Compatibility of TruXedo Sentry CT and Thule TracRac SR on 2018 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2' Bed

Question

Question:

I have a TruXedo Sentry CT tonneau similar in style to the BAK Revolver X2 cover installed on my 2018 RAM 1500 with 57 foot bed no RamBox. Im looking for a ladder rack that will work with this cover. The Thule TracRac SR seems like it would be a good ladder rack. I would be using it for lumber, ladders, canoes, paddle boards etc. and the option to slide both racks toward the cab or take them off is nice.

Yes, the Thule TracRac SR # TH43003XT-784 or # TH43003XT-784EX (with the cantilever) is compatible with the TruXedo Sentry CT # TX1545916 on your 2018 Ram 1500 with the 5-1/2' bed (no RamBox). I confirmed this with my contact at TruXedo who said that these products will work together but to be mindful that the material of the cover may be a little tight when rolling it up with this ladder rack installed.
