No problem. I didn't install the lights my self I worked it out with the dealer. They were excited because they didn't know the lights existed until I told them about them. Not something I would normally do but when you spend that much on the truck they can throw you a bone. I haven't see the instructions my self, but best I can tell the truck is already partly wired for this. I just checked under the drivers side bed and you can see the harness come down from the lights and plugs into the factory into the factory harness. They installed a new head light switch, with the option for the fog lights and the driving lights(and yes you can drive with all the lights on at the same time, looks really cool at night). The cluster has a secondary light to denote that the driving lights are on. I'm not sure if this is in all trucks or only the all terrain. I believe this is similar to how the under rail bed lights are wired. All the GM trucks of this generation have the switch on the dash for the cargo light and adding the under rail light is as easy as plugging them into the module in the truck. No programing required. As for the driving lights, I would recommend them they are very bight and work well is rain and snow. As I said earlier a ridge led light set would run between 6 and 8 hundred and still need to be wired off the battery and a switch installed in the cab. These were $1,000 and work seamless with the truck. Oh one more thing the part number for the kit is 23415424. There are two kits one for fog lights and the other with out, I guess they have a different switch. Be careful for non-all terrain owners, this kit is for a truck with fog lights.

 

I am not exactly sure how to post pictures but if someone can tell me ill post the pictures of the lights and switch.

 

let me know if you have any other questions, ill be happy to answer.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the info!!!! I did partially take the sports bar off the bed and there was wiring there but I think that goes to the 3rd brake light on the bar. I'll have to get under the bed to see if there are more wires going in or out. I cant wait to see pictures!!!!

I put the rail under the forward mounts notched it for the rear mount. Just need to add a bead of silicone to seal it up

Looks something like the "sail" on my old Avalanche or the "wings" on my '69 Chevelle, but a lot meaner. Like the photos show.....mean

I just did a BAK Revolver X2 with some minor mods to the rails around the rear sport bar mount. Came out very good.

Can you send me some pics and exactly how you did it. I just tried today but I can't roll the cover up all the way. I want to try and keep it as clean as possible.

 

Here's my email

New to the forums. I just picked up a 2016 All Terrain X a few weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. I wasn't feeling the sport bar so I asked the dealer to pull it off for me and toss it in the bed. Just as I was about to hop in and pull away I thought to myself I should probably test the cab brake light and sure enough it was dead. I wished I had seen this thread ahead of time because I was there another 3 hours before the tech figured out how to get it working again. He said he couldn't find anything in the GM resources he had. Poor guy was stuck but he wasnt going to give up. He finally figured it out and had me on my way. I have the bar sitting in my garage in hopes to sell it on craigs list or something. It is practically brand new and has all the hardware and wiring on it. Is there anyone that would be interested in picking one up? I am in the Northern Virginia area. Shoot me a PM if you might be interested.

http://rollnlock.com/ These guys have it figured out for trucks with roll or sports bar.

I am confused on that site. Doesnt say anywhere its for a bed with a sports bar. I did 2016 Sierra with the shortest bed.

It explains right here that you use the quikfoot system they invented

http://rollnlock.com/truck-bed-products/qwikfoot#filter/2016 Look around the site a little. You will find what you need.

Just looking at the pictures I dont see how that will work with the All Terrain X sports bar. The feet are totally different. Guess I'll email them to see if they will work or not. Thanks for the info!! :)

That sounds like the best solution. Let me know what you find out from them please.

Got an email response from them:

 

"The Qwikfoot is only available for oversea trucks for mounting style bars they are not available for US model trucks. They will not work for your application truck if you have any other questions let me know."

Thanks I actually went with a soft cover with a tensioner control that runs along bed rails instead of on them. It will be here Wednesday. I'll be installing it that day. They claim 30 minute set-up time on them. The one I ordered is: Truxedo 571801 Silverado/Sierra 1500 5' 8" Lo Pro Qt. The website said it wouldn't fit my truck on eBay so I did a little digging and found out that it was just eBay acting up because I ran it on another site for compatibility and it matched up to my 2016.

I bought a Revolver X2 and had it modified like a few other people. Best option out there for a tonneau cover. It is hands down the most low profile tonneau I've ever seen.

Truxedo has updated their ordering options for a "w/ Factory Sport Bar" FYI

      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.
