Hey guys. I bought the Tonno Pro Hard Fold cover last week for $500 shipped via Fedex to my front door for $500. It gives you the quality of a true hard cover without losing the look of the sleek vinyl cover. It took me about 5 minutes to install. It's pouring down rain here in NC today and my bed is nice and dry. The cover could not fit any better. It's a tri-fold cover that has an aluminum base to give it 350 lbs of support covered in marine grade vinyl that has a 10 year warranty. The structure has a lifetime warranty.

 

I looked around at many hard and soft covers. This cover gives me the best of both worlds for $500. That works perfect for me. They're are two licensed sellers on ebay that advertise them for $529 but they accept offers. If you offer $500, they will accept. You can't beat this cover for that price. Well worth the money.

 

Thanks.

 

Here are some pics of the the Tonno Pro Hard Fold cover if anyone is interested. Sorry for the Ford truck picture but it was a really good picture of the cover.

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 bought the one from the dealer says GMC on it tri fold hard with vinyl cover. No leaks, works good. He said it was the best made. He said it must be true, like the internet. 800 dollars, lifetime installed

Great thread. I had a Flex on my 2013 I really liked. Looking for another for my 2014 but I have different requirements now. Priority is light weight. 2nd is flush fit.

 

Just about every bed cover discussion on the internet pretty much mirrors this one. Can someone point me in a different direction?

Received and installed my roll X today. Happy and pleased. Total cost to the door $570. Good deal.

 

That is a smoking deal, most of the prices I saw for Roll-X when I was looking was 700-825 which is one of the reasons I went with the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite over the Roll-X. Had I seen that price on a new Roll-X I may have bought that one instead.....but oh well, I'm happy with mine and you're happy with yours so thats what matters!

Diamondback SE with LineX

 

I really love these covers. I had one on my H3T and liked it enough to get one for my '14 Silverado. You don't see very many of these since the company is small and most of the covers are made to order (handmade in the USA!). There is a thick rubber seal which does a good job of keeping the water out - only a few drops from heavy rain or pressure washer. Mine is the SE which holds 400 lbs on top. The HD holds 1600 lbs I believe. You can get a kit that adds some rails and has some ramps so you can carry ATV's on top. Both the front and rear panels open so you have full bed access. If you have a load on top of the cover, you can still access the bed. Panel removal is a one-man operation - no tools needed. You can also fold the panel all the way over and strap it down. I believe I paid $1300. If you like the look of polished aluminum diamon-tread, it's $200-300 cheaper without the LineX. I know it costs more than a soft cover, but it does lock and keep your stuff safe & dry. Considering the cost of a fiberglass cover is about the same but less functional, this is definitely a good investment. Check out diamonbacktruckcovers.com. They have other configuations and more affordable covers if you arent concerned about hauling on top.

Undercover Flex - You had a bad experience, but a lot of people have them and they seem to be pretty good otherwise. Undercover copied Bak, but Undercover improved the cover.

 

Undercover Classic, SE, and LUX: You can't beat them as far as waterproofing. All covers COVER the rails and tailgate and there is a large overhanging seal at the front. The bulb seal underneath the cover is a large two-bulb seal.

 

Fold-A-Cover (and Advance Cover) - If the installation includes hardware that installs inside the stake pockets, then you're OK. If it does not, do NOT buy the cover. If you get one, get the G4 Elite. Generally, it's an OK cover, but the seals that cover the piano hinges can break after a few years. The seals are replaceable though. Advance Cover is basically the same, company owners are cousins.

 

If you like a folding cover with locks, take a look at the Extang Encore. It offers more utility than the Fold-A-Cover. NOTE: There was a recall on the Encore. If you buy one, make sure it's the newest model which is NOT part of the recall. The new model will have a tether attached to the front panel.

Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite. The jury is still out as to whether it was worth $800. I like that it locks and opens front and back, but I don't like how the weather strip for the tailgate has to fill a large gap between the cover and the tailgate.

 

Also, when the cover is closed, the end pieces and the middle hinge stick up above the rails.

Stay away from the BAK. I had 3 of them in 6 years on my previous Tacoma. They don't hold up well over time, and BAK has crappy customer service. There are many unhappy BAK customers who bought a couple of years ago. I love the design of BAK, but they use substandard materials and charge a premium. The Undercover is a better quality product and competes directly with the Bak F1. I've only heard on person (imcrazy), here and on TacomaWorld who ever had an issue with the Undercover Flex. Many people will say the BAk is great, the question is how long have they owned the cover?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
