I'm new here, just ordered a 2014 Denali 1500 Crew Cab. Looking for advice on a good weatherproof tonneau cover, preferably a soft roll up.I have a retractable one on my Silverado LT but it takes up room in the box. Hoping to find one that I can throw my luggage in the back on my trips to Florida and everything will keep dry in the rain. Also want something that can't be easily broken into.

 

Thanks,

Gary

 

P.S.

 

Pretty cool site you guys have here reminds me of LS1.COM when I bought my SS Camaro. Did some great group purchases there.

This thread was really helpful to me in deciding which cover to get....and I wanted to post back once I got my Revolver X2 installed.   It is everything I hoped it would be....just perfect !   No

I had a soft tonneau cover on mine, came with the truck when I got it. I was a pain in the neck to take on and off. I got sick and tired of that and just picked up a really nice tool box instead. Much

I had an Access tonneau cover on my 2008 Silverado and it always kept everything dry and clean. I will probably go the same route for me new truck as well, unless something there's something new that really has something new to add (no clue what that would be though).

Much much better! A lot of room for all my stuff, locks, and I still have my bed open for hauling stuff. Win win situation in my opinion.

I have an Access soft cover on my 2006. It works good. But if I was worried about security I'd go with a hard cover. Anyone with a pocket knife can open a soft cover.

I just got the bakflip vp. Looks like soft cover but it's a hard trifold. Very water tight. Locks down well.

 

It's also easy to take off. FWIW

I have an access roll up and it works great for my needs. I bought one in 2006 and used it until buying this truck and it was still in excellent shape. The tonneau material, weather stripping and single release for both sides are improved from 2006.

Is access the brand name? Also can you please help me with something? I just read that there are no AC or Heat ducts to the back of the Crew Cab Denali I ordered. You have a 2014 Denali Correct? I ordered black and have a huge concern because I drive to Florida 2 or 3 times a year, worried about whoever is in the back will bake.

 

Some also told me the only heat or cooling comes when the heated or cooling seats are on, is this true? I can't test it at my dealer because it's only in the 20's here in Pa.

 

Thank you very much,

Gary

If you want weather-proof, roll-up, and secure, then you should look at the Roll-X made by BAK. It's exactly all of those three things :). It's at the top of my list (awaiting delivery of my '14 Silvy!) and the other contender is the Bak-Flip VP (same vinyl appearance as the Roll-X, except a tri-fold design instead of roll-up).

 

In either case, they're designed to be secure (as secure can be), and from everything I've read, do very well at keeping water out.

I have the Extang Trifecta Signature Series. It takes about 2 minutes to remove the entire thing and about 5 minutes to put it back all by myself. It stays dry under there too.

I have the Truxedo low pro qt as well. Real nice low profile cover. Easy to put on and take off. Snaps into place and is released by one handle on the back drivers side. Also has two spring loaded tensioners on the front that can be adjusted for tightness. The Velcro on each side slides with the tensioners, which is very good in my opinion. Best of all it has a life time warranty on everything as long as it is bought new and not second hand. Oh and you can also put box rails on the bed if you choose with this cover as well. Works and looks good on my 14 gmc sierra slt z71.

I installed the Undercover Flex today on my truck. I like the looks and the fit and it only took about 30 minutes to install. It was $665.00 shipped as I mentioned others got it for that price, and they honored it. My old cover on my previous truck was aluminum, and I wanted something that might hold up better in hail. No idea how bad it leaks yet, but from the looks it shouldn't be bad.

Now I am waiting on the Bedrug (Chevy logo one) to be delivered, so it can be installed. Than the bed should be done...

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
