Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Combination for 2018 GMC Canyon Crew Cab Long Bed

Expert Reply:

Tonneau covers like your OEM model 84203262 which covers your bed rails and stake pockets prevent using a ladder rack since there are no accessible mounting points to install one.

To add cargo carrying capacity to your Canyon we do have roof racks for the cab. For a quiet aero-style rack for a Crew cab with bare roof we have a great value rack from Rhino-Rack, their black Vortex system made of parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK330. This rack gets you a 165-lb load rating and it costs less than other aero racks. If you prefer a roof rack that looks more like an OEM setup take a look at the ROC25 rack # RR93GR whose shorter bars terminate in the rack feet for a very clean appearance and the same weight rating.

If you ever decide to remove the OEM tonneau cover then you can use one of the compatible combinations of aftermarket ladder rack and tonneau cover. One of the best options is the TracRac SR sliding rack system # TH43002XT-783 (1250-lb capacity) which works great with the BAK Revolver roll-up hard tonneau # BAK92VR. These items work great together since they do not share common mounting points.
