Question:

I have a 2021 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2 bed and have a few questions. Can you tell me if the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs is compatible with the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish? Is the Cantilever Extension for Thule Ladder Racks - 1,000 lbs - Full Size the correct add on for over the cab support? Also, are all Thule J-Racks for kyaks compatible with the ladder rack? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

The Thule TracRac SR # TH57RV will fit with both the Cantilever Extension # TH24002XT and the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK448227 for your 2021 Ram 1500 5-1/2' bed (without the RamBox). This is a great combination and we have confirmed that the cover will fit great with the ladder rack without any issues.

Please note that the MX4 cover won't fit if you have the Multi-Function Tailgate.

When it comes to a J-Style kayak carrier you can use the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier # TH849000 which mounts via the T-Slots in the crossbars. Since the TracRac SR crossbars are wider than standard crossbars that the kayak carriers are built to wrap around you will need the T-Slot style like this.
