WOLFBOX Power Retractable Tonneau Cover for Ram 1500: features and fit

The WOLFBOX SmartSlide is a power retractable tonneau cover for the new-body Ram 1500, model years 2019 to 2027. It is an aluminium cover that slides open and closed with an electric motor, so you can reach the bed at the touch of a control and stop it part-way along the rails. It is made for a specific truck, so fit comes first.

Fit: new-body Ram 1500 only

WOLFBOX says the cover is custom-engineered for the new-body 2019-2027 Dodge Ram 1500, using laser measurement for an OEM-level fit. It states that the cover is not for trucks with the RamBox system. Bed length, cab style and trim can all vary on a given truck, so check the brand's fitment information against your truck before ordering.

Power operation and control modes

Powered covers replace the manual roll, fold or latch with a motor. WOLFBOX describes four control modes and says you can stop and lock the cover at any position along the rail, which lets you open only as much of the bed as you need and keeps the rest of the cargo covered. If there is a power outage, the brand says you can open and close it by hand.

As with any electric accessory, the installation involves a connection to the truck's electrical system. Follow the manual, and consider professional installation if you are unsure.

Weather and theft protection

The listing mentions full-perimeter weather seals and a dedicated drainage system meant to channel rain, snow and dust away from the bed. WOLFBOX also cites built-in locks and hinges and a heavy-duty aluminium alloy construction for security. A tonneau cover isn't a safe: locks add a hurdle, but valuables are best kept out of sight and, where possible, out of the truck.

Load capacity and rails

WOLFBOX says the cover supports up to 800 pounds (about 363 kg), resists denting and corrosion, and has built-in T-slot rails compatible with most roof racks. That makes it possible to carry bikes, kayaks or gear on top. Confirm the load limit, the mounting hardware and how weight is spread, in the manual.

Lighting

Automatic LED lighting and mood lights are listed for nighttime use. These give light inside the bed when the cover is open and add a visual touch, according to WOLFBOX.

Weight and warranty

The cover weighs 114 lb (about 52 kg) as listed, so plan for two people when lifting it into place. WOLFBOX states a 5-year limited warranty and after-sales support. Read the warranty terms for what is and isn't covered.

Who it suits

It suits owners of a 2019-2027 non-RamBox Ram 1500 who want a motorised, lockable bed cover that keeps cargo dry and can be left partly open.

What to check before you buy

• Bed length: confirm the cover matches your bed size.
