Question:

I have a fifth wheel tool box that sets to back of bed. Can I have inside rail roll up bedcover with tail gate off. There will be a gap of about 4 inches above left and right side of tool box and v in middle will be open. Want to protect fifth wheel and generator from elements while not pulling. Not so worried about theft protection.

If you're needing a tonneau cover that sits inside the bed rails of your 2021 Ram 3500 6-1/2' bed then you'll want to check out the TruXedo Pro X15 # TX1446901. This is a solid choice for a soft cover and it has a matte black finish that matches your truck trim very well.

I will say that if your tool box is the full width of your truck bed and it's only 4" below your rails, I'm not sure how much clearance you'll have to be able to open up your toolbox. In this case I recommend going with the TruXedo TruXport # TX246901 instead because it sits on top of the bed rails so the rails for the tonneau won't interfere with your toolbox.

Attached are some videos of both covers for you to check out.
