Expert Reply:
Hey Jeffery, for your 1997 Chevy Colorado I suggest going with the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-60453. This cover is retractable, is matte black in color, and has integrated side rails with t-slots so you can use a ladder rack like the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Tonneau Cover Adapters # Y01151-5855.
Those t-slots are also compatible with Thule, Rhino Rack, and most brands that use a standard t-slot opening.
If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
