Are the Truck Hero TS Rails Compatible with the Extang Xceed Tonneau Covers

Updated 08/24/2020 | Published 08/20/2020

Question:

I have a 2020 GMC 3500 with a standard length bed. It appears the TH65FR rail set installs under the cover side rails on the truck bed rails. My truck bed is 610inch long 82. Although I cannot find the exact diminsions for the Exceed, I assume it has to cover the majority of that length at least 80. The TH65FR that I think should fit my truck is 72inch long. Can you tell me how the installation accommodates or seals the 8 or so inch gap that is caused by the length differences? It seems that gap may be a built in problem for water intrusion. Thanks

The TS Rails for Truck Hero Elevate Rack System part # TH65FR is designed to fit along side of the Extang Xceed Hard Tonneau Cover part # EX47FR bed rails. Your original rails will still be in place and will continue to act as the weather barrier for the system.

These will be mounted along side and allow for the attachment of the crossbars or accessories you like.
