Question:

Can you recommend a ladder rack that works with a Gator trifold tonneau? Thanks

Expert Reply:

From what I was seeing it looks like the Gator tonneau cover on your 2019 Ram 1500 mounts on top of your bed rails so if you're wanting a rack for cargo we'll either need to go with a roof rack or go with a different tonneau cover that is compatible with a ladder rack.

For a roof rack I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo which uses the following:

60" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711520
Evo Clamp Feet - # TH710501
Fit Kit - # TH145199
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400

For a new tonneau cover and ladder rack I recommend the BAKFlip MX4 for the cover and the Rapid Switch Systems Pro HD Ladder Rack use the parts below. Please note these won't work if you have the RamBox:

BAKFlip MX4 (not compatible with Multi-Function Tailgate)
5-1/2' Bed - # BAK448227
6-1/2' Bed - # BAK448223

Rapid Switch Systems Pro HD Ladder Rack
5-1/2' Bed - # RS78FR
6-1/2' Bed - # RS88FR
