Hey Luthor! The etrailer Over-The-Cab Ladder Rack item # e78FV attaches to your Silverado with included bolts that clamp the supports to the bed rails. This ladder rack does not require any drilling or a built in rail system like you see with other ladder racks.
The etrailer Ladder Rack item # e78FV has a 1,000 lbs capacity. It has been confirmed to fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths of the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500.
I have linked the installation instructions below so you can see how to get this ladder rack set up.

Hey Luthor, how did the ladder rack setup go on your Silverado? I'm curious if the clamp-on design made the process as simple as expected. Your feedback could help others looking for a no-drill option.
