Adjustable Truck Bed Crossbars For 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie to Use the Thule Tepui Autana Rooftop Tent

Question:

I understand the tent has a diamond aluminum base. Dose this item include the truck bed support framing that the tent attaches too? if not, what are your recommendations as I would like to fine one that I can adjust the height, so the stowed tent is no higher than the top of my cab.

No, the Thule Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001ARG05 does not include any sort of truck bed support. The Thule Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3 Rooftop Tent is designed to sit on crossbars.

The best option that we have for your 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie to use the Thule Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001ARG05 would be the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-58.

The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-58 fits the 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie as long as you do not have RamBoxes. This would provide you with the crossbars needed to use the rooftop tent and this ladder rack can be adjusted between 19" - 30" above the truck bed rails allowing you to keep the tent stowed at a lower height.
