  • Which Ladder Rack Should I Use On My 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 With Tonneau Cover?
  • You are correct; you will need to install a ladder rack that installs on top of the truck bed rails, not inside the truck bed rails as this would not work with tonneau covers. Just make sure that you have a tonneau cover that is mounted inside the bed rails so that the ladder rack can install properly. An over the cab rack that I recommend for your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 is the Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH27000XT-EX. This would be compatible with a roll-up or retractable...

  • 5th Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with MagneRide
  • For your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with the MagneRide suspension we have the B and W Custom Fifth Wheel Rail Kit part # BWRVK2503 as a confirmed fit that would work great but you will have to contact them prior to purchasing the rail kit as there are some versions of the truck that require additional bracketry. It's our only option but it's also a really great option so it's the way to go for sure. I recommend using the Reese M5 series Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 because it has a hitch...

This tuner will have a power level for towing as well as for daily driving, performance, and extreme. It attaches via your OBDII port, so you will not have to do any wiring during installation.

  • Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 6-1/2 foot Bed with BakFlip Tonneau
  • The BakFlip covers install between the bed rails of the truck so a ladder rack like the TracRac SR part # TH43002XT-781EX would work in your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed. This rack attaches to the stake pockets of the bed rails so it would easily fit with the BakFlip. This rack # TH43002XT-781EX is also the correct rack for your truck as well. The last panel may not fold up all the way though as it might hit the uprights.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2021 GMC 1500 AT4
  • I would recommend air bags over the other options for pulling your travel trailer with your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. There are two different options here. Typically with air bags, Firestone is the way to go. They have the best construction and are going to be the most reliable. You would need the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2609. Since you have the AT4 you would also need the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2366 for installation. The...

The mirrors also give you the cleanest look of the extensions available for your truck and will provide you with both the driver side mirror and passenger side mirror.

  • How to Tow a Fifth Wheel Trailer with a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 5-1/2 ft Bed
  • You can tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed. First you will need a rail installation kit. For that you will want the Reese Fifth Whee Installation Kit part # RP50064-58. This is a custom install rail kit that will install in about half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling. Since your bed is so short you will need a hitch with a Sidewinder to be able to make 90 degree turns. For a hitch I would recommend the Reese Fifth Wheel...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 6 1/2 foot bed
  • Since your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 has a 6-1/2 foot bed you would need a slider hitch to allow you to make tight turns without cab interference. If you only are going to tow the trailer 20 miles and there won't be any tight turns or reversing needed you could get by with a stationary hitch if you were extremely careful. But if you plan to tow regularly you are going to have to have a slider hitch. An extremely popular economical option is the Reese Hitch part # RP30051. Most likely the hitch...

  • Will Thule Kayak Carriers fit On Adarac Access Ladder Rack Crossbars
  • The square crossbars of the Adarac Access Ladder Racks like the part # A90190 are the same dimensions as the Thule crossbars as they are 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch. We don't carry a K-Guard as that's a South African Thule product but the Thule carriers we do carry will fit these bars. Probably the most similar setup we offer would be the Thule DockGlide part # TH896 which does fit square bars as well.
