If the drop-in plastic bedliner fits OVER the rails, it will interfere with most covers and so the drop-in will need to be cut. If the drop-in bedliner fits UNDER the rails, you're probably OK in most cases. In some cases, you may have to trim the drop-in so that the cover's clamps will fit properly. In both cases (under and over the rail bedliner), the bulkhead piece (area behind the rear window) should be cut off. It's not mandatory, but most covers will fit much better with the bulkhead piece trimmed off. If you don't cut it off and you have factory plastic rail caps, there will be a gap between the factory rail cap and the drop-in bulhead piece and that's where water will leak into the bed.

 

Of course, you could remove the plastic bedliner and throw it away instead of cutting it.

Here's too pictures of the bed cover. Its dark outside right now otherwise I'd go take one. The first was taken when I was looking it prior to purchase to show the scratches in the plastic on top of the tailgate, but you can see how high the liner comes up in the front of the bed. The second was from the dealer pictures.

Does the drop in liner fit under the rails? If so most of the folding covers should work, but routing the drain tubes on some may require drilling.

I have an Extang Solid Fold 2.0 that does not require additional side rails or a drain tube.

I was able to get it for $760 from an authorized dealer and it was shipped directly from Extang.

The drop-in liners fit under the SIDE RAILS (important distinction). The factory liner does not come up over the FRONT RAIL while some aftermarket liners do. Personally, I would opt for an aftermarket drop-in that comes up over the front rail (but is still considered an under-rail liner because that's relative to the side rails).

Question about Autoanything and coupon codes. I have a code for 20% off my first order with them. Today in my email I got another email that says they are having a flash sale with 20% off code. Do they let you use both codes to buy a cover? I see the Access Vanish and think it would be pretty sweet at 40% off.

 

Thoughts?

 

I chatted with Autoanything and was told exactly what I thought. Nope, only one code at a time.

They were going to let you use a 20% off on a tonneau cover? I tried to purchase a Undercover Flex on there today and the 20% off did not apply.

 

 

Does anybody know of any sites that will be having sales soon. I know Black Friday is coming and would like to purchase a tonneau cover soon.

Price match and 20% would be sweet for sure. 20% was going to be $310.

 

I bought the Access Vanish tonight from Autoanything price matched to 4wheel at $289. Pretty happy about that.

The 20% code that Autoanything give you does not work for a whole lot of products that they sell. Click restrictions link to see all the companies that you can not use the discount for.on the

I noticed this. I put the code in and none of the 3 things in my cart were discounted. I chatted with one of the reps and got around 20% by price matching on my order total.

The one thing I did when I just purchased a Tonneau cover was I started a chat session and told them that I thought that not being able to use the code on anything that I wanted was not right and they did and up giving me 10% off of the cover.

The leer looks good, very OEM look IMO. How's it do for keeping your bed dry?

I really like that Leer cover MiltonKid! Very nice. Maybe when my newly installed Access Vanish wears out a Lear like that may be on mine too.

    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
