Great customer service too! Accidentally ordered the wrong size 5’8” instead of 6’6” and they were awesome in getting it worked out.

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.

I considered all the others like Bakflip etc. but I went with the SolidFold because it doesn’t require a rail so when you remove it there is nothing left on the truck. For the two reasons you mention this lid fits the bill.

This looks like a really nice cover. Cooler to the touch than a painted metal cover is a plus for high elevation intense sun.

 

$859 free ship is best price I can find. Looks like Free set of Front Husky Floor mats Xact Contour or Weatherbeater. I would rather take an extra $100 off instead of waiting a month or two for mats to show up...

eBay has a couple at a lower price.  Search for Solid Fold 83450

Thanks for the help. I chatted with AutoAnything and they dropped price to $773. 

 

Ordered.

 

More than I wanted to spend but looks like a nice, well built cover. I also like that the panels are insulated so I don't cook everything in the bed. Also the complete removal in seconds is a plus.

My MX4 showed up today and was waiting for me when I got home from work.  Weather was decent, so I installed it.  Not too bad of a job.  It did have to notch the corners of the GM drop in bed liner and drill holes in the liner for the drains.  It took a bit to get it adjusted, but seems to fit very well now.  If we get the rails/snow they are promising on Monday, I'll get to see how well it keeps the water out.  Looks are great and it arrived in good condition.  I was a bit worried about shipping something that big and heavy but they paid them really well.  I love the flush fit.  It got kinda dark on me, so I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Just installed Lomax tri fold. Love the low profile look. Very easy to install.

That is a great looking cover, for some reason I haven't heard of it before.

 

Let us know how it does in the rain....I love the looks of it.

 

So far so good in the rain and 3 snow storms. Small tiny leak front right corner. Made an adjustment and all good.

Pretty straightforward install. Make sure to drop the side rail towards the cab on each side  by1/16”-1/8. If you don't you will have a small gap and won't sit flush. I had to make an adjustment. Hit me up if you have any questions.

I will have to really consider that one next time !

New covers coming somewhere around April to July:

 

The current Truck Gear by LINE-X hard folding cover (which is much like a Bakflip Fibermax) will change to an MX4 model.  You get a lifetime warranty.

 

Undercover has a folding cover with painted panels to match your truck.

Another Truck Gear by LINE-X hard folding cover (don't know the name) which will have LINE-X applied to the panels.  Sometime after the introduction of the Truck Gear cover, Undercover's Armor Flex will be introduced which might be the same cover.

Any tonneau covers out there for a toolbox that's in the bed of the truck or pics of you guys having any? I've seen two but they are like $400-500 so something cheaper would be nice(I have a 5'8" bed)

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
