Expert Reply:

The Yakima Roof Tracks part # Y01126 for 42" long, part # Y01127 for 54" long, or part # Y01135 for 60" are universal tracks for a roof rack. They are not vehicle specific and will work on the majority of applications that space permits and the surface is relatively flat. On your 2016 Ram 1500 you could use them on the roof or bed rails. However, all of the tracks will require drilling so you will want to keep that in mind and you will also need to use the Replacement PlusNut Hardware Kit part # Y8880039 as you mentioned for the Yakima tracks.

In order to add crossbars to the Yakima tracks you will need crossbars part # Y8810025 (2), mounting feet part # Y8890027 (4), and fit kit part # Y00221 (2). The crossbars are 66" long but can be cut to your exact specifications. In order to add locks to this system you will want to use part # Y07204.
