Ford Bed-Mount ramps and compatibility with other accessories.

Looking at these:

1. Do they interfere with the ford accessory bed extender?

2. do they work with common tonneau covers? I have a Bakflip MX4.

I know they’re pricey but I’m not cheap and I like how they mount.

I ordered them for my factory build then put on a Leer hardshell tonneau and now I can't use them. There's just not quite enough room. I can't say about fit with other tonneaus. You have to have the right tailgate, or at least the right tailgate cap to use them. They're super easy to use. It's actually harder to get them on and off the racks in the bed. They come with nice cable locks too.

Go to Ford's website and build out a Raptor and try adding the ramps and the bed extender. If you can't do it, it won't let you. It'll tell you that to add this, you have to remove this......

That’s what I’m after. The specs are the specs but actual use is frequently different.

curious though let’s say you load a quad or two bikes back there how would you get them back on the storage racks? Seems like a cool idea but something you would hardly ever use.

I dont see how you’d be driving and just all the sudden need the ramps, unless you are some diehard garage sale-er and often pick up new bikes. Lol

and again when you do need them wouldn’t the item in the bed block where they would mount?

I have these ramps and the Ford bed extender. They work well together. When the tailgate is down and the bed extender is out there is no interference. When the tailgate is up, the ramps are stowed properly, and the bed extender is stowed properly they don't interfere either. Basically makes it so that it all stows away nicely in the bed with the tailgate closed. I don't have a tonneau cover though.

View media item 15056I have the ramps, bed extender combo, they worked ok together, I ditched the bed extender when I started building my chase rack, I have the ramps, spare tire, 2 -- 5 gallon gas cans, jack, leitner rack with XL gear pod, road shower and 450 rally bike all on the back of the truck, the only way these would effect a cover would be if the round bar that the ramps clip onto at the tailgate interferred with the cover, and it should not hit most of them, the only other place would be where you clip the cover to the underside of the bed rail and what kind of clips they use the Leitner stuff uses clips like a cover and it did not interfere. These ramps are the single best accessory I have EVER and I mean EVER purchased for a truck as it relates to loading motorcycles in the back of the bed, I am never going back to using a ****** little loading ramp again...

I have the ramps. No tailgate extender but I do have a tonneau cover. I have the truxedo sentry ct hard rolling cover and both fit together fine. My truck came with them off the dealer lot so it wasn’t something I spec’d.

I think it it’s a great option if you dirt bike or haul 1 quad. It’s pretty easy to get them in and out. I generally keep one in the bed all the time just Incase I need it for something. They really tuck out of the way nicely. Whenever I need to haul dirt Or something I just take the ramp out and leave the bracket and it’s fine.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I would prefer these because they stow on the walls of the bed instead of my garage. I’m planning on selling my second bike, a Z1000 to buy a honda monkey. I also have an Africa Twin so I have the grownup bike covered. A small runabout, that can go off-road and also teach my 5’2” wife and also my 2 kids to ride sometime is just where I’m taking it. More feedback would be good. I have a bakflip mx4 and I’m pretty sure the clamps and whatnot aren’t even close to the pic above
