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

Still happy with the tonnopro hardfold, keeps my stuff dry and I can take it off by myself in less than a couple of minutes.... It's not the coolest looking cover around but, it works great for the price.... If I had the money to burn and wanted to I'd buy the Truxedo Titanium....

I just bought a new MX4 for a crazy good price compared to list. I checked this sites vendors to see if they have BAK products and I didn't find any indication. You can send a PM and I'll tell you the website and price I got (under $800) to the door. I'd post it here but I'll respect the vendors site exclusivity.

Yes, plenty of us got it for $770 or less delivered.

 

Here's mine

I've had the Retrax One-powered version, for over a year now. So far I have no complaints. The only leaks I've had is when driving at interstate speeds (75-80) in the rain. The tailgate lets the road spray in. I solved this, while on the trip, by laying a rolled up towel across the floor at the back of the bed. I bought the stick on seal for the tailgate, but haven't installed it yet. It looks like it will stop the leaks. I also bought the wide rails. It looks a lot better and I can't tell there is any downside from going with the wide rails. Yes the stake holes make a nice hand hold, but so does the lip of the bed. My advice would be go with the wide rails.

I went with a simple roll-up cover. I installed the Truxedo Lo Pro cover yesterday. This is my second Lo Pro. I had one for several years on my old '07 Silverado. Excellent product, and really easy to get out of the way quickly when you need full access to your bed.

If anyone is interested, I went in with bunch of people and got group price on Undercover Ultra Flex for 2014+ short beds. Had to order 1 more than needed for discount.

We will pass deal along to you. $800 brand new. Still factory sealed unopened box.

Do they have a tri fold or roll up strong enough to stand on? I see the load ratings at 300+ but they don't recommend standing on it.

 

And if that doesn't exist, which one can I close with the top down? Most places seem to leave that information out and as you dig deeper you find out you can't.

Ludasmith, I wouldn't recommend standing on the trip folds when the panels are laid across the bed. When the last 2 panels are folded on top of the front panel, you can stand on that. I had the MX4 and stood on it to wash the roof when it was folded on itself.

I know the Backflip MX4 and Undercover Ultra Flex have the universal tailgate seals, that allow you to open and close the tailgate with the cover closed.

Somebody above was selling the undercover ultra not too long ago.

Well I have had my Fold a Cover G4 Elite on for a few months now, I am really happy with it. Haven't seen any water get in from rain or melting snow. Being able to open the front panel was the selling point for me, I also really like the storage box. I would recommend this cover to a to anyone looking for a hard folding cover.

Ordered a Fold-a-Cover G4 Elite on Friday $860.00 bucks to my door, directly from their website. I opted out of the storage toolbox since it was so expensive $589.00 adder for a little plastic tool box "Come On Man". Anyway I was curious if anyone had tried to fit a BAK2 toolbox into a Fold-a-Cover G4 Elite?? It looks like I could order one of those for $260.00 bucks and if it would fit I would have the perfect cover and toolbox to use with my TriMode side steps since the front panel opens independently of the back three panels to allow easy access to a tool box. I had a color matched Peragon on my 2016 but it was pretty leaky and you could not access the front unless you opened it completely. Color match was super sweet though.

I *think* the Rollbak is what I'll end up going with. Not super happy about the lack of customer support I keep reading about BAK though. The MX4 seems to be the most sold on every website I've visited, and that might be for good reason and worth considering.

after i did some research Ive decided to go with the MX4.. i had an avalanche in the past and was looking for something similar to those panels.. also i wanted it as low profile as possible.. seems like the reviews are good on them also..

Fold-a-Cover G4 Elite is installed. BakBox2 tool box is ordered (234 bones) but has not arrived yet. I am hoping it will work with this Fold-a-Cover with some minor tweaking. The BakBox2 toolbox looks pretty awesome, it can fold up (when emptied out) towards the front of the bed and allow even more bed access if needed I still cannot believe Fold-a-Covers price ($589.00) for a plastic toolbox and it does not fold up out of the way LOL. I am not one to pinch pennies (obviously) but NOBODY likes to get taken advantage of on price no matter how much disposable income that you have................ Its the principal of the thang man.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      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.
