The Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover- Folding - Aluminum - Matte Black # AB1010019 is not compatible with a Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack as it slightly overlaps the bed rails. For a compatible cover I recommend the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl # BAK39309 which is the best option for compatibility with the sliding ladder rack. These two parts work perfectly together because of the inside bed rails and rolling function that don't meet the bed rails.

The BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum # BAK26309 will work but will require adjusting the sliding uprights of the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-508 when you want to fold the cover because the uprights angle in.

Both of these tonneau covers are also compatible with the BAKBox 2 Collapsible Truck Bed Toolbox # BAK92301 if you want additional storage at times.

Because the Retrax PRO MX Tonneau Cover #RT80467 for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 covers the bed rails, you would not be able to use a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac #TH27000XT since that rack requires the use of the bed rails. The only tonneau…
