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

Installed a Bak Roll-X cover Monday night. I didn't want another tilting hard fiberglass cover like I had on my last two trucks becuase it really limits what you can carry in the bed unless you completely remove it, which requires multiple people. So i wanted something that was low profile, and could roll up, but still be solid so it was secure. Really liking it so far, except the rubber along the edges is not laying completely flat. Hoping that will work itself out over time.

^nice, I have a Roll-X too. The sun will heat up the side seals and they should lay flat then. Or you can use a hairdryer on them.

That looks great. I just ordered an undercover flex. If I don't like it, I'm sending it back for the roll x.

I've got the Roll-X too and am completely satisfied with it. It's a hundred times better than the old style canvas styles and IMO, the fiberglass covers - and don't worry, the edges settle down nice and flat after a week or so, sooner if it gets really hot outside.

 

Still, that Retrax looks better yet IMO - I probably would have gotten that one but I didn't know about it at the time.

Thanks for the reassurances that the edges will lay flat eventually. It is nice and sunny today, and it is already much better than right after I installed it. I also washed my truck today, and only a little bit of water got in the bed around the tail gate, and most of that is probably from the tailgate vertical gaps.

Had the same with my BakFlip VP. Edges now lay flat. For the water leaks, they make tailgate sealer moulding kits that help with that

I have been looking at folding covers and have narrowed it down to the Fold-a-Cover G4 Elite. I am a bit concerned that any online retailers (other then the factory store) that I've found that carry the G4, are showing it as "out of stock/no longer available for ordering". Is this a supply/demand issue or is FAC in "trouble"?

 

A "local" FAC dealer said the stopped carrying the product due to the number of problems they had. Anyone have any insight?

I just got an email from my dealership with a 10% off accessories coupon, so I wonder, do I g ahead and get the GM soft or hard folding cover, or go for a bak roll x? Hmmm

No problems here or that I've heard. The GM installed folding cover from factory is also the Fold-a-Cover model. Could likely be a supply issue at this time.

Well, the problem is that many online suppliers don't really keep an inventory, some do though, buy many don't. In addition, the wholesale suppliers no longer stock Fold-A-Covers, that's another story. So, I would recommend you get on the phone and call your local accessory shops and ask if they can order a Fold-A-Cover. If the shop has an account with Steffens Enterprises (who owns FoldACover), then they can order a cover for you direct from Steffens.

 

You might also consider an Extang Encore.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
