Recommended Crossbars for a Retrax XR Bed Cover for a Bike Rack

Question:

I am interested in finding a pair of crossbars and eventually a bike rack for two bikes that will be compatible with my retrax xr truck bed cover. I have it mounted on a 2019 ram 1500. Can you point me in the right direction?

I would be happy to help you. I have a great option for adding crossbars that are compatible with a Retrax XR Bed Cover. This system will fit your 2019 Ram 1500 or any truck no matter what bed length you have so long as you have the XR Cover.

It is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers item # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. These add a set of aerobars that sit a few inches above your bed cover. These crossbars are adjustable along your entire bed length and have a 220 lbs capacity. Nearly any crossbar mounted bike rack will work with this system.

For a bike rack I recommend the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack item # TH598004.
