Has anyone found a source to add T-Slot Bed Rails to the top of the pick up bed?
I am aware they are available with some rolling bed covers but looking for them separately.
Thanks

I’m interest in finding these as well.

new to the forum, and first time truck owner ('24 RR). I think I understand what you're asking, but I could be wrong. I recently installed a bed cover (BAKflip MX4). When I was at the off-road store, they recommended adding the side connections with it, from Truxedo. It was only an extra $150, I think some covers can't do this (IIRC), but this one did. So now when I am ready all I need to do is buy the bars. If I have this right and you're curious as to what exactly I got, you can PM me and I can check the receipt.

Hope this helps, and sorry if it didn't

Thank you
I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with a cover that already has them attached (EGR) but looking at all the options
If you have the brand and part number that would be great

Check out the Elevate Rack TS rails. These T-slot rails are even compatible with some tonneau covers. The rails include 4 tie-down cleats, as well. PM me to make sure these will work for your setup.

I bought a pair of these and can confirm they don’t fit. I have a BakFlip MX4 and the clamps are not compatible to secure both the bed side rails and T-Slot rails. I see that you are now offering the MX4 with T-Slots but not for the Ranger. When you can expect to have one for the ranger and can I just purchase the bed side rails as I already have the cover. I now have the t-slot rails that I purchased based on the input from the RealTruck Rep that I can’t use.

Update - 05/05/25 - The website shows instructions for the 24-25 Ranger but not yet available for sale. I called the number on the instruction sheet to see if I could purchase the updated rails with the T-Slot and the person said “no”. I asked if RealTruck was going to make customers with the existing covers buy the complete new bed cover if they wanted T-Slot Rails and he said yes. I could understand the rep saying no if I was asking they give me the rails but I was asking to PURCHASE them.

@RealTruck - you should seriously consider making these available for sale now. I need the t-slot rails, and it’s unfortunate that I will have to purchase a new bed cover. They could sell a bed rail set and provide excellent customer service. I’m looking into buying the Synetec. It looks to be a better option than the MX4 TS and a much better price.

If you do decide on a cover, the EGR is fantastic quality and I’m quite pleased with it.

Thank you! Went with Synetic USA. They are a local company that had all the features at a very good price

Did it fit your ’24 without issue? They don’t list the 24-25 on their list of available covers.
Yes and the brackets they provide for the Ranger Raptor are custom fit and powder coated black. I was blown away by the custom brackets

Sorry for all the questions but how did they know to include brackets for the Ranger Raptor? Did call in your order rather than purchase online? Was the install pretty easy?
