All my trucks in the past I have had leer and ARE fiberglass tonneau covers   

 

decided to try undercover since they are easy to take off and only weigh 65lbs love it. 

paint has a lifetime warranty

It looks nice. But Im not a fan of big one piece covers. Storage is an issue for some of us when we need the full bed.  On the hard tri folds-for short trips to the bike path they fold up in front of the rear window and lock in place. For longer trips they come off and mine sits on my patio table.  But your truck looks good!

Just picked up the Bakflip F1. Was dark when I finished installing, this is the best pic I have right now.  I haggled the guys at auto anything for a better price. Very similar to the Mx4.

I have the soft roll cover, it's easy to roll on and off. Even if I want the bed open, the roll is snug fit and I don't have to worry that it will loose. This is my first accessory I bought.

Looks awesome! Got anymore pictures of it during the day?

I just put the roll-style cover on my 17 Sierra also.  My father has had a Truxedo roll-style tonneau for over 15 years, and other than needing to sew new velcro onto the sides, it's been rock solid.  A buddy of mine bought the no-name version from Amazon for less than half the cost of the Truxedo, and he was really happy with it, so I decided to give it a try. I just put on the truck on Tuesday, and I'm mostly satisfied.  It's virtually identical to my father's Truxedo, with the only real difference being that the Truxedo has metal pieces where the back of the cover cams into place, and this has plastic.  My only real complaint is that I don't feel like the back of the cover comes down quite far enough, so there's not a good seal on the tailgate.  I'll have to see if I get any water that leaks in through that spot.

For anyone wondering, yes, it is possible to have a headache rack, a tonneau cover, and a toolbox all at the same time! I just finished building this rack and it works great.

Did you just bout a 5.8 cover on your truck bed or did you cut a fit down to size?

Its an "Extang Trifecta Toolbox 2.0 Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover" I got from americantrucks.com. It's made  to fit with a toolbox.

I've had it on for a week now.  Yesterday, the locks came undone while driving down SR-14.  Tightened them up, and have been good to go since.

I'm considering a new cover for my 2016 GMC Sierra SLT Crew Cab,  narrowed it down to the Leer HF650M, Lomax Trifold or the Extang Xceed. It's tough though, some of the reviews are terrible, but that goes for any product anymore. I like the Leer and the fact that with 4 panels it folds low enough to be able to see the brake light and doesn't require a drain. Anyone have any experience with any of these?

Wow, I just got back from the local speed shop that actually had models of covers and real world experience and now I'm leaning towards the Leer 350 over the others. They had an Extang Solid Fold 2 that is really nice, but there's no rail and the separate locking mechanism is kind of a turn off. Extang is currently doubling the 4 year warranty to 8 years. And they love their customer service. I didn't like that out of the 3 panels only 2 actually flip, for more space you remove the cover. Such a difficult decision.

I'm waiting on my GatorTrax Electric Tonneau Cover to be delivered late next week.
I think it's the same as many of the above.
If anyone wants a non-electric retractable cover, let me know - shipping will be an issue so I guess I'll just add it to my parts bin (33x12.5x18 BFG KO2s - about 100 miles on 'em, a few sets of side mirrors - original color matched Summit White caps, some HID headlights - original, original aluminum 18" rims in mint condition ... I got a lot!)

    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
