Ladder Rack for Carrying Kayaks On GMC 2500
Updated 06/02/2026 | Published 05/27/2026
Question:
Hello. I have a GMC 2500hd with a Leer folding tonneau cover. I want to purchase a bed rack to carry kayaks but I don’t want to lose my tonneau cover. My tonneau cover does not have T tracks so I’m looking for a bed rack that can slip in below the tonneau cover. Do you have any suggestions? I really like Thule tracks but they do not seem like they would integrate with my tonneau cover. Thanks

Hi Ashley! You're right, the Thule rack will not work with the tonneau cover. Since you don't have T-slot rails on there I recommend the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A36HG. This works with tonneau covers that mount inside the bed rails like the Leer, and has a 500 lb capacity to handle your kayaks.
