Default Tonneau AND a rack

I've searched through many threads and not quite found what I'm looking for.
I think......
I would like a roll up, with metal supports inside. The kind that does not roll into a box.
AND, ladder / sport rack that can easily be removed. Needs to carry a canoe and or paddle boards.
Any suggestions would be great. thanks
2023, 5'7" bed

I have this combo and really like its versatility. I use the racks for kayaks, lumber and ladders.

I was going to recommend the same thing, but you mentioned preferring a roll-up cover. I have had a Lomax on my 2023 5.5' bed for more than six months, I absolutely love it. Keeps my stuff dry, easy to open, easy to remove and install. I also wanted the option to add a rack at some point which was an added bonus (I haven't added one yet). There's a cover that you can't completely open (but removes without tools) or one that you can flip against the rear window (that installs semi-permanently). Bought mine from a site partner, great experience.

Really no complaints at all! I started getting a whistle from the racks about three years in but figured out it was the rubber strip in the top which can slide. If it gets in the right spot it can whistle. A little glue to hold it in the middle stops it. The adarac racks have been great. The ends have a plastic piece with a loop but I never use it for anything since it would break.

tonneau cover is great as well. I had this on a short bed with the bedcover from agrifab and it never leaked. It was not the fully flush one but was raised up about an inch. I switched trucks and the new 6.5’ bed had the Ford cover already. This one leaks a little but not much. The flush covers close up easier because you don’t have to push on the edges to makes sure it seals. I was happy with both though.

when I switched bed sizes, I just bought longer rails to replace the shorter ones but used the same racks again.

I believe I bought the combo from RHRswag.com but it was agricover’s combo.

id look at this:

https://realtruck.com/p/elevate-rack-system/

Basically its a t-slot rail system that works with a LOT of covers and then you can use their rack system or you can use a lot of other racks such as yakima or there is one thats elephant rail system or something similar

Thats what I ended up going with. Like the adjustable height and rail system.
