Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 GMC Sierra with Tonneau Cover
Updated 01/04/2016 | Published 01/02/2016
Question:
Will the UG2500 work with the tonneau covrr on my Sierra 1500? Also is the clamp big enough to work with my Trek Superfly 9.6 mountain bike?

Expert Reply:
The rails for a tonneau cover extend too far out for the brackets on the Topline UG2500, to safely attach. We had one customer try this with a tonneau cover and was able to make it work, but I can't safely guarantee that it would work for you as well.
What I recommend that will not require any drilling into the bed or modification is the Thule Insta-Gator Pro # TH93VR. This rack secures by anchors that mount in the tail gate hinge. Take a look at the video and instructions I have linked.
