a tonneau cover and ladder rack. What are my options?

I have a few different options for you to install both a ladder rack and tonneau cover together on your 2019 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2' bed but you will be limited to ladder racks that install in the stake pockets and tonneau covers that mount inside the bed rails.
Good:
Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A70490 (Utility)
Tonno Pro Lo-Roll Soft Tonneau Cover part # TPLR-3045
Better:
Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4000964 (Utility/Sport)
BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK48329
Best:
Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43002XT-508 (Utility/Sport)
BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK39329
The Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack does not have any channels to attach accessories so if you are wanting to use the ladder rack for sport accessories like the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier part # TH849000 then you would need to go with the Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack or TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack which do have channels.
