Question:

Hello, I have a 2025 Jeep Gladiator with the Tonneau cover. I would like to purchase the Kuat grip ski slide out for 6 - but I need the rails that can go across the truck bed. Which rail system do you recommend?

Hey, Anastacia! Happy to help out.

There are a few great ways to add cross bars over your Gladiator bed that will work with your tonneau cover. I just need to know which cover you have so I can point you in the right direction. Some covers only pair with specific setups or need special adapters to attach the bars.

For example, Yakima part # Y01152-5755 fits perfectly with Retrax XR and Pace Edwards UltraGroove tonneau covers. If you want something more universal, the Adarac M-Series part # A77ZR is a great option. It works with Access roll-up covers and most other inside-the-rail tonneau covers.

These are the lowest-profile racks we offer for your truck bed, but if you’d like something taller that clears the cab, check out part # A38ZR.

Once I know which cover you have, I can get you the best options for your setup.

Hello! Thanks for all of this - I have Mopar 82216372AA Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover . So, what would you recommend? I'll need to be able to load & unload our skis and suitcases/gear. When we're not on ski trips I'll still need access to the truck bed, so I'll need something that I can take on & off if I need to haul something tall.

@Anastacia I did a lot of searching to find out who makes the Mopar cover you have but I wasn't able to get a straight answer from the manufacturers. If your current cover doesn't cover the stake-pockets, then you can use the Adarac M-Series part # A77ZR if you want bars that are closer to the bed rails. If you prefer higher up rails then I'd go with Adarac Pro Series part # A38ZR. Both will have channels at the top of the bars so you can mount the Kuat Grip Ski part # KU87SR via the channel mount to the rack.
