Question:
Is there a bike rack that works with a bed cover for a 2015 sierra 1500 5-8inch bed? What cover and what rack?

Expert Reply:
We do offer both truck bed bike racks and tonneau covers for your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500. Certain combinations of bike racks and covers will not be compatible with each other but certainly there will be combinations of a tonneau and a truck-bed rack that will work well together.
If you have a hitch on your Sierra this can give you both high bike carrying capacity via a hitch-mount rack AND avoid any interference with a fully-closed tonneau cover. We offer Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # C13175 that would be an excellent match for a 2-inch hitch-mount bike carrier like the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR or one of the other Class III racks shown on the linked page.
For reference I have linked you to our main page for truck bed bike racks and to tonneau covers for your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5-foot 8-inch bed. Just click on your vehicle style (with or without CMS - cargo management system) to see suitable covers.
If you have the CMS you could use roll-up tonneau cover # TX271801 from TruXedo along with the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack for Truck Beds # S64701.
Please feel free to let me know your bed length/configuration and how many bikes you need to transport.
