Expert Reply:
I do have roof rack options for your 2021 Ram 1500. Both of my recommendations will come with heavy duty crossbars instead of the standard crossbars. I have one for a Crew Cab and one for the Quad Cab.
If you have the Ram 1500 Crew Cab, your roof rack will consist of the following items:
Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 68" Long - Qty 2, part # Y01158
BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR
HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4, part # Y03541
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 4, part # Y06135
Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4), part # Y07204
This roof rack has a maximum weight limit of 165 lbs. I included the Yakima Same Key lock cores so you can secure this roof rack to your vehicle.
On the other hand, this is my recommendation if you have the Quad Cab instead:
Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - 69" Long - Qty 2, part # TH713600
Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # TH710501
Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5199, part # TH145199
Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4, part # TH450400
This roof rack also have a maximum weight limit of 165 lbs and I included the Thule lock cores so you can lock this roof rack to your vehicle.
I have included product description links, a video review link, a video of the Yakima roof rack being installed on a 2020 Ram 1500, and a video of a Thule rack being installed on a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic below. With regard to the Thule installation, the only difference between your recommended rack and the one being installed are the crossbars.
