Soft fold cover and elevated racks

[Mapletown]

I have read a number of posts on this topic, but the threads I've found are technical beyond my basic understanding of this issue. I was notified today that my 2025 XLT Maverick has shipped and delivery to Minnesota dealership is expected May 13-19. I have ordered a soft fold cover with the order. I have a camping trip scheduled for May 26. I would like to put a Thule and possibly a smallish kayak on some type of elevated rack.
Questions:

1. Is there an elevated rack system that works with the soft fold (Ford) type of cover I ordered (real truck says there is not)?
2. When is the cover installed? Do you think I can I cancel it at this point? (I have emailed the dealership, but not sure I will get a straight answer.)
3. If this cover is not compatible with elevated racks, will i be able to easily remove the cover and install the elevated racks for this trip? (The cover would be nice for the trip, but I'd rather have the rack)
4. Could someone link me to a good basic thread on rack options?

Thanks for you any suggestions on this.

Try looking at the Keko website. They offer various Sport Bar racks and tonneau covers for the Maverick.

You're welcome. I'm not sure why RealTruck is eliminating Elevate Rack & TS Rail fit options, maybe they are trying to steer customers toward their products? My guess is that with more searching, you'll find more examples of racks with the Ford soft folding cover.

I have the Elevate rails with the Ford hard Trifold. Not sure about the soft. It would depend on how it mounts.
