All models of the 2021 Ram 1500, including your Rebel, have interior bed dimensions of 66 inches, so for your truck with the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-80243 (5-1/2' bed) or # RTT-80245 (6-1/2' bed), the Rhino-Rack system that is going to give you the best fit and coverage is the 71 inch bars:

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…
