Question:
I have a 2018 GMC 2500 with a 6.6 ft bed using a folding tonneau cover. Im looking for a Yakama rack system that I can use while camping with kayaks. Is the above product the item I should be looking for? If not, what is available from Yakama?

Expert Reply:
The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover - 78" Crossbars # Y01151-5955 is not compatible with a folding tonneau cover. If you have a tonneau that utilizes rails that fit inside your bed and leave the side rails of your bed exposed, then you can use the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs # A46FR or a sliding rack like the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43002XT-781. If you use the TracRac then I recommend using the channel mount # MPG1001 because the bars are so large. If you use the Adarac then you can use whatever kayak carrier you desire like the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 for example.
