Hi Guys, Looking for some advice and feedback on tonneau covers. I am looking at Access roll-up covers with the inner track so that my bed rail stays accessible. The Lorado model looks nice, but is expensive. They also offer a Vanish and a TonnoSport version which appear to be about the same thing just cheaper versions. Any input would be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Truxedo lo pro! I had one on my 2006 silverado and I now have one on my 2011. They hold up to snow (I live in MA) and the sun. Highly recommended. I bought mine and had it installed for 400. This was less than what I could but it for online.

I recently got a Foldacover G4 Elite. Really happy with it. Sturdy and high quality, secure. Would be nice if it would fold all the way up like the bakflip, but you can open the bakflip with a coat hanger in about seven seconds, so not exactly secure.

Truxedo, HIGHLY Recommend them. My story…. bought one for my new 2005 truck. One year ago, I noticed some stitching coming out down at the end. One phone call later, using their 1-800 number clearly displayed on the emblem, and a brand new cover (vinyl only) at my door in a week or so. Mind you, my cover is a custom because of the tool box. Now that’s what I call CUSTER SERVICE.

Go with the access cover, I put one on my 04 a few years back and it has served me well. The fit is excellent and when installed properly the cover stays tight, with minimal movement at highway speeds. I can only say good things about mine, the hardware and materials are excellent quality. Keep it clean and put a UV treatment on once a year and it will last the life of the truck.

Tesnoboy,

 

I just noticed you are in MA. Unfortunately I am also. This liberal state makes me sick, lol. Anyway, I bought my Truxedo from the Line-x dealer in Nashua, NH. Like I said it was $400.00 installed. No sales tax :-) I live in Westford so it's not far from NH (Not sure where you are in MA) Anyway, look online and see what the best price you can get Truxedo for. I searched all over and couldn't even buy it for this price and again it was installed for $400.00.

I bought my first cover ever for my 09, I went with the Truxedo Lo Pro Qt. I have no complaints. If you do some searching on this site you can find out how to get it for less than $400 delivered ;)

For a soft cover, the Access Lorado model is the one to get. Lifetime warranty on frame and vinyl. Don't get the the other Access models (like Vanish) because the design is not as good.

Yes, it is unfortunate that the Cradle of Liberty has turned Socialist/Communist. Thanks for your reply.

I had a bakflip a few years ago. It had cheap plastic deadlatches. Other than that it was a nice cover. My next cover was a fold-a-cover. It was much more secure than the bakflip. Still have it.

Fold a Cover G4 Elite here. I love it, but it leaks a bit during heavy rain. It also doesn't leave the bed rails uncovered for other things.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!! RIP - Chevy 5.3 IMG_6043.mov

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We’ll have to agree to disagree. I didn’t experience or know anyone who had a decent car after 100K miles in the 60s through the 80s that were daily commuter vehicles. Unless they were collector vehicles. Of course things cost more due to inflation. But we also make more money. The biggest money drains these days are things people think they need today versus what we require back in the day. Like cell phones and internet as examples. Another example is where you live. Cost of living varies from state to state. I would need twice the money to live in NJ vs Texas in retirement. The car you recently purchased was less than my first car with inflation at 3000$ in 1973. I didn’t have air, electric windows, cruise etc. Purchasing power is equivalent, you just have to do the research.
