Hard Tonneau Cover and Elevate Rack for 2025

[papajj15]

I apologize in advance guys, I did search and look at some of the forums but didn't find the answer I was looking for (if I overlooked it I'm sorry). I'm looking for an affordable hard tonneau cover that will work with an Elevate Rack system (or VERY similar). I'd like to stay around $800 for both if I can (will go up to $1k). I want something sturdy, but something that doesn't look like it came from an erector set. As for the cover, I've had Xtang trifolds on my last 3 F150s and I've loved them. I almost bought a bakflip on one of the models but opted to stick w/ the trifold. From some of the other pics I saw, looks like I'll need to go w/ a hard cover that sits on the inside of the lip of the bed w/ a rail system, and I'm fine w/ that. But definitely has to be a HARD cover. If any of you have links and/or pics to share, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Here's a link on Realtruck.com for compatible tonneau covers for Elevate rack PDF
I noticed they removed my BakFlip MX4 hard fold from the list...

Considering the Elevate Rack is $850 by itself, your expectations might not be reasonable,,,,,

Maybe just do the hard cover an TS rails? Add the rack later on?

That's an option. Back in 10/2022, I paid $135 for the TS Rails (Amazon), now $235. Ouch!

How much did that cost and where did you get it?

I purchased it through RealTrucks online - I installed it myself in the driveway I really took my time and it works as designed in less than 2 hours watching the installation video on my iPad

Ouch....gonna have to pass on that. For that amount I can definitely get the elevate rack and a good quality hard cover, not retractable. Tks for the info.

I basically want this exact set up but ended up using my Ford points to pick up the standard Truxedo soft roll for just $125.

Future state though will be this:

I know that rack is versatile with you able to add brackets and hooks and such, but to me it gives off the 'erector set' vibe.
