Question:
I have a 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 standard bed 79.4 with a trifold tonneau cover. I want to use a bed rack. Is there any thing that is compatible?

Expert Reply:
Hey Dana congrats on the new truck. What brand and model is your trifold tonneau cover? Does it have t-slots along the sides of it? Does it leave the stake pockets open on the topsides of your bedrails?
You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
Tonneau covers severely limit the options for what ladder racks you can use so I need that information to see if there's a compatible one that fits your truck.
I can confidently say the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH27000XTB you were looking at won't work with a tonneau cover. The uprights mount in the same place as tonneau cover side rails.
If your cover has t-slots you can use the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Tonneau Cover Adapters item # Y01151-5855.
If your truck's stake pockets are exposed you should be able to use the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A4003497 but I'll need to know what tonneau cover you have to confirm.

The tonneau cover has no T-slots. The stake pockets are open. I would prefer a shorter tonneau cover that does not go about the cab.
