Ladder Rack System for RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover on a 2019 Ram 1500

Question

Question:

I have a 2019 Ram 1500 shortbed without Ram Boxes and I have the RetraxOne XR Tonneau cover. Im looking for a slot mountable rack system for carrying kayaks. I found the Yakima Overhaul HD which would work, but Im curious if there is a comparable product from Thule or another manufacturer. I havent been able to find anything. The adjustability of the Overhaul HD is not a requirement, but it is a nice feature. Thank you.

As of right now (April 2019) the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-58 (68" crossbars) and # Y01151-59 (78" crossbars) are the only ladder racks confirmed to fit with your RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails # RTT-60243 (5-1/2' bed) or # RTT-60245 (6-1/2' bed). All you need for the OverHaul HD to fit the Trax Rails is the adapter kit # Y01155.

One of the best things about the OverHaul HD is the ability to add eye bolts # Y01162, load stops # Y01161, or ladder roller # Y01163 for customized cargo control as well as the SideBar rails # Y01153 or # Y01154 for more carrying space.

There are other brand roof rack systems that can be used with the Trax Rails but they sit lower and don't have as high of a weight capacity as the OverHaul HD (500 lbs). I even called Thule and my contact said that they haven't tested and confirmed a fit yet.

Answer 3

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…

Rhino Rack actually has a kit designed specifically for fitting the tracks of a RetraxPro XR ladder rack with the part number #RRVA180B-RRRLT600. This kit includes the feet you mentioned #RRRLT600 which fits the tonneau.

Answer 5

It will not; there is a Thule fit kit that will fit your RetraxONE XR tonneau cover, though not an individual foot; what will work is the following: - Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3101 #THKIT3101

Timbren does make a 3,500 lb version of their axle less systems that has a 4 inch lift built into it. For that you'd want the part #ASR35HDS02. This is basically exactly what you listed wanting so this would be a great solution for you.

There is a solution that involves adding perpendicular bars to your Yakima OverHaul HD. However, it will not be by attaching Yakima HD Bars to your Yakima OverHaul HD. The HD bars are not designed to mount perpendicular to your existing roof racks…
