Question:

I got the BAK Revolver X4s put on my 2021 Sierra 1500 5-3/4 foot bed about 6 months ago and love it, but I want to get a ladder rack installed with it now. Hoping I can. What do you guys have that will work?

We definitely have options for adding a ladder rack to your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5-3/4 foot bed and the BAK Revolver X4s # BAK62VR installed. This cover, which I also really like, sits inside the bed rails and as it rolls up instead of folding, makes getting a ladder rack to fit with it a lot easier.

For said rack, the Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-782 will be the most heavy duty option we have that will fit and is rated to carry up to 1,250 pounds. One of the really cool features with this is that it can slide fore and aft once installed. This means you can set it to the perfect length between the bars to make it nice and easy for loading. This is American made and comes highly recommended. The only downside is that it is on the expensive side.

If you do not need this kind of capacity and prefer something more economical, check out the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A34PM. This is also American made, but will have a max carrying capacity of 500 pounds and will be in fixed positions once installed. It is quite a bit less expensive though, and will still be a very good choice. Plus the matte black finish will match the # BAK62VR cover pretty nicely as well.
