  1. Diesels are 50% of the market in Europe and have been for years. Those cars must be subject to all types of driving styles. Short commutes and idling must not be an issue for them, although in my experience Europeans are less likely to waste fuel idling for heating or AC reasons. But, what do I know as I occasionally put 87 or 89 octane in my 6.2L when I'm feeling cheap. I figure a little engine knock will be like white noise to help hide the clunky transmission.
  2. Thanks! Next bed cover purchase will be my second. When I noticed the 5 year warranties, I inquired about my existing Bakflip. The middle rail fell off a couple weeks ago. I got excited as I am at 4 years and 11 months. They tell me the warranty when I bought was only 3 years. Good thing its on the unit I'm getting rid of. I may pay or find a workaround to fix as cover is still functional. Better yet, I'll get a favorable trade-in and let the dealer handle it. The Bak low profile products do look good.
  3. I am wrestling with dealers right now to buy a 2021, so comments are still relevant. I'll probably go with Laura GMC, but they sold the specific vehicle I was after before I could put my hands on it. Thanks for this info. The roll-up is very tempting as the folding is hard for my wife and kids to use. Need to think about times I've used it partially open. I also had thought about the Bak box, but that could be useful. Thanks!
  4. I see lots of posts on this topic, but didn't find two questions. (1) How do the rolling covers do in the winter with snow? Any better or worse than hard folding, which require clearing off snow/ice to fold and seals can freeze to bed frame. (2) I have a hard folding Bakflip F1 today. I do like that if I have cargo above bed rail, like leaves or other yard waste, I can lay the folding panels over the cargo and the weight of cover helps hold in. Otherwise, I can drive truck with 1, 2, or 3 panels open. Can you drive highway speeds with rolling cover partially open at various positions? (3) Any better/worse water proofing than the folding backflip, which lets water in the corners?
  5. I'll second this recommendation. Put them on my 2016 Sierra Denali. So much better than stock tires and they look good as well. I've put 7k miles on these in rain, winter, towing, some off road and couldn't be happier.
