Question:
I have a Chevy Silverado 3500 High Country. I am looking for a ladder rack/tonneau cover combination that will work together. Can you give me an option or two? I would like the ladder rack to be as sturdy as possible 1000 lbs and I am ok with either a soft, rollable cover or one that flips hard or soft. Thank you.

Hey Tom! The best folding tonneau cover for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 is going to be the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover item # BAK226133 for a 6-3/4' bed or item # BAK84FR if you have a 8' bed. Aside from being the best fit for a ladder rack, the BAKFlip G2 is pretty easy to use. It opens with the simple pull of a release cord near the tailgate, is made completely of aluminum so it will never rust, and sits flush with your bed rails for the most streamlined look you can get in a tonneau cover.
Then for the ladder rack, I recommend a stake pocket mounted ladder rack like the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH94RE for a 6-3/4' bed or item # TH43002XT-780 for the 8'. The bases of these ladder racks sit on top of the bedrails, making them compatible with a tonneau cover
The Thule racks have a 1,250 lbs capacity and can slide up and down the sides of your bed rails allowing you to open the cover. If you need extra support we also have the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # item # TH44RE for 6-3/4' or item # TH43002XT-780EX for 8'. These come with a cantilever that extends over the cab of your Silverado.
Please note that if you want a roll up tonneau cover, hard or soft, you need to get a sliding ladder rack that can move back towards your cab to open the panels. If this is a deal breaker, I recommend going with the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover item # BAK22VR - 6-3/4" bed or item # BAK54ZR - 8' bed.
