Bed Cover Question

[Andrewdcollings]

Just bought a used 2021 Limited w/ ram boxes, the bed utility group and the multifunction tailgate.

After buying a bed cover (truck didn’t have one on when I bought it) I learned the hard way that the black rails don’t work with basically any covers lol.

Trying to find the OEM one that comes on these trucks new. Any chance anyone knows the part #? Think I’ve found it but none of the descriptions on the sites are super detailed

Or if there happens to be any aftermarket that are available now besides the diamondback!

Appreciate any help in advance!

Reminded me to put mine back on, great opportunity for a picture of the sticker on it.

The black rails do come OEM on a truck with Ramboxes (unfortunately)
No aftermarket rails that I know of.

This is what you need (left and right)

Use your existing screws for the new "silver" rails.

Can get them from the dealership, should be able to get them for around $350.

If you wanted to keep the black rails you can only get the Mopar soft cover, which works fine, but is a soft trifold.

Appreciate it! Crazy, standard soft cover and it’s at least $1,000 online!

Appreciate it. Will probably get these, cheaper to buy these and an aftermarket cover then buying the OEM one lol

Appreciate it. Ended up just ordering the silver rails. Was cheaper to buy both the rails and an aftermarket cover then the OEM cover by itself lol.

Also ideally wanted a roll up cover, always found those more practical when I wanted to use the whole bed.

Extra step with the rails but worked out. Appreciate the help!

I really like the look of the black rails but now I am thinking about the hard folding cover again. Maybe purchase the rails and get a local shop to powder coat them black.

Funny was thinking the same thing, the black rails look really good. Feels a little pointless considering I won’t see them 99.9% of the time under the bed cover buuuuut I still want them black lol
