I have a Bakflip MX4 for sale. New. One problem, the rods that hold it fully open are too long.  If you don't plan to open it or can fix it, this is the top for you at a big discount. Let's say $700 plus shipping.

I've had my Fold-a-cover installed for a few weeks now and wanted to report back. I opted for the tool caddy as well. All in with tax/shipping it was about $1,400.

Coming from a Chevy Avalanche, this combination works really well for me. Having the tool caddy allows me to store and Lock items away and still have the other three panels folded to carry larger items.

The tool caddy also sits about four to five in off the bed floor, so longer items can utilize the full bed length.

Thus far the system has been watertight through several torrential downpours.

I've found this forum to be very informative.  I've been a lurker and not much of a poster.  I'd post this in another section, but I don't have enough posts.  I'm parting with my 16 slt crew short bed and thus have a Retrax Pro mx up for sale if anyone's interested.  I live on long island, ny and the truck is being traded in two weeks.  I'm going to be sad, but I can't have more than one large auto payment and it's the wife's turn to get something new.  $1200 neg.

I installed a rollbak cover back in February. 

 

Tbe cover is overall made of ok materials. The can inside the bed is wavy and not the best but it can’t be seen.  The actual rolling/top cover is very nice and held up well in a hail storm that golf balled the rest of my truck. So kudos for toughness. 

 

As many of the reviews I read online, my cover has started to roll up by itself anytime I hit a bump. It used to just be major pot holes but now it’s rolling up so frequently I have to tie off the pull strap to keep it closed. 

 

Great idea and I love the versatility but I’d go with a roll n lock next time if I were ever to need to buy another cover.

Agricover has great customer service for the Lomax.  I had one of the very first Lomax covers when they were introduces in Sept of 2016.  It had some issues with leaks.  Also had minor issues when folding back down to cover the bed where the latch jammed.  Plus the liner was coming apart.  I called Agricover recently.  They sent me another Lomax cover.  Here are some of the improvements I noticed.

 

- No More Leaks except for very small streaks

- The latch was redesigned and closing the cover is much much better.

- Redesigned brace that holds the cover in position when folded.  Much better design

- Has safety retention hook straps in the event the cover is folded and comes loose while driving

 

I can safely say I really like the Lomax now, especially since the leaking issue has improved so drastically.

I hope you got the Rollbak cheap, it's been discontinued for a while now.

I paid $700 or so for it. Given it’s faults and the price I have no real complaints.  If I remember correctly everything I was looking at was around $1200 maybe?

Here is a quick pic of my new Snuglid SL. Remote unlock, carpet and led 12v lighting.e4a7696bb802f553972e176bc5ebfc05.jpg15e0b0654fc7d3cefb70dfe973421de3.jpg

How much did that cost?

Retail is about $1800 painted and installed with remote unlock. I'm a dealer, so I got it for much less than that.

I recently installed my Lomax, and I'm very pleased so far!  Summary:

 

Customer service: 1 of the rails had a slight scratch in it, I called them, and they sent me 2 ENTIRE rail assemblies! 

Install: very easy. I'm used to having to tweak a cover's rails, etc to get them to work properly initially, but this one latched perfectly the first time.

Look: very low profile, super slick looking.  The powder-coated (?) aluminum panels might scratch, but no issues so far.

Folding: unlatch works easily, and panels fold easily too.  Latching the fully folded group to the front works ok, but could be improved a bit.

               I do wish I could "hinge" the folded group of panels up vertically like the BakFlip, but that would prob change their design too drastically.

Weight: I have a full 6.5' bed, so when I remove the Lomax it's a bit heavy/awkward to handle alone, but I don't fully remove it often so no big issue.

Leaks: no leaks yet, but only a couple average rain storms so far.

Cost: affordable, all things considered.  $715 delivered   (TruckAlterations.com)

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
