Ladder Rack Recommendation for Carrying Kayaks on a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 6-1/2 Bed
Question:
What would work best for 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 6.5 bed, for carrying kayaks 17ft, #EM07705? Has a removable rollup tonneau cover now.

Expert Reply:
If you're wanting to use kayak cradles then the Erickson # EM07705 is my recommendation because it comes with standard aero-style crossbars that allow you to mount pretty much any carrier on. Should this be the route you want to take, the Yakima SweetRoll # Y04074 is a great carrier that uses saddles to hold your kayak and has rollers at the back to make loading easier.
Attached are some review videos that you can check out. Please note that you'll need to be able to completely remove your tonneau cover and any rails for it off of your pickup to install either ladder rack.
