The best tonneau cover/roof rack combination that we have to offer for your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with an 8 foot bed is the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39122 with the TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-780.

The Revolver X2 is one of my favorite tonneau covers to recommend because it combines the sleek look of a roll up cover with the strength and durability of a hard cover. The strength comes from 1/4" thick aluminum slats which are rustproof and can support up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight. This is an easy, no-drill installation that secures your truck bed and only can only be opened if your tailgate is first opened. The 3-year warranty coupled with the USA made design makes this cover a best seller.

Since the X2 leaves the stake pockets open on your Sierra 1500 you will then be able to mount a ladder rack. The TracRac SR not only offers the convenience of sliding for quick adjustability, but it also has a massive weight capacity of 1,250 lbs which makes it much more versatile than other ladder rack options. This rack is made of aluminum so, offers a no-drill installation, a limited lifetime warranty, and is also made in the USA.

I have attached a video of the Revolver X2 being installed on a 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 and a review video of the TracRac SR for you to check out.
