Ladder Rack and Compatible Tonneau Cover for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500

Question:

I have a 2015 2500hd crew cab with an eight foot bed. Will this ladder rack work with the roll up tonneau covers from Access?

In order to use a ladder rack and a Tonneau cover at the same time, you'll need to use a ladder rack that mounts to the top of the bed side, rather than clamping to the inside of the bedside. You'll need to go with a Tonneau that mounts to the inside of the top of the bed side, rather than sitting on top of the bed side.

For a ladder rack, the TracRac # TH43002XT-780 is the only ladder rack we offer that would leave the inside of the bed rail free to mount a Tonneau cover. For a Tonneau cover the Access Vanish, part # A92339 would be an excellent choice that would leave the top surfaces of the bed sides completely free for the TracRac ladder rack.

The Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack you mentioned, part # EM07707 wouldn't be compatible with a Tonneau cover because the mounting brackets bolt into the inside of the bed side top rails, which would interfere with the Tonneau cover.
