Why Choose the Sherpa Diablo Roof Rack for Your Ram 3500?
The Sherpa Diablo is a full-length, no-compromise aluminum roof rack engineered specifically for 2019+ Ram 3500 Crew Cab and Mega Cab trucks. Precision laser-cut 1/4" 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum side panels anchor a modular crossbar system that can carry 300 lbs. dynamic and 700 lbs. static — more than enough for rooftop tents, recovery gear, spare fuel, traction boards, awnings, and expedition cargo. The rack mounts directly through the cab using Sherpa's billet rivet adapter system, creating a direct load path from the crossbars to the truck body for maximum strength. Every Diablo is manufactured in Colorado and backed by a Lifetime Warranty. Browse the full Sherpa collection or explore more Sherpa roof racks.
Key Features
🛡️
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
Precision laser-cut 1/4" 6061 aluminum side panels deliver exceptional strength without the weight penalty of steel. Black textured powder coat finish resists corrosion and scratching.
💪
300 / 700 lb. Load Rating
Rated for 300 lbs. dynamic and 700 lbs. static — easily handles rooftop tents, awnings, recovery gear, spare tires, and full expedition loads.
🔩
Direct Load Path Mounting
Billet rivet adapters with rubber seals create a watertight, direct load path from crossbar to cab. The rack can be bolted and unbolted without disturbing the roof hardware.
🧩
Modular Accessory-Ready Design
Slotted side panels, adaptable crossbars, integrated tie-down points, and built-in hand holds accept light bars, scene lights, awnings, and more.
Built for the Ram 3500
Ram 3500 is the go-to HD truck for serious towing — single-rear-wheel and dually configurations move fifth-wheels, gooseneck trailers, and oversized loads. With the bed often occupied by a fifth-wheel hitch or goose-neck setup, the Diablo opens the roof as legitimate storage real estate.
The Ram 3500 is engineered for maximum towing, long-haul work, and serious payload. The Diablo is engineered specifically for the fifth-generation Ram platform (2019-2023 for this listing, with Sherpa extending fitment through 2026 on current production). Choose the Crew Cab version (64" × 55.5" × 2.5", 6 crossbars) or the Mega Cab version (74.5" × 55.5" × 2.5", 7 crossbars) — and pick Clearance Lights (cutouts for OEM cab marker lights) or No Clearance Lights (smooth) to match your truck.
The Full Fairing option provides a smooth face to deflect more air and reduce wind noise; the Half Fairing is shorter to accommodate a light bar mounted behind it. Every Diablo is built in Colorado by Sherpa Equipment Company. Browse more options in the Sherpa roof racks collection.

Fifth-Wheel & Gooseneck Hauling
Ideal for 3500 owners running fifth-wheel hitches, gooseneck trailers, truck campers, or dually configurations — get critical storage back when the bed is occupied.
Work & Commercial Upfits
Lifetime-warranted aluminum construction and commercial-grade mounts stand up to daily job-site use — ladders, pipe, conduit, and cargo.
Scene Lighting & Light Bars
Slotted panels and adaptable mounts accept Sherpa handle light brackets, off-road light bars, and accessory scene lights.

- (1) Wind fairing with edge trim (Full or Half; Clearance Lights or No Clearance Lights per selection)

Installation
Difficulty
Advanced — drilling required
Time
4-6 hours (DIY) or 2-3 hours (pro shop)
Tools Needed
Rivet tool, 3/16" drill bit, torque wrench, basic hand tools
The Diablo requires drilling the cab roof with eight 3/16" holes and installing billet rivet adapters — this creates the permanent mount points. Once the adapters are in place, the rack itself bolts on and off without disturbing the roof hardware. Rubber seals between each mount and the cab provide a watertight seal. Professional installation is strongly recommended unless you're comfortable drilling your truck's cab.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Diablo require drilling my Ram 3500?
Yes. Installation requires drilling eight 3/16" holes in the cab roof to install billet rivet adapters. Once the adapters are installed, the rack itself can be bolted on and off without disturbing the roof hardware. Rubber seals create a watertight mount. Professional installation is recommended.
Will this fit my Crew Cab or Mega Cab?
The Diablo is offered in both Crew Cab (64" × 55.5" × 2.5", 6 crossbars) and Mega Cab (74.5" × 55.5" × 2.5", 7 crossbars) configurations. Select the correct cab length when ordering.
What is the load capacity?
The Diablo is rated for 300 lbs dynamic (while the truck is moving) and 700 lbs static (parked). This is sufficient for rooftop tents, awnings, spare tires, recovery gear, and most expedition loads.
What's the difference between Clearance Lights and No Clearance Lights?
Clearance Lights versions have cutouts in the fairing for your truck's OEM cab marker lights to remain visible. No Clearance Lights versions have a smooth, uninterrupted fairing face. Choose the option that matches your truck's configuration.
Full Fairing or Half Fairing — which should I pick?
Full Fairing provides a smooth face that deflects more air and reduces wind noise. Half Fairing is shorter to accommodate a light bar mounted behind it. If you plan to run a front-facing light bar on the rack, choose Half Fairing.
What is the warranty and lead time?
Every Sherpa Diablo is backed by a Lifetime Warranty. Because each rack is built to order in Colorado, current lead time is up to 4 weeks.
Will the fairing affect my radio?
The fairing is designed to avoid cab-mounted lights and antennas, but it may interfere with XM satellite radio reception in some vehicles. AM/FM reception is typically unaffected.
