What worked when you had the 150?

Have you considered this type of Bed Extender?

No, he won’t do it even though you can extend the bed and shut the tonneau cover.

OP could also use the tuwa pro 12” rack and elevate TS rails with a hard roll tonneau to accomplish what he wants to do.

OP also won’t switch to little giant style ladders that would fit in the bed and give him the room he desires.

Those are too large. I have to carry 2 5 foot ladders and the roof isn't an option. A bed extender makes me too long. These Toronto parking garages are tiny
I'm in Toronto too and I know exactly what you mean. The telescopic ladders are only ok if you can lean it on a wall, but if you need a standalone A frame ladder you don't have alot of options. Bed extenders are only good if you have the space to pull it out.

I'm a contractor, sometimes work in condos in Toronto but my truck won't go underground. I see other contractors with vans that fit but rarely see pick up. I think it's the wrong truck for your work.

Hello, my company recently started giving us Mavericks for work. We do all our work ok site so we have lots of material. We used to have f 150s so this is an adjustment. My issues is carrying ladders. The bed is too short to carry any ladders. I currently have them mounted to a roof rack but It doesn't work. We work mostly downtown and with the ladders on the roof I can't fit into parking garages. With a tonneau cover on the back I have no way to attach a bedside mount. Any ideas on how to carry the ladders?
If you can fit a F-150 in the parking garage, why won't a much lower Maverick with a roof rack work? What is the typical clearance in the garage?

I might eventually end up doing what the below link has. I now use a 20' telescopic ladder and have a BAK Revolver X4ts (from Real Truck- discounted from being a forum member) hard roll-up with the t-slot rails, so I could add the elevate racks later if need be. This truck with the racks would still be shorter than my old 2019 F-150 that I was driving.

This type would make it too easy to steal my material. All material has to remain in the bed and the bed is full of all my materials.

Has anyone tried this bed rack on Amazon?
Brand: TKMAUTO
18.8 inch Overland Bed Rack Truck Cargo Carrier Compatible with Full-Size & MID -Size Truck

It does say it's for mid- size trucks but if it means having to cut some length and width out of the panels and cross bars, it might be a solution to the bed rack with tonneau cover dilemma.
