Great question Edward, I actually reached out to Pace Edwards about this because I wasn’t 100% sure either. The Contractor Rig Rack Part # 311-CR6008 is technically designed to work with their covers that have Explorer rails, like part # EL200.

That said, they told me they had a customer test the CR6008 with the UltraGroove Metal Cover Part # 311-KMTA09A37, and it fit the T-slots perfectly with no issues. In fact, that customer ended up ordering 100 of those racks specifically to pair with UltraGroove covers so it’s safe to say they work great together!

Hey Edward, did you decide to go with the UltraGroove Metal Cover and Contractor Rig Rack combination? I'd love to hear how it worked out for you, as it could help others looking to pair these products.

@HeatherA. Hi Heather. No I did not. My wife bought the tonneau cover but it did not fit my truck. It was returned. I had multiple phone calls with folks there. You did not even list the right one according to the manufacturer. (I called them for the part number.). So I am without a cover and ladder rack. I have decided to just use a tool box for now and leave the truck open.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
