Expert Reply:

For your 2022 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed (without Ram Box) and a multi-function tailgate, I recommend the TruXedo Pro X15 Soft Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Polyester and Vinyl # TX89FR. The Pro X15 comes with automatic tension control keeps the cover tight. In addition, the cover is super low-profile (sits only 1/2 inch above truck's bed rails). This provides a more sleek/factory look of the cover. This cover is compatible with your multi-function tailgate.

Since the stake pockets remain open with the Pro X15 installed, you can use a ladder rack. I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # A4000965. The Adarac Pro Series comes with a 500-pound weight capacity and straight, upright bases. The upright bases are important when using folding or roll-up covers because it eliminates rubbing that is common when using bases that slant inward toward the bed. For additional accessories, you can add a tie-down kit # A4000882 and sliding adjustable load stops # A4000880. For straps to secure to the tie-down kit, I recommend the Erickson Ratchet Straps # EM34415.
