What does the Backflip MX4 look like when traveling with a fifth wheel? Is it lying down in the box or sitting up? If sitting up how do they stay put?

For your 2022 Ram 2500 crew cab you will need either the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48203 for the 6-1/2' bed or the # BAK48204 if you have an 8' bed. When using these with a 5th wheel hitch you will want to have the cover folded up and laying in the front storage position but not flipped up. If the cover were flipped up you would run into turning clearance issues since the cover reduces cab clearances when flipped up.

Do understand you may need to adjust your 5th wheel hitch and pin box to ensure you have enough clearances both when towing and to allow the cover to fold over the 5th wheel hitch.

Because the Retrax PRO MX Tonneau Cover #RT80467 for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 covers the bed rails, you would not be able to use a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac #TH27000XT since that rack requires the use of the bed rails. The only tonneau…

Hey Paul; the Thule TracRac SR #TH43002XT-780 is a really nice rack and a great choice for your 2025 Sierra 2500. Since this installs on top of the bed rails you will need a tonneau cover that mounts inside the bed rails. Also, since the uprights…
