Is There A Compatible Ladder Rack For A 2015 Ram 2500 With A TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover
Question:
Hi - Im looking for a rack that can be used to transport kayaks in conjunction with a TruXport tonneau cover. Id like to be able to use the tonneau cover closed while also transporting the kayaks. Ive got a bumper tow travel trailer.

Expert Reply:
TruXedo TruXport tonneau covers like the part # TX248901 cover the top of the bedrails, blocking the stake pockets and don't have come with t-slot rails so you would not be able to use this cover with any ladder rack. You would need to switch to a cover like the TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1546916, which sits inside of the bedrails and could then use a stake pocket mounted ladder rack like the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501 to haul your kayaks around.
If you'd prefer to keep your current tonneau cover then the only option would be to use a kayak trailer like the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL93FR. This would allow you to haul 2 kayaks with a bit of additional equipment, with the right storage solutions, so that you can keep the cover.
