I just purchased the Truck Cover USA American roll cover with quick release handle for $1413 from autoanything. It pays to use the little chat screen as I went from a msrp of $1650 with $100 off, so $1550 to $1413 after the chat. They also gave me credited me the difference for a catback i purchased earlier because I noticed it was now cheaper. IT all took 10 minutes at best, great place to deal with. Once the truck and the cover both come in and I get a free weekend to install, I'll post pics/review.

After reading your post, I did a little homework on the Truck Cover. I was set on the Retrax, but this looks just as good with an additional two drain holes in the rear. The two toolbox options are nice too.

Think my mind got changed.

Thanks!

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

If you want a Truck Cover USA cover, you're better off going to a LINE-X dealer. The Truck Gear by LINE-X cover is the same EXACT cover except you get a lifetime warranty instead of a 3-year warranty. Also, you automatically get the optional "keyless entry" handle.

I thought of that, but I figured any truck gear was full retail and I took a gamble to save money up front. Plus I figured a truck gear place would need to install it for the guarantee which would add even more cost. Again that wasn't a fact a checked, just a hunch I went off of.

I ended up with a BakFlip Fibermax and it is great so far. I bought from Morrie at BakFlip Factory Outlet and got a very good price and fast shipping.

Is it possible to notch out the rails on the Truck Cover so the bed stake pockets can be used ?

I know Retrax will do it upon request. Sure seems like these cover manufactures should just do it. Why leave it half exposed and useless?

That is one drawback with these covers along with losing a perimeter of bed space from the rails and canister.

You may want to send an email to Truck Covers USA to ask about that, I hear they are in San Diego.

Overall I am really happy with the design, look, and functionality with this cover drawbacks aside.

I would think you could trace out a template and then bring the rails to any machine shop and they could notch out for the pocket. Then you would have to bring the rails to a powder coater and get them recoated. It would be a bit of work, but if it matters to you, then it will be worth it.

Not sure about the Truck Cover brand, but with a Truxedo Lo-Pro QT you still have full use of the stake pockets.

About to order a rollx. Where are you guys ordering from? Any discounts going on?

 

I ordered my BakFlip from Morrie at the BakFlip Factory Outlet. The chat box comes up on the website and you can ask for the discount there.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
