To attach the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray - Aluminum - 60" Long x 56" Wide # RR42113BF to your 2017 Ram 1500 Crew Cab without drilling you'll need to first install the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 # RB1500B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Heavy-Duty Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 # RRRLKHD, and the Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof # DK043. This system will clamp onto the door jambs for a tight fit against your roof.

These crossbars along with two Pioneer Platform Mounting Kit for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars # RR43105 will allow you to attach the # RR42113BF. You will need to keep in mind that the weight capacity of this setup will be limited to lowest rated component which is the legs at 165lbs.

I've attached installation videos for these items as well to walk you through this process step by step.
