Will the Thule TracRac SR fit a 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5 Foot 7 Inch Bed?

Question

Question:

I have a 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie 5’7” bed. NOT the classic version, Has THULE come up with a fit solution for the TracRac SR? I am getting conflicting information from website to website. Some say only the classic version and other claim to fit the 6 lug version. Too expensive to gamble and have to deal with shipping costs. Can you help please?

I confirmed that my contact at Thule that the TracRac SR parts you need to fit your 2021 RAM 1500 with a 5'7" bed (single cab or crew cab) is the Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks # TH24RV and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Dodge Ram and Ford Super Duty Pickups # TH43003XT. This part combination will let you mount your ladders and other cargo to your 2021 Dodge RAM 1500 - 5'7" bed.

The correct TracRac SR ladder rack for a 2023 Ram 1500 5-1/2 ft bed without Rambox is the part #TH57RV which comes with a different rail set than the TH21501 so they would not work for you. The correct rails for you truck would be the part #TH24RV.

Hi Jose, That's a great question. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 #AL47PD actually helps reduce bottoming out when you're towing or hauling by providing additional support to the rear suspension. Since you mentioned removing a previous air bag…
