Can I Transport A 4' Sheet Of Plywood With Pace Edwards Ultra Groove Installed On My 2017 Ram 1500

Question:

Do you know the open width inside the bed once the cover is installed? Can I fit a 4 foot wide sheet of plywood with the cover installed?

If your truck bed was able to carry a 4-wide sheet of plywood before, you will still be able to carry it with the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Metal Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover - Aluminum - Matte Black, part # 311-KMD77A01, installed on your truck. The cannister of this tonneau cover has a 9-1/2" drop from the top of your bed rails, leaving you with approximately 1' of usable space beneath the cannister. The rails of this tonneau cover are 2-1/2" wide, but again this is at the top of the truck bed. It does not affect the usable space below. You will have plenty of room to transport a sheet of plywood.

I have included a video review link that shows those dimensions below.
