The best roll-up tonneau cover available for your 2018 Ram 1500 that is compatible with the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack is the BAK Reolver X2; part # BAK39207 if you have the 5-1/2 foot bed or part # BAK39213 if you have the 6-1/2 foot bed.

This is a one-of-a-kind tonneau that combines the strength and durability of hard cover and the versatility of a soft roll-up cover. It features aircraft-grade aluminum rails that won't rust over time and a convenient latching system at the tailgate. The cover cannot be rolled up without opening the tailgate so as long as the tailgate is closed and locked your stored cargo is safe.

For a more economical option I really like the TruXedo Lo Pro QT; part # TX545901 for the 5-1/2 foot bed or # TX546901 for the 6-1/2 foot bed. This is a traditional soft roll-up cover that allows for a really quick and simple installation (estimated 20 minutes) with its quick-attach clamps and an easy 1-finger trigger latch that secures the cover at the tailgate. This cover again will secure the truck bed contents as long as the tailgate is closed and locked.

I have attached a couple video demonstrations on these covers that you can also check out.
