So I have a 2016 Rebel with Rambox 5’7” bed. When I bought from dealer it had soft trifold Ram cover. So I have black tie down / accessory rails in the inside of my truck bed. Well after almost 6yrs the vinyl soft cover has holes starting to open where vinyl hits brackets on tonneau frame. So I’ve been looking at roll up covers (pro x15; sentry ct, and revolves x4s) and noticed that many sites kept saying (for trucks with silver accessory rails). So I found out the rails that come on my truck are because of the factory soft trifold.
Well the other day I got lucky and Amazon had the Sentry CT for 5’7 bed for $539!!! I thought it was wrong info but after referencing listing and truxedo site it is the 1544916 model which is what I need.

So now I need the silver rails. I found this on allmoparparts.


Is this what I’ll need to swap my black rail kit out for?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure as mine is still in good shape but since you've been on @AllMoparParts.com let's see if Benny (just tagged him) can give you some guidance.

Let me do a little checking here bfill_rebel. In my case, I was told by ReTrax that I needed the silver rails. Hang on.

ok. That’s confirming what I’ve pieced together. I think bak’s site when I was considering the revolver cover even had a note - silver rails only. Thanks.

(Also sent you a message before you replied here - in case you see that too)

Ok, just went to Truxedo website, typed in your truck & bedcover. Then I accessed the installation instructions with the Rambox. It looks like you definitely need to replace the bedrails.
I saw the message, but just came here directly.
BTW, it looks like a nice cover. Good luck.

Great. I’ll order the set I linked above from Bennys site (like to support forum venders when I can)

On my 18 2500, the stock rails are silver, the Truexdo ones are black.

Bfill_rebel, did Benny get a hold of you? He can give you a code for reduced shipping. I didn’t wait for something I ordered directly from their site, wasn’t a good idea! Shipping was really ridiculous.

From the instructions and some others input. The rails the truxedo mounts too needs to be the Rambox silver bed rails/cargo rails. My cargo rails are black which is the case for how the clamps on the factory trifold cover work.

The black Rambox cargo rails only came on trucks with the factor soft trifold cover.

From what I’ve gathered talking to folks

He has not. I went to check out and shopping was over $250.

Found another parts site where shipping was $35 for 5-7 business days or 43 for 3-4 business days. Went with the 3-4 business day.

Trying to get em in so I can install before I have some call weekends I won’t be able to get them in. Would like to have for when we are taking kids sled/skinning/snowboarding in northern Michigan (keep luggage dry as OEM vinyl cover has a few holes).

got cover installed. Was not as either would seem. Switching my rails out for the silver ones was a piece of cake. All said and done I am happy and really like the function/look of cover.

Yes I really enjoy the cover. Appearance function quality all top notch. Couldn’t be happier with my choice.
