The Tonneau Cover that's a confirmed fit for your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5-3/4 foot bed is # RTT-80481. The Yakima Overhaul HD that works with this is # Y01151 paired with the Tonneau Cover Adapter # Y01155 and the 78" HD Bar Crossbars # Y01159.

As for the Thule Hullavator # TH898, with your 78" of bar space, you have plenty of bar space and some overhang for this kayak carrier. Just note that the ladder rack has 300 lbs weight capacity on-road and 180 lbs off-road. Since the Hullavator itself weighs almost 40 lbs, that's something to keep in mind in terms of your kayak weight or if you're going off-roading.

All in all, I'm a fan of the Yakima Overhaul. I love how it's adjustable in height as well as how easy it is to install. I wasn't able to install this onto a tonneau cover, but I do have a video installing it onto a track system that might help you out when you install the actual bars and towers. Just replace the track mounts with the Trax Rail mounts # Y01155 and you're good to go!

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…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Yes you are - all 5th wheel hitches are going to require some type of rails in order to be used. So you'd need #DM8552016-71 for your 2006 Dodge Ram.
