Looks like it's bolted on and THROUGH the bed cover.

Looks like its still in the test fit stage, it will go under the cover if he decides to keep it. Looks good, bolt it on and hook up those lights.

Make sure you don't just plug into the trailer wiring harness. The extra S/T/T lights will make the truck think there is a trailer holed up at all times.


I ran into that issue when I added extra lights to my truck. To prevent the problem, you will need an adapter. I bought mine from e-trailer and it took care of the problem.


Good luck.

Sorry, I should have included it in my response. I just went on e-trailer and looked it up. Part # 119190.

I'm curious to see how these look installed from farther back and the side. I really like the Magnum racks, trying to figure out how to get one installed on a Diamondback cover as I don't like the Diamondback headache racks. Also wondering if it affects the camera view from the top camera in the 3rd brake light.

Very Disappointed with low profile Magnum Rack, blocked the 3rd brake light and using the plugs supplied the SD thought a trailer was present, seriously confusing the dash electronics, yes, Magnum admits to compatibility issues, but after long conversations with them and per Magnum, they contacted Ford OEM there was no viable solution to the trailer lighting issues / confusion using the extended plug supplied by Magnum. I am in receipt of a alternate taller HeadAche rack without lights to see if the DOT 3rd brake light is preserved, more to follow. JB

FWIW, you can see some pix of the "open" headache rack I've listed on Craigslist HERE.
