Recommended Removable Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD
Question:
Looking for a removable ladder rack and tonneau cover combo recommendations?

Expert Reply:
The ladder rack system that is easiest to remove from your truck is the TracRac SR which uses bed rail mount tracks that let you not only quickly remove the uprights but that also let you position the uprights where they best fit your specific cargo. These also have the highest weight rating of any ladder rack we offer, 1250-lbs.
For 6-1/2 foot bed use 2-bar rack # TH43002XT-781 or 3-bar rack # TH43002XT-781EX.
For 8-foot bed use 2-bar rack # TH43002XT-780 or 3-bar rack # TH43002XT-780EX.
For a tonneau cover you'll need one that mounts inside the bed rails so that it does not interfere with the ladder rack. I really like the BAK Revolver covers because they fit perfectly with the SR racks.
For a 6-1/2 foot bed you can use the gloss black X2 cover # BAK39121. For the 8-foot bed you can use the X2 cover # BAK39122. These BAK covers are no-drill installations.
