Recommendations for a Tonneau Cover and Rack

[ATXDrummer]

Hey Community, I need a little guidance. I recently purchased a 2026 1500 Tungsten and am looking to outfit it with a bed rack. Ideally what I want is a tonneau / rack system that I could put a popup tent on. Popup tent won't stay on permanently as I sometimes DJ weddings and need to haul lighting truss etc. My RAM is equiped wiht the RAMBOX and I have researched as far as needing to swap out the OEM cargo rails for the aluminum ones. (Another thought...what would that mean for the rearview video? would i need to relocate it?)

What systems would you recommend / have experience with?

Thank you!

It seems like this question comes up at least a couple of times a month, The only hard weight bearing bed cover I have found that doesn't require changing to silver rails is the Diamondback. SE will hold about 400 lb's on top, the heavy duty about 1600 lbs on top. A plus is the company has been super responsive..

I’d be happy to recommend the Real Truck Retrax Pro XR with T-Slot Rails. You won’t be able to set up a tent on top of it but it handles all of your other stuff. It’s very convenient as well.
