We do have exactly what you need for your 2017 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed - a tonneau cover that works with a sliding ladder rack, with the best combination for your truck being the following:
- Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-784
- BAK Revolver X2 Tonneau Cover # BAK39207
- BAK Revolver X4s Tonneau Cover # BAK44ZR
The Revolver will work with this ladder rack because it installs completely inside your bed rails. It is also truly low-profile, sitting flush with your bed rails for a dynamic look.
The TracRac SR uses aerodynamic bars which will give you a quieter, more fuel-efficient ride than any other ladder rack while still sporting a robust 1,250 lb capacity. This combo of rack and cover is going to give your 2017 Ram 1500 a leg up on similar trucks because you'll be able to carry more cargo while also having a more secure bed (not to mention just looking cooler).
