I recently got the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite along with the Personal Caddy storage unit.  I chose this setup because I could go from my old tool box to this unit, move all my toolbox stuff to the Personal Caddy, and then access it through the front access without having to flip the whole thing up to get to my tools.  I can still fold the rear of the bed up to expose as much of the bed as I had available back when the toolbox was there, but now it stays dry and secure the rest of the time.  Happy customer so far!

I bought the personal caddy too but ended up removing it after a week or so, it's been sitting in my garage since, I can't seem to be able to sell it lol

I can promise you, had I been able to locate one for sale used, I'd have been all over it.  May I ask, why did you remove it?  For my purposes, it takes up about the same room as the previous aluminum toolbox did, though it has slightly less room and sits deeper.

I needed to load something in the bed that wouldn't fit if I hadn't removed it, and I just never got around to putting it back

Installed the Bak Revolver x4 on my Slivi today.  Seems like a really nice unit, installation was pretty simple.   My only complaint was one side of the cover was not packaged correctly and the left hand seal was slightly damaged (though nothing that affects function).

Installed the bedrug liner and Undercver Ultra Flex.  Don't mind the little one and the screw drivers in the tie down anchors, he turns my bed into a fort once I installed everything.  I ened up installing the LED light strip and tool bag, I can always pull them off if I don't like them...just wanted to try them out since it was included with the cover.

If you bought your Undercover Ultra Flex on 3-1-18 or after (through 3-31-18), there's a $75 rebate.

Damn...............just missed it.  I just checked my order dat and it was 02/26.

Just got a truck after two years without one.  Not sure how I lived with out for two years.  I want to get a cover for the bed.  Have ben looking and there are

so many on the market and so many manufactures.  After ruling out some of each and deciding about what I want, the price of the remaining on the list is

more than I'm willing to pay.  I'll try to describe what I'd like and the top contenders. Would love some alternatives to research.

 

1) I don't like soft covers because most all I've seen flop or wave at higher speeds and that would drive me nuts.

2) I like folding covers that the last position doesn't block the rear window, and are easy to remove when needed.

3) Must be good with water management.  Will carry luggage often.

 

Short List:

Extang Encore

Extang Solid Fold

Fold-a-Cover G4

 

So any recommendations of alternatives to these at a better price point is greatly appreciated.

Those diamondbacks have really gone up in price since I was looking a year ago

Just ordered a Bakflip MX4.  I'll post up again once it arrives and I get it installed.  I liked the MX4 because it's 4 section.  Makes it shorter and more open bed when all but the last section is open plus it doesn't block the cargo light when all the way open.  I also looked at the x4 revolver, but I was concerned with the longevity of the vinyl on it in the Colorado sun.  At least withe MX4, I can put wax on the powder coated panels to try and keep them from fading out.  Tonneau  cover world is having a sale so the price was better right now.

What’s up everyone just wanted to throw my .02 in. I was looking for a tonneau cover for weeks. Yeah, I’m picky... I was looking for a low profile roll up tonneau cover that wouldn’t break the bank but also had the look I was after. I finally found what I wanted it’s a ProZ lo roll cover which was reasonably priced at $249 and eventually got a 15% coupon for dropping it down to $212. Much to my surprise this thing was shipped out of a Truxedo wharehouse. The same truxedo low profile tonneau was nearly $75 more.

2 years later my Extang Solid Fold 2.0 that I bought for my 6.5 foot CC is still going strong.

Cons:

The pebbly finish has turned slightly duller as I don't do anything special to protect it in the hot So Cal sun.

 Slight valleys have appeared under the front clamp locations. (They say don't over tighten to avoid this but tight enough to hold will cause it.)

Cover is not completely water tight as it gets small leaks during rare heavy downpours around the first fold area. Been this way from the start and I expect any folding cover will get leaks.

 

Pros:

Easy to remove and replace by one person.

When the cover is removed there are no rails in the way, you get full bed access.

Very light weight to open and close.

 

 

Overall I am pleased with the investment.

The quality of the cover predicts it should last a few more years.

Even with the extreme sun, heat and UV exposure we get here the rubber parts are still soft and pliable and all other components seem to be holding up well.

Coming from a solid fiberglass cover on my previous truck I am grateful not to have to ask for help to remove it,  or having to  keep the lid tilted up in the air when I needed to carry something taller than the bed sides.

Any other Tonneau covers you were considering? I am in southwest sun with occasional downpours. Looking for one that is easy to remove if i want to load my dirt bike but strong and secure if I am traveling and am storing stuff in the bed.

    • 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.
