I forgot to post after getting my Truck Gear hard tri-fold installed.  So far it is great.  I have had zero leaks by the seals and just the minor maybe 1% dampness by the tailgate from the gap.  I will have 3 posts as apparently the file sizes are too large for one post.

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

And the last picture is apparently larger than 4.88MB by itself.  I’ll upload it later if someone can explain how to change the file size on an iPhone.

Installed an Access Lorado cover yesterday.

I have the Lund soft roll up on mine but the Access Lorado looks smoother and more taut. How much and what style of bridge work is under it? Photo? Thanks.

The Lorado runs about $475-$500, but I found this one off eBay from a dealer that had acquired a bunch of these that had damaged boxes, but the contents were just fine.....sold to me for $350.  It is very taut and there are three or four rails that span across the bed that sit on top of the rails.  I'll snap a pic of the inside later this afternoon.

 

Edit: Here are some grainy pics of the inside of the Lorado install:

Thanks. If I didn't know better I would swear I was looking into the box of my own truck. These two tops look identical except mine is not that tight. Know what the replacement will be now.

I really like my Truxedo lo-pro. Rolls up nicely and keeps (most) of the water out during hard summer rains.

Fold-a-Cover is bar far the best cover at least for my needs. Hard cover, folds flat against cab of truck. Has a front hatch that opens and locked. A storage/tool box is also available. You don’t have to open your tail gate to get into the back locking hatch. Has room under the storage/tool box for longer items. Not a drop inside my truck. I’m sure it was because of the superior install done by me lol. Installed in about 2 hours. I’ve had it 6 months and still love it. https://www.foldacover.com/products/tonneau-covers/g4-elite-fold-a-cover/

All covers have their pros and cons including FoldACover.  DARIN mentioned some pros.  One small con, though, is that FoldACover still uses metal "piano" hinges which no one uses anymore.  The seal that keeps water out of the piano hinge tends to break over time.  The heavier the use of folding the cover, the quicker the seal will break.  If you don't fold it very often, the seal should last a long time.  The seal is replaceable.

Got a Tyger RoLock Low Profile Roll-Up for 170 on Amazon. It was a returned item. Installed it today but it looks like it is good quality. Will see how it holds up to the rain and driving

Just installed a Retrax on 2018 Silverado, so far no issues. It’s not as water tight as I thought it should be but I will work on it...

Hey all new to the forum just took possession of a 2018 ocean blue LTZ e assist. I am currently waiting to get it back from getting bed liner sprayed and windows tinted. Looking to upgrade my factory cover to a Bak flip MX4, what are you guys finding for pricing on these currently?  How are they holding up over the years?

Do a search here for the Bak covers fitting flush to the top rail.  There has been quite a few leaking issues with them.  Look above at bkesting's red truck with the Access Lorado cover, it's a classy one.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
