Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Long Bed with Tool Box
Updated 06/29/2026 | Published 06/25/2026
Question:
I have a 1997 dodge ram 2500 8’ bed. It has an over the rail toolbox with 76” from back of toolbox to tailgate. Can you tell me if the 6’6” tonneau cover will work with these dimensions? Can you tell me the exact dimensions from front of canister to end of rail? Thank you!

Hey Eric, we have one solution that was made for your truck and the fact it has a tool box in the bed with the Access Toolbox Edition Soft Roll Up part # 834532000821. This was made intentionally shorter to allow for a tool box to fit in front of it.
A tool box made for a shorter truck like the # 311-FMD0777 I couldn't guarantee would fit.
How wide is your tool box?
