Looks tight!! How are you liking the bed cover? Been going back and forth on if I want one. I like the look of yours...

Thanks!! I had GMC's tri-fold cover for about two years on my 2014 (which I moved over to this truck before I bought the BakFlip) which leaked and didn't sit flush. The BakFlip VP is a much better cover IMO. Love the look and the functionality, much easier to use. I don't have to go to both sides to unlock it, I can sit on it if I want, it folds up so I have full access to the bed, and it comes with a drain system. It hasn't leaked "yet" with all the rain we have been getting here in Texas.

In some areas yeah, my area was close to your totals, maybe closet to 5.5...

 

Considered painting your tailgate handle?? Then you'd match all the way around? [emoji6]

 

I've been thinking about doing painted handles and caps on mine, love my painted tailgate handle, that black bugged me for some reason lol.

They are frustrating to put on or at least for me. Hard to get started then even harder to slide on with your hands. I finally used a rubber mallet and tapped until they were all the way on.

 

Edit: I thought about taking them off but they were such a pain in the butt to put on. I'm just going to leave them for now.
