Tonneau Cover and Compatible Ladder Rack for 2019 Ram 2500 Short Bed

Question:

I have a 2019 Ram 2500 with a 64inch bed and no ram box. I would like to know if Thules Xsporter will fit with the Bak Revolver X4.

Because the Thule Xsporter Pro, part # TH500XTB uses clamps that affix to the inside of the top of the bed side, it would not be compatible with the # BAK39213 BAK Revolver or any tonneau cover, as it also attaches to the inside of the bed side. Also, the way the height adjustment feature works wouldn't work with a tonneau cover. We do have some ladder rack options available that will work with the Revolver, but they're not height adjustable.

To be compatible with the Revolver tonneau cover, you'll want a ladder rack that attaches via the stake pockets and sits atop the bed sides, not the inside edge. You'll lose the height adjustment, but you will be able to install a ladder rack. The Thule TracRac SR, part # TH43003XT-501 would work perfectly as would the Adarac # A49FR Pro Series. Which would work best for you will depend on your budget and the kind of capacity you're looking for. The Adarac is about half the price, but offers a limited 500 lb weight capacity. The Thule TracRac SR is more expensive, but offers a whopping 1250 lb capacity.
