Tonneau Cover Compatible With 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed

Updated 08/06/2019 | Published 08/04/2019

Question:

Im trying to find out the depth of the cover itself below the bed rails on the truck. Id like to cover my fifth wheel hitch which at the highest point is about 1 from the bed rails. I notice in the specs it states the cover rails sit about 1 7/8 below, but Im curious what the actual cover inset it below the rails. Essentially I need to know if itll clear when I pull it closed. Refer to photos for additional information. I appreciate any assistance with this question.

While we definitely have an option for you, a cover that sits 2 inches below your bed rails isn't going to work for you have just about an inch from the top of your fifth wheel to the top of your rails.

The best option is going to be a tonneau that is a fold-up and sits slightly on top of your bed rails, and for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed I strongly recommend the Extang E-Series Tonneau Cover # EX99UV.
