Question:

Will the Yakima bedrock truck rack fit a THULE TEPUI RUGGEDIZED KUKENAM TENT? I have a 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7 hemi. Is there a sliding tonneau cover that will work with this as well?

Expert Reply:

The Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 300 lbs - 78" Crossbars, part # Y01160-59, should have no problem supporting the Thule Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3 Rooftop Tent with Annex - 3 Person - 600 lbs - Olive Green, part # TH8001ARG05. Yakima recommends using their heavy duty bars with rooftop tents and this truck rack comes with the heavy duty bars. This rack is rated to carry 300lbs of dynamic weight and the Thule Tepui weighs 192lbs, so that will not be a problem. The Yakima Bedrock HD Truck Bed Rack will not work with a tonneau cover.

There is a ladder rack, tonneau combination, that will work with your truck. The Yakima OutPost HD Overland Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars, part # Y01152-58 will work with the RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte Black, part # RT80232. The Yakima OutPost HD will attach to the RetraxPRO MX tonneau cover. This cover is rated to carry 500lbs making it a perfect match.
