Question:

Do they offer this with Explorer rails to fit a 2022 Sierra 3500HD Crew Cab, diesel with the 8-foot bed and single rear wheels?

Expert Reply:

I have a great alternative for you. I finally received an answer from my tech at Pace-Edwards. They said that they do not offer Explorer rails for the Full-Metal JackRabbit # PE82CV for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8-foot bed.

However, with that being said, we do offer a system that is similar to the Explorer rails. That is the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Accessory T-Slots # RTT-80485. Like the Explorer rails on the JackRabbit, the RetraxPRO XR comes with Trax rails that allows you to mount ladder racks or crossbars. This cover is compatible if you have a MultiPro tailgate, but it is not compatible if you have the Bedside Storage box installed.

If you are looking for a great compatible ladder rack, I highly recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover - 60" Crossbars # Y01151-5755. The # Y01151-5755 already comes with all the adapters you need to use it with the Trax rails on the RetraxPRO XR. With the rack, you have the option to add adjustable load stops # Y01161 that have tie-down points to hold your cargo in place. For great straps, those are the # Y01165.
