The best ladder rack for your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 6-3/4' standard bed is easily the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack. There is even an option to get the rack with a cantilever that goes up and over your Chevy's cab to carry particularly long cargo; the correct fits for your truck are the following:

- Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH94RE

- Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH44RE

The TracRac is the best for your Chevy because it is the strongest, most durable, and quietest ladder rack that . It has a 1,250 lb capacity, which is more than any other rack, is made of aluminum to prevent corrosion (other racks are steel so they will rust), and has aerodynamic bars to prevent annoying whistling like you'll get with other racks.

And the fact you can slide the crossbars of this rack means you can customize its width to best suit the gear you need to haul, and it even comes with load stops that slide along the crossbars to snugly grasp your cargo.
