We can get your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-3/4 foot bed set up with a great tonneau cover and ladder rack combo, and let's go ahead and start with the tonneau cover. The best option that fits your '21 Silverado 2500 is from Pace Edwards:

- Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE68CV

I love this cover because it is a retractable cover which makes it super easy to use, it installs easily and doesn't require any drilling or other modifications to your Chevy, has beefier interior and exterior seals than other options to help ensure your bed stays dry, and sits just above your bed rails to ensure your Silverado maintains an extremely clean look. It also has T-slots in the rails which are what will allow you to install a ladder rack.

And for the ladder rack the best option - which will fit directly in the UltraGroove's rails - is the Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack, which you can get with either 68" or 78" crossbars:

- 68" Crossbars: Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover # Y01151-5855

- 78" Crossbars: Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover # Y01151-5955

This is the best rack system for your Tundra because it is height-adjustable so you are more easily able to carry a wider variety of cargo, has a robust 300 lb capacity, has channels in the bars to mount accessories, and comes with locks to secure the uprights to your truck.

The OverHaul HD does have built-in tie-down points on the uprights, as well as at the end caps of the crossbars, you you can also add additional tie-downs such as the Load Stops # Y01161 or Eye Bolts # Y01162.
