I highly recommend the Yakima BaseLine FX roof rack for your 2024 Ram 1500 because it easily clears the sunroof but it also has the crossbars integrated into the legs so it looks much more like a factory rack than the other options available for your truck. Here are the parts you need for this system:

- BaseLine FX with JetStream Crossbars # Y99UV
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06135
- Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional)

The majority of the time people want to add a roof rack on their truck is so they can transport their kayaks without taking up all of their bed space. If this is you then I highly recommend using the Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Roof Rack # KU53VR because it's a very simple system that looks very sleek both when it's in-use and when it's in the folded/stored position, which you can see in the linked review video.

If you'll be using the roof rack for something else just let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you out with a different accessory!

Hey Ted, so if you look in the bed of your truck and see 5 holes/pucks that would mean you have the OEM prep. I'd assume if you had it you'd have seen them by now. If you had it you'd only need a ball like the part #C60618. If…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two…
