When you look at most of the hard tonneau covers available, you are likely to see that they all look pretty similar, which is to say that they all have the same problem. You might find that you have to look at several trucks before the problem becomes obvious, here is a hint, look for the stake holes in the tops of sides of the bed. What do you mean you can’t see them? This is the problem; most aluminum tonneau covers sit on top of the sides of the bed.

So if you need to install a ladder rack for your job, you are going to have to remove your tonneau cover. At Bak Liner we have designed our RollBak aluminum tonneau covers and mounting rails so that they fit inside the top edge of the truck bed. This way you will have clear access to the stake holes for your ladder rack or a set of stakes to carry a big load, without taking the tonneau covers off of the truck.
