I have a 2013 SCab and have the Thule setup. I will be honest and say it doesn't fit just dead on perfect, but honestly it works for me. I put a little piece of extra black foam weatherstripping I bought from Lowes on the outside of the clip between it and the door and it works fine. The doors do sit out just a bit from the clip being on, but you have to look closely down the side of the truck to see it. I have driven through plenty of rains and I will say in any normal rain I have no leakage, but if you are in just an all out downpour for an extended amount of time, you can get a very slow drip. Its just something that I have been willing to deal with no more than it ever happens. I use mine for work and play so its always on there. If you plan on just using it sporadically and taking it off, it may not be that big of deal to you. Just my thoughts.

I just received the Adarac truck rack from my mother for my birthday. Cool gift!. She ordered from my link to Auto Anything. She was very pleased with the shipping and customer service.

I have a question for anyone who has used this on a 2013 F150. The install instructions are not clear on how many spacers should be used. I watched a install youtube video for the rack, and he used two spacers and on threaded plate per tie down hole. The rack kit however comes with enought spacers for three spacers and one threaded plate per tie down hole. I used two spacers, should I have used three on a 2013 F150?

I have it on my 2013, and I think I used all of them. They are intended to fill the gap (top to bottom) so you don't crush the rail. As long as you have it tight, you should be fine.
I love my Adarac. I leave the bed rails on all the time, and add the racks during seasonal use or when I need to haul lumber etc. I haul ladders, lumber, kayaks, you name it. When hauling my canoe, I only use the front rack, and then use my hitch t-bar rack in it's lowest position for the rear of the canoe. The bed rails might be my favorite part. I use them as tie down points since they have holes along the full length. I also have a soft tonneau that stays on year round. The setup works perfect for me.

I am thinking about adding this to my F150 soon.
