What Accessories Work With My Tonneau Cover

Ladder Racks

Some of the most popular ladder racks available today are compatible with the Peragon retractable aluminum bed cover. The rails of the Peragon bed cover and corresponding brackets require uninterrupted contact with the top, inside edge of the bed side rails, the entire inside lip all around, and the entire top of the front bed rail, so keep this in mind when selecting a ladder rack. Ladder racks that mount to the inside edge via a clamp will not work with our cover. We recommend looking for racks that mount to the top side of your truck either by bolting or using the stake pockets.

Bed Rails

Since bed rails generally mount to the stake hole pockets located on top of the bed rail sides, they typically do not interfere with installation and operation of the Peragon bed cover. You’ll find that bed covers that sit on the bed rail sides (non low-profile truck bed covers) cover up the stake hole pockets and will prevent you from using a variety of different tonneau covers. Bed rails are handy for a variety of things including securing cargo in the bed, as a handrail for accessing the cargo in your bed and enhancing the visual appeal of your truck.

Note: Some installations require minor trimming of the rubber seal or slipping the bed rail mounting base directly under the Peragon seal edge.

Bike & Cargo Racks

With such a massive variety of applications and needs, aftermarket products in this space are as seemingly infinite as bike components and tonneau covers. The long and short of it is that systems that rely on stake hole pockets or top-of-bed-rail (screw down) installation should be compatible. Hitch-mounted bike racks are oftentimes a great solution as well with our tonneau cover since the Peragon cover operates independently of the tailgate, allowing operation with hitch-mounted bicycles in place. There’s a wide array of truck bed rail mounted T-slots, tie-downs and tracks that you can deploy with different accessories to customize for your own needs.

Bed Extenders

A bed extender can be a convenient upgrade when you’re in need of extra room–just lower your tailgate and deploy your bed extender and your bed is fully functional with an extra 18-24″. Peragon is compatible with a couple different bed extenders and incompatible with others. Since the tonneau cover rails extend roughly 3″ into your bed on each side, careful selection of bed extenders is required. Below are some guidelines to aide you in selecting a compatible bed extender.

Fifth Wheel

Peragon retractable tonneau covers are popular among fifth wheel travel trailer owners because of its unique open-into-the-bed design that preserves rear visibility while driving and allows you to keep the cover in place. The cover works with many different fifth wheel hitches and the following will help you determine if your fifth wheel setup will be compatible. Due to the significant variation of hitch designs and truck models, we don’t publish recommendations, but you can always contact our Sales & Support team for additional information.

Headache Racks

Headache racks are one of the most popular truck bed accessories out there, and for good reason–they protect your rear window from debris and cargo that you’re hauling, but can also offer storage and other features like accessory lighting. The Peragon cover works with rail mounted headache racks that don’t mount on the inside lip of the bed rail. In some cases, an additional adapter can raise your headache rack and allow for tonneau cover clearance and expanded compatibility.

Bed Liners

Likely the most common aftermarket upgrade of a pickup truck, bed liners are nearly ubiquitous. There are many different styles, most of which are compatible with the Peragon cover. Spray-in liners are fully compatible, even sprayed over-the-rail. The BedRug is fully compatible. Under-the-rail plastic drop-in liners will work fine, with some requiring minor modification. If the plastic liner wraps over the front of the bed or over the tailgate, that’s fine too. Over-the-rail plastic liners that wrap over the sides of the truck bed may not be compatible or may require extensive modification.

Cargo Management Systems

Cargo management systems (also known as utility track systems) are becoming more popular in truck beds straight from the factory, though most are still installed as aftermarket accessories. These systems allow you to plug in a variety of different accessories for different functionality from cargo cleats to bed organizers and trays. In some cases, these systems interfere with the Peragon tonneau cover so we’ve provided the below guide to aide you in understanding compatibility.
