Recommend Hard Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack for a 2022 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss w/ 5 3/4 Bed

Question:

2022 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss 5 3/4 bed with blackout kit. Really like the Trackrac but want a black ladder rack. Any option from Thule? If they don’t, does the Truxedo Elevate have same T slot size as Thule? Can I cross accessories? Does Yakima offer a slide system? Also want a heavy duty lockable Tonneau cover, what do you recommend? This is a truck for Project Manager for residential construction company. Lots of questions.

Yakima does not offer a sliding system.

The best cover for your 5-3/4' bed 2022 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss is going to be the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover item # RTX24YR.
