After looking at all types of Tonneu Covers, I'm thinking that the Tri-Fold type is best for me.

 

For those of you that have the Tri-Fold design, are you happy with it?

 

Do you wish you had gone with a different type?

With the 8 ft bed there is still usually plenty of room for taller items. With a short bed I probably would have gone with something else or at least the type that flips up against the rear of the cab.

I have a double cab with standard 6.6' bed.

I have a undercover flex tri fold and have no issues with it what soever

 

If you have a picture, please post it. I havn't decided on a brand yet, but thought the American and Tonno Pro looked nice, both of which are about $280-ish.

American and TonnoPro are basically the same cover. Lund now owns TonnoPro. I have had a TonoFold for three years on my 2013 Sierra and it has served me well. I did have a hinge break in the box when shipped (something hit the box) and the company sent me three hinges the next day. After three years I had a hinge break and I replaced it with one of the spares that I had then I contacted TonnoPro and they were going to send me another hinge and I mentioned that some of the stiching looked like it was starting to break. ( I think it might have happened while cleaning off snow) they asked for picture so I sent it to them and in two days I had a whole new cover sent to me free of charge. Lifetime warranty on frame and hinges and 10 year on vinyl. You can not beat their service. I just got a 2015 Sierra as I still have my replacement in the box for the 2013 so I sold it and ordered one for the new truck. For the money I don't think you can beat it. If you need the full bed open you just turn the front knobs to take off the whole top.

 

Right now there is a $50 rebate on the TonnoPro and also if you get it at Autoanything.com contact thru chat and ask for a 10% off discount ( the code they show will not work on TonnoPro) and they will set you up. Very nice to get it for $251.10 shipped free and then after the $50 rebate it comes to $201.10 total.

 

Not bad...

I'm happy with my Extang Solid Fold2. I prefer it over the one piece fiberglass I had on my previous truck for its usability.

After hearing about the Extang Solid Tri-Fold, and reading/watching reviews, I'm now sorta leaning that direction. The solids offer the added benefit of increased security for items in the bed.

I had a Tonnopro hardfold - if you're in/out of it a lot it's kind of a pain in the butt, the latches seem fragile

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
