Hmm, I'll have to think of a different mounting setup then, especially if I want to maintain the use of my tonneau. I don't think I even have stake holes with the crew cab.

Just remember if you order one, and think you may get a toolbox later on, order the rack with the mounting brackets for a toolbox. if you dont the first time they are roughly 65 to 75 dollars if you order them later.

im not sure how your going to maintain the tonneu cover with the backrack. even without the toolbox brackets the nonbox brackets still come out about 1.5" from the rack itself. As far as the mounting on the crew cabs go there has to be a mounting system. i have seen them mounted on trucks with crew cabs. when you order you just need to specify the cab type ie: crew, extended, standard. I am sure there is an application for your truck.

I've got a roll up tonneau cover from Laredo. Wonder if this rack will fit without getting the cover adapter. I think after putting the cover adapter on, it lifts the whole rack up a few inches and it just looks off to me.
