My search is over, I have finally found a bed rack that works with hard folding tonneau covers! I install Adarac's Pro Series bed rack on my Ram Rebel and absolutely love it!
This rack uses an aluminum rail that mounts to the top side of the bed rail to attach the bed rack. This enables the use of most hard tonneau covers. As long as your tonneau cover allows access to the stakehole pockets you're good to go!
Here's a link to the rack I went with:

Kinda bizarre I was just asking a buddy to weld me up a rack because I couldn’t find one. He linked me your video and you answered every checkbox I gave him. 2020 Rebel, folding hardcover, removable, minimal. Very nicely detailed installation video. Thank you.

Great informative video. Ordered my Pro rack today as a result! Had a Thule roof rack for my 2010 Dodge for my kayaks, and intended to use it on my 2020 RAM, but it doesn't fit, so I would have to buy a whole new set up. Glad I saw the video, the ADARAC is a way better option for basically the same price as the Thule, actually a bit less and way more functional / accessible too.

Excellent video WF41! I was also looking at what would fit my Rebel with my BakFlip MX4 - your video came as I was zeroing in on the Adarac and KBVoodoo. Wondering if you think the size of cross bars will hold a Thule roof box given the 1.5 inch size bar on the Adarac?

@WaterFowler41 3 жыл бұрын

I saw a video of a guy running a box on the same rack so I would assume you can. I don’t have much experience with roof boxes so I would double check. Good luck with your rack research, I think right now this rack is like $450 on realtruck.

@sallydesipio9505 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for this very informative video. In your opinion, is this sturdy enough for a hardshell RTT that weighs 140lbs? It would see some moderate off-road use. And, do you think the lower height Adarac would be better? (I could use a rolling tonneau cover with it)

@WaterFowler41 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve seen folks throw rtt on top of these. I’d double check weight capacities but I’m fairly certain you can. No you can not lower the height.

@rwhite1357 3 жыл бұрын

Good video. Talk about timely. I’ve been looking for a rack for my Rebel for months that would fit with my hard folding cover. When you remove the racks, the channels stay on the side rails right? I have a kayak and my wife has a paddle board. Looks like they would fit. I was thinking I had to go to a roof rack mount which I didn’t want on my Rebel. Thank you.

@WaterFowler41 3 жыл бұрын

Yep the rail stays on and it can actually double as a tie down rail. The cross member is very wide which would fit 2 yaks or in your case your kayak and your wife’s board.

@@WaterFowler41 Yeah, the two options I've seen for the PW/RamBox are like $2600 bucks after options and shipping. No way baby! That's the Nutzo and Contour. There are internal mount, but I run a Retrax Pro cover and dont' want to loose that. I think I've figured out a way to attach and still use the Ramboxes. Just a matter of deciding if I want to try and modify something cheaper, or try to weld my own.

Thanks so much for doing this video! I have a 2019 RAM Rebel with a BackFlip bed cover and this rack absolutely fits and allows my bed cover to stay functional. Just as easy to mount as you showed. I also had the same challenge in that the garage door is a couple of inches too low to fit the truck, even when I lower the air suspension to the lowest setting. The truck only goes into the garage in the winter so taking the rack off come winter and leaving the side rails on looks like the easy solution. Am curious about mounting a kayak in that it looks like like you just mounted it directly to the rails? We have a 13.4 foot x 34 inch wide Ocean Kayak Malibu Two XL coming (it will carry me and the wife or one of us and our 90 pound dog). I thought I would need to add kayak mounts of some kind to the rail but looks like you have just dispensed with that? Also looks like you don't bother to tie down nose and tail of kayak? Any advise welcome.

@WaterFowler41 2 жыл бұрын

My kayak gets strapped directly to the rails. The rubber strip is enough to hold the kayak still. I then loop a strap across the front and one across the rear. Then I use a bungee cord to keep the front handle from rattling on my roof. No issues with the kayak moving at highway speeds.

I've been looking for a rack that could be installed without removing my Tonneau cover...then I discovered this rack solution on the ADARAC website.Further investigation and I found your install video. As you mentioned..it's a rare thing to find a rack that allows you to do this. AND THEN...the bad news; I have no stake holes in my 2003 Dodge Dakota...so now I have 3 options: I could never haul my boat, or I could take off my Tonneau cover and buy one of hundreds of available clamp-on truck racks. Third option...buy a different truck ( one with stake holes) and install this rack. Why Dodge would build a truck without stake holes is a mystery... next truck extremely unlikely to be a Dodge because I've got a pretty good grudge going over this whole thing.

@WaterFowler41 3 жыл бұрын

Are you sure the stale holes aren’t there? A lot of trucks have them but the plastic bed cap covers them up. I would look into that a little more before completely throwing in the towel
