The issue with all rooftop tents is that to mount them on a roof rack, the rack must be mounted to raised rails, and the roof racks that fit your 2017 Ram 1500 all attach to a naked roof, so a roof top tent is not compatible. I know you specified not on the bed of the truck, but that would be the only option for you so I wanted to mention it, and there is an option from Yakima for this:
- 78" Crossbars: Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-59
- 68" Crossbars: Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-58
And because the OverHaul HD uses standard size crossbars as opposed to the larger ones found on some racks, you can fit the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 directly on the bars of the rack. You can choose from the following colors for this tent:
- Haze Gray: Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK04
- Olive Green: Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05
