I like the hard trifold one with the leather covering it so it still looks seamless.   Not sure of the brand, ordered with my truck through the dealership and it has a bowtie so it's made for Chevy by someone.   Keeps things secure and mostly water proof.

Great deal on a bakflip G2 on ebay2c01dd85b9da4441bd7b2220751edf9f.jpg

Great deal on the g2. Only thing i hate about that and the flex, is that you have to open the tonneau to shut the tailgate or else you’ll destroy that seal. The mx4 and ultra have the updated tailgate seal.

Still a great deal

I just installed my UltraCover Ultra Flex.  Why did I go with this one?

- Vinyl covers look cheap...because they are.  Same goes for the vinyl folding covers. 
- Full one-piece covers are a pain in the butt.  Pass
- Roll ups are nice, but the canister takes up a lot of space AND have issues with ice

That left a hard folding cover.  Any cover that requires or recommends you lift the cover to close the tailgate is a joke - period.  There is no reason for that BS.  That takes a number of covers out of the market, including Gator's entire lineup.  I liked the Lomax/WeatherTech cover, but it won't fold up to the cab, so that was a no-go.  Then it ended up leaving me with the BAK or UltraCover higher end covers.  BAK has a worse reputation for quality.  I ended up finding an Amazon Warehouse deal, so at $735 shipped, it was a no brainer:

I completely agree with all of your points above.  I am debating between the Undercover Ultra Flex, BAK Revolver X4, or Truxedo Sentry CT.  I think you may have just pushed me towards the Ultra Flex!  Looks awesome on your truck!  Thanks for posting a pic of how you routed the drain tubes as well.

Following this one closely. 17' sierra crew and I'm looking for a good lockable trifold

Posted (edited)

First post on this forum. Just got a new ‘18 Sierra. I had a ‘12 Avalanche and that bed cover was nice. Struggling between the Undercover one piece Elite and the Ultra Flex.  Anyone like or dislike the trifold WeatherTech (Lomax) The Lomax/WeatherTech seems to go to great lengths to claim water tightness. I think I going with that. The design seems better - no drains to deal with and if you need the whole bed just take the covers off.  Thoughts or experiences?

I had a Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite on my first truck, it went with it when I traded it in and I bought a new one for my second truck but the straps that pull the tabs on the middle panels to fold deteriorated and broke off, as well as the ones on the tie down straps, I couldn't even secure the cover while folded anymore, of course this happened right at the 2 year mark and I was SOL on getting it fixed under warranty. I just got a new truck so now I'm looking for a new cover, the G4 Elite was 99.99% waterproof in my experience, and I need something as waterproof as possible. I liked the idea of the Roll-and-lock but I saw it's not waterproof, plus you need to open it to open the tailgate. The undercover ultra flex looks nice but I'm not sure about a pull open cable system, and not sure how waterproof it is.

Any other recommendations out there? I'll keep going thru the thread

    • 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.
    • Hoooooooly smokes, batman!    
    • 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. 😉
