Recommended Tonneau Cover Compatible Ladder Rack For A 2022 Ram 1500

Question:

Im interested in a bed rack that fits the rails and doesnt interfere with the rolling bed liner. Does Thule or another company sell a rack like the one listed in the subject that isnt as tall? Im looking for one that is more level with the roof of the truck. if truck brand matters its a 5th gen Ram 1500 crew cab

For a rack that would be more level with the cab of your 2022 Ram 1500 while also being compatible with a tonneau cover I recommend the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System # TX46NV, for a 6-1/2' bed, or # TX96NV if you have a 5-1/2' bed.

These ladder racks have a similar t-track design to allow the towers to easily slide for the perfect placement and have an 18" or 28" height setting so you can get closer to the cab height of your Ram. This cove is compatible with following tonneau covers:

BAK: FiberMax, F1, G2, HD, MX4, Revolver X2, Revolver X4, and VP
Extang: Encore and Exceed
Retrax: One XR with T-slot and Pro with T-slot
Truxedo: Lo Pro, Pro X15, Sentry, and Sentry CT

If you don't already have a tonneau cover then I recommend the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl # BAK24ZR for a 5-1/2' bed or # BAK84ZR for a 6-1/2' bed.

These cover gives you the best of both worlds with soft vinyl top and hard aluminum underbody for a sleek and easy to use tonneau cover.

Note: These ladder racks and tonneau covers are not compatible with RamBox models. If you have RamBoxes then let me know and I can find an alternative for you.
