Different Bed Rails

Weird, the rails are completely different too, not just in color, the silver ones have a guide that hangs down over the bevel of the vertical slats in the bed.

Yes, I believe one is for use with that tonno cover and the rails bolt to the tonno cover frame. The other rails bolt to the truck bed. At least that's how it seems on Roll n Locks website...

Me too. I have seen pictures of trucks with both regardless of having a cover. I had been wondering if it was maybe a supplier issue. I would rather have the black ones as they also give a cleaner look by hiding the inner workings of the rambox by sitting almost flush.
So which tonneau is that?
My truck as the lower sitting aluminum ones. Making me wonder if my MX4 I have on order is gonna work?!?
Looks like the factory tonneau I believe.

I"m not sure which tonneau it is. I had recently bought the Mopar bed rails and bed divider for the standard 6.4' bed (non rambox). Upon installing the bed divider, I had hardware left over. I checked the directions about 45 more times and couldn't figure out what the extra screws and flat pre-threaded plates were for. I came across a video by Roll n Lock (I think that's who it was) who videoed an install of what appeared to be this same bed divider on a pre 19 truck. They bolted the trolley rails to the actual tonneau frame, and it used the left over bag of hardware I had. It was then I realized they just sent multiple bags of hardware. I assume from all this that Roll n Lock probably makes some of the Mopar stuff and they have, or will have, different rails for each application and bed style and whether or not you are using a tonneau cover. Because I found that there is interference between the Mopar Bed divider trolley rails and my Truxedo tonneau cover clamps. I had to remove one on each side. I see now why it would be nice to have those rails just bolt to the tonneau frame. Hope that makes sense.

I have a set of the black ones for rambox w/5'7" bed I need to swap.
Good luck. The black ones are essentially useless unless you want the soft factory tonneau cover. I’m looking for the stock silver set for mine.

I think If I wasn't going to put on a hard cover that I like the look better of the black ones. Also, FYI, there are some on ebay now for about $300 and the dealer can get them for about $275.

If this helps anyone, the silver rail part numbers are as follows:
68027048AD
68027049AD
68027048AD
68027049AD
Definitely like the look of black ones better but unfortunately I want a hard cover.
My only concern about these eBay rails is they all say 2010-2018. Not sure if mopar made a new set of rails to fit the 19’s.
