Question:

Hello, I have a 2021 RAM 2500 with a Pace Edwards Ultra Groove Metal tonneau cover. Id like to get the cross bars for it, and I want to make sure I get the right stuff. I really like the Rhino Vortex setup that you have recommended for other customers. Im not sure that will work for my pickup, but I like the design and of course the price. Can you please tell me what I need to buy and if I need to go with Thule or Yakima thats fine too, just prefer the Rhino Vortex. Thank you!

The Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 hasn't been tested to fit with the t-slots for a Pace Edwards Ultragroove tonneau cover and confirmed to fit. That being said the only thing that could hold you back would be the size of t-bolt plate that slips into the t-slot of the cover so if it didn't fit you could just simply swap it out or trim the plate down to slide into the t-slot.

Personally, I prefer the versatility you'd get with the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover - 68" Crossbars # Y01151-5855 since it will allow the crossbars to sit above the cab of the truck so you can haul larger items like kayaks. The rack height adjusts from 19" to 30" and would be capable of sliding along the t-slots of your cover for easily adjustability. If you wanted longer crossbars you can use part # Y01151-5955 instead for 78" crossbars.
