Ram 2500/3500 HD Bed Rack (Tapered Bed) | XTR3 Popular Builds + MOLLE Packages

Get that rig dialed in just right — order a complete, mission-ready setup built on the most modular bed rack on the market today.

The XTR3 Popular Builds bundle our most popular Ram 2500/3500 HD truck bed rack configurations with the accessories that make them work, so your rig arrives ready to load gear, not waiting on a second order. This listing is built for the Ram 2500/3500 HD Tapered Bed. The Ram Heavy Duty is built to tow and haul — a natural base for fifth-wheel and gooseneck rigs that still need to carry gear up top — and whether you're loading it out for overland expeditions or a utility setup that earns its keep on the jobsite, these builds get you there in one purchase.

Why order a Stages package?

• Bundle & save — buying your rack and accessories together as a Stage costs less than piecing them in one at a time.
• Most popular configurations — these are the setups our customers reach for most, dialed in and ready to go.
• Mission-ready out of the box — MOLLE panels, AXS gates, and slide-outs arrive matched to your rack, no guesswork on fitment.
• One purchase, fully outfitted — spend less time sourcing parts and more time on the trail or the jobsite.

The XTR3 is the newest variant of our rack. It essentially divides the rack into 4 equal quadrants, giving you 4 independently adjustable side braces — so you can mount a rooftop tent, traction boards, and fuel cans on one side while keeping the other open for oversized cargo, pipe, or tools. It comes with 6 uprights, 4 side braces, 3 top crossbars, and 4 top support braces.

Our XTR3 racks are made from the strongest, lightest, and most modular materials on the market — without sacrificing any features. Unlike traditional sheet-metal and tube-steel bed racks, the XTR3 is built from solid aluminum extrusion, which keeps it lightweight while making it dramatically stronger and more rigid — and it won't rust like steel. Best of all, there's a T-slot channel on every linear surface — the same channel our MOLLE panels bolt straight onto — giving you near-infinite mounting points to attach gear anywhere along the rack, then reconfigure it in minutes as your needs change. Our preconfigured builds come in our most popular sizes — low, mid, full, and soft-top height — so you can get a mission-ready rack system equally at home on an overland adventure or a commercial jobsite.

Bed Bracket — Wide Width, Universal Fit

Every XTR3 Build ships on our Wide Width bracket — the most universal mount we make. It adds 1.65" of clearance to clear most soft and roll-up tonneau covers, and it takes the guesswork out of fitment for the vast majority of setups. (Tri-fold covers are compatible, but cannot open fully due to the geometry of the rack.)

Please note: The Wide Width bracket included with these pre-selected Builds works with most tonneau covers. The exceptions are covers with built-in T-slot rail systems, such as the Retrax XR, Roll-n-Lock XT Series, and Pace Edwards UltraGroove. If your truck runs one of those, we have a dedicated Build for it:

• Retrax XR cover? Order the XTR3 Retrax XR Build for the Ram HD Tapered Bed →
• Soft topper? Order the XTR3 Soft Topper Build for the Ram HD →
• Another built-in T-slot cover? Email support@xtrusiondesigns.com and we'll confirm the right fit.

Running a soft topper? Our soft-topper-compatible XTR3 Build is configured with components set at different angles to provide better clearance around the fabric of your soft topper, so the rack sits clean without binding or rubbing the material. If a soft topper is part of your setup, order that Build instead of this one.
