To add a roof rack to your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab or Double Cab, you will want the roof rack by Yakima which includes the following parts:

Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - JetStream Aero Crossbars - Black - Qty 2 item # Y99UV

BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 item # Y27FR

BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 item # Y06124

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. I recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204 to prevent theft.

A great perk of Yakima's products is you can buy larger lock core kits 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 and have the roof rack and other Yakima accessories all controlled by the same key.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…
