Purchased a Truxport for $270 and installed it the other day in about 20 min. Went skiing this weekend, and parked right next to a silverado with the LO PRO. The LO PRO was nice looking flush, yet I wouldn't say $500 nice. Did notice some flutter on the highway, yet not enough to drive me nuts. Thought about adjusting the tension, but Truxedo says that will void the warranty. My wife was able to roll the cover back easily enough while unloading the truck at the ski lodge. Time will tell regarding durability and appearence over time. Now for some LineX and mudflaps.

 

Yeah I have the same one. It flaps around for sure on the freeway. I did try to adjust the tension a bit but I don't have any tools that'll fit in there.

The sides both had Velcro. Owner wasn't around, so I didn't mess with his truck. Lo pro did have s nice flush look.

 

I believe there are other things to put the $$ towards. I'll get mudflaps and additional tie downs with the difference in toneau cover price.

 

The truxport opens and closes easily. So much better than my last truck's snap on cover. Only criticism would be the corner foam that has to be put on; wonder if they'll stay on.

Hi looking at a Tonno Pro lo roll cover for my 2014 Sierra 1500. Does anyone have one of these covers? Has anyone install their cover with the factory bed liner and bed rail caps installed and were there any issues? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I just installed a LoRoll on my Silverado that has both the caps and factory bed liner. You have to pull the rubber insulation off the rails or they won't sit correctly against the bed caps. Once you do that and get the rails bolted up the cover will fit nice and tight ... I like the cover and the quality is great. Can't beat the price either ... Think I paid $269.00 delivered .... Install took like 30 minutes.

$230 on Ebay, was an open box discount.

Install super easy, fits perfect. Seems well made.

Hi I'm looking at the same cover, do you have a bed liner? If so any mods needed during install? Thanks

Thanks for the info. How about the front of the bed? any problems there?

Anyone hear of the "new" Bakflip Recolver X2? It looks like the Roll X but maybe upgraded? I can't find any clear info online.

That tonno loroll looks exactly like my truxedo lo pro did, can't help but wonder if its got a different patch on there, can one of u guys take a pic of the Velcro and latch system for me please?

 

Thanks

No ... Everything lines up perfect .... The only thing I did was I took the rubber insulation that comes with the kit and used it on the front of the bed where the cover sits to give me an extra seal against water. They say to use it around the tailgate but I opted not to. After a few heavy downpours I did see a trickle of water in the bed but nothing that would cause any damage to the cargo back there.

xkvator is that completely flush on your left side, about 1/3 of the way back?

That's where the hinge is...

 

I haven't looked at it close, but seems a little wider than the frame there...

Just seems weird that the other side didn't seem to have it. I watched a YouTube video of this cover and it looked the same as yours does in that spot.

 

Must be the way they all are... I hope it's still flush there though. I'd imagine it is.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
