Looking for lumber rack options

[Allanr]

Hi, I just got a 2023 hybrid Maverick and am looking at getting a lumber rack (one that mounts to the sidewalls of the bed and goes over the cab). Does anyone know of a store bought or universal model that could work? I've watched a couple YouTube videos of modifications that can be made to some racks to make them work but I'm hoping to find an easier solution. Thanks!

Weather guard makes a rack that fits the short box Colorado and Ranger but those beds are 4”s longer than the maverick. Are there even stake pockets on the bed rails of the maverick? As most of the rack systems utilize using the stake pockets on the bed rails, as opposed to having to drill the bed in years past like I had to do with the weather guard one on my 01 HD.

I considered one of these when my truck comes in, but since it's a solid traditional ladder rack, I am worried about taking in and off but myself. I also am not a fan that the front half doesn't have anything to protect the cab, even though it extends over the cab.

Putting one on and off by yourself would necessatate chain lift to raise it and lower it onto truck due to size and weight. Or having to break it down into 3 or more pieces making a trailer the best and quickest one man option. I put a harbor freight universal onto a Nissan with a five or five and half foot bed. Was a two man set onto and off of situation. A light weight one could be made but it becomes how much lumber do you want to haul?

I'm still gaither ideas for a future Maverick.
The one I like because it'll be easy to take on and off is this one.

Another forum member. I was thinking 2 rear plus one front one for any time I needed to get long lumber.

I just got a headache rack from Rackit that I take off when I don't need it. Just to keep me from leaning stuff against the cab. They also make cabovers for the Mav.
