Question:
Hello I am looking for a kayak rack for my Chevy Silverado 2016. I have a roll-n-lock bed cover and need something that will work with it. It is a crew cab.

Expert Reply:
If the tonneau cover leaves the stake pockets open like the Roll-N-Lock Tonneau Cover you can install certain ladder racks on a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the best option being the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4001218 for 5.5' bed or part # A46FR for 6.5' beds. This ladder rack has integrated channels in the top bars which is important as that is how you need to mount the kayaks because the bars are too think for most wraparound style holders. I recommend the Thule Carrier part # TH849000.
