The Thule WingBar Edge Roof Rack, parts # TH93RE and # TH69SC, will be a great option for your 2015 Toyota 4Runner Trail with the roof rails. It has a low profile, is a pretty simple installation, and you can add locks with the Thule One-Key System # TH450400. The aerodynamic design helps to cut down on wind noise and drag so you will be happy with the results of this system.

For a fairing I recommend the 32" Long AirScreen XT # TH62WV which will give you good coverage for even more wind noise reduction.

There will also be enough room for you to mount the Yakima TopWater # Y04088 plus you can use the SmarT-Slot Mounting Kit # Y04094 if you prefer to go that route.

I've attached some videos for you to check out.

Yes, I have listed for your below the roof rack systems from Rhino-Rack, Thule, and Yakima that will fit the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Covers like part #RTT-80243 for your 2019 Ram 1500. Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System part #RRVA180B-RRRLT600…

Because the Retrax PRO MX Tonneau Cover #RT80467 for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 covers the bed rails, you would not be able to use a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac #TH27000XT since that rack requires the use of the bed rails. The only tonneau…

Hey Chris, Because the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack #TH27000XTB clamps to the lip of the bedrails it won't be compatible with any tonneau cover. You would need Thule's stake pocket mounted version the TracRac SR #TH43002XT-508…
