I like mine (Retrax Pro) and search around/contemplated many include fiberglass covers. Elected to go with the Pro and purchased it direct from Retrax, managing to negotiate it down to wholesale cost. Took about to hours to install. Easy, Efficient, works great.

The one I am looking on Craigslist is a 'Fold a Cover' G4 Elite Cover & Caddy Bundle | 07-13 GM Silverado/Sierra 5ft 8in bed (GM4924+PC0). For $250, I think I might be able to make it work if the stake pockets are similar.

I think I am going to get the Elite G4 or whatever it's called. I like the idea of it being hard and locking. They want $1200 for it and the caddy I believe.. I wish they were a little cheaper, and somewhere I could buy locally..

Got the retrax pro installed today. Review coming in a week or so.

Now all I need is my exhaust tip (9 weeks and counting).

Had my Retraxpro a couple of weeks and all is great. Car wash twice no leaks and smooth going back and forth.

I'm thinking the Roll-X will be my first mod when my truck comes in...glad to hear some of you have it and like it.

I believe I will be in a new sierra very soon, and was wondering if a 2013 short bed tonneau will fit the 2014 short bed. I currently have a Tonno Pro Lo-Roll Cover. The part numbers online are different, however I was wondering if anyone has any insight without me having to take it off and try fitment. If it doesn't fit, I will most likely just trade it in with the 2013. Thanks in advance!

Meh. We have had many people try to swap here at work. They just don't fit right. The bed rail caps are taller than the previous ones and the rail width is different. The only GM cover I have seen that works to an extent is the soft tri-fold. Trade it with the truck IMO.

Cant speak for that brand however my Bakflip G2 fit from my 2009 to 2014. This type sits on the inside edge of the bed which is apparently the same as the GMT900

I transferred my tri-fold from my 2013 6.5' bed to my 2014 6.5' bed. It fits good side to side but it could stand to be an inch longer (story of my life). It doesn't bother me enough to spend another $300 on a new one as it does its job keeping to bed covered and dry.

my Xtang Revolution soft cover fits on mine and took it off of my 2010 Sierra.

The Retrax Pro is very nice and heavy duty. I didnt know about this one when I got the Retrax (basic model) but I like mine very much. It is about $600 - $800 less. I had Retrax punch out the holes in their rails to match the holes in the truck bed rail. They did this without any additional cost. This way I could set up wood brackets in the truck bed holes to carry a canoe etc. without removing the Retrax System.

I was wondering if Retrax would do the same thing on the Retrax Pro? Do you know how heavy it is? If I ever need to get another one, I would get this one.

Nice top.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • I have 2 choices. 
    • 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.
