Ram 2500 Tonneau Covers: How to Choose the Right One

This guide is for Ram 2500 owners choosing a tonneau cover. The decision comes down to your model year, your bed length (6'4" or 8'), whether the bed has RamBox, and how you want the cover to open. For the pros and cons of each style in general, see How to choose a tonneau cover.

What to check first on your Ram 2500

• Generation. Most covers below are titled for a span such as 2010-2026 Ram 2500/3500, so one cover often serves both 2010-2018 and 2019-and-newer trucks. Watch the end years: one cover is titled 2010-2011 only and another stops at 23. None of the covers named here is titled for the 2003-2009 Dodge Ram 2500.
• Bed length. Titles for this truck name a 6'4" box and an 8' bed. A cover is made for one bed length, so confirm yours.
• RamBox. RamBox is the storage built into the bed sides on trucks that have it. Covers are titled either "with Rambox" or "without RamBox"; the two are not interchangeable.
• Several trucks per title. Many titles also list Ram 1500 and Ram 3500 years; read the Ram 2500 part.

How the cover types differ

A tonneau cover closes over the open cargo box of a pickup to hide and shelter what is carried inside. The styles in this guide:

• Retractable: the cover rolls into a canister at the bulkhead, so the bed can be left fully open without removing it.
• Hard folding: rigid panels fold forward in sections and can usually be driven with the panels stacked.
• Hard roll-up: interlocking aluminum slats under a vinyl surface roll toward the cab.
• Soft roll-up: a tensioned vinyl sheet on a rail system rolls forward to open the bed.
• Soft folding: a soft cover that spans the bed from the cab to the tailgate and folds open.

Through snow and slush season, look for the seals the makers describe below.
