Will the Pace Edwards UltraGroove on a 2018 Ram 2500 Work with a Sidewinder Pin Box

Question

Question:

Looking for a retractable tonneau cover for my 2018 ram 2500 with short box. I have a fifth wheel hitch non sliding as I have a sidewinder pin box mounted in the bed. Any suggestions? Was looking at the pace Edward ultragroove metal but didn’t know if it will clear when turning.

The Pace Edwards UltraGroove hard tonneau covers are a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ram 2500 as long as you don't have the RamBox. Since your trailer is equipped with a Sidewinder pin box you don't need to worry about the pin box coming into contact with the sides of your tonneau cover as the pin box doesn't move.

We have 3 different versions of the UltraGroove for you to choose from. Part # 311-KED7833 is aluminum and powered, part # 311-KMD7833 is aluminum and not powered, and part # 311-KRD7833 has an aluminum and vinyl construction.

I have attached some review videos for you to check out.

Answer 1

Hey Thomas, I really like the PowerTrax ONE part #RT70232 for your 2024 Ram 3500 short bed as it is a higher quality tonneau cover and it has a power retract function that means it's easier to retract than a manual one and it's lower profile…

I confirmed with my contact at Pace Edwards that the JackRabbit Tonneau Cover #311-JRD7833 can be opened without a key as long as the lock is in the "unlocked" position. You will not need the key in order to open the cover every single time…

For you 2011 Dodge Ram, I have a recommendation for your 4 panel hard cover tonneau. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover #BAK48203. If you have an 8 foot bed, then you will want #BAK48204. This Tonneau has a…

Good question! There are some subtle differences between these Pace Edwards tonneau covers that fit your 2019 Ram 3500 with the 6-1/2' bed. The Switchblade Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover #311-SWD7833 is the basic design. It's nicer than a lot…

When folded up into the "buckled" position the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover #BAK26203 is going to take up 29" at the front of the 6-1/2' bed on your 2018 Ram 2500 (see attached). This will likely allow you to couple your 5th wheel…

The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th…

Hey Tom, congrats on the new truck! Typically when we hear that someone has the OEM tow prep package they mean the puck system. This is going to be five circular holes built into the bed of your Ram truck and is by far the best way to attach a 5th…

According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…

Answer 10

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Hey Dave, welcome back! The only front hitch that fits the diesel models is the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch #EH37FR. Installation will require some trimming. You can see what it's like in the installation video linked further down…

Answer 12

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 options.…
