While we do have a solution to use the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR574F on your 2022 Silverado short bed with Trax rails installed on the Retrax XR tonneau cover, you cannot attach the # RR574F directly to the Trax rails. This is because not only can we not confirm that the t-slot hardware from the # RR574F fit the track dimensions of the Trax rails, you won't have enough length on the carrier's themselves to allow you to extend the carrier to Trax on the opposite side of the truck. We also do not carry any fishing pole carrier confirmed to attach directly into the Trax T-slots.

With that being said, in order to use the # RR574F, you need to attach a crossbar system like the # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 (65" long) or the # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 (71" long). Both of these crossbar systems are designed to install directly into your Retrax XR Trax rails. Once the crossbars installed, you are ready to clamp-on or use the t-slot hardware of the # RR574F.
