Retractable Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2024 Ram 3500 Short Bed
Updated 01/12/2026 | Published 09/03/2024
Question:
What is a good retractable tonneau cover for my 2024 3500 ram for a 6’4 bed to use with my fifth wheel. I was looking at the Jack rabbit but I see mixed reviews on quality. I like that it’s low profile. Just want to make sure I have good clearance when towing. Can you help tell me the best bang for the buck. Thanks Thomas

Hey Thomas, I really like the PowerTrax ONE part # RT70232 for your 2024 Ram 3500 short bed as it is a higher quality tonneau cover and it has a power retract function that means it's easier to retract than a manual one and it's lower profile so it will work great with your 5th wheel hitch.

Hey Thomas, how did the PowerTrax ONE work out on your Ram 3500 with the fifth wheel? Did the low profile give you the clearance you needed while towing? Your feedback could really help others choosing between power and manual retractable covers.
