Hello Dennie,
The RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte Black # RT80384 is for Ford trucks.
For your 2016 Ram 1500 with 8' bed you will want the RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte Black # RT80233.
I do not have one set up to go measure, but here are the measurements:
96.3 inches (bed length) - 13.75 inches (canister depth) = 82.55 inches of useable bed, or the length off the actual cover when it is in use. The cover itself would cover your entire bed, so 96.3".
A nice thing about the RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover is the cover can be secured at any point along the rails, offering flexibility for various cargo sizes.
Is that the measurement you were looking for? Are you trying to use this on a different application and that is why you need the measurement?
