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.
