Bed cover with sport bar?

[Drew Flores]

I test drove a 2016 Silverado with the new Off Road Sport Package today, and I really like it. I asked at the dealership if there's a bed cover that is compatible with the sport bar, bu nobody had an answer - anyone know any different? It will help me decide whether or not to get the dealer-installed sport bar or not, since the bed cover is more important for me than the sport bar and associated lights.

 

Thanks.

Since the new 2016 Sivlerado and 2014 models are identical except for the front grille and hood, do you think the sports bar will fit a 2014 silverados bed?

wow how about that! Good stuff, thanks!

Steve - let me know if you have any luck with purchasing this cover. Called my local dealer and they said the cover is not a good GM part number and can't get it for me.

I just called my dealer and he didnt even know existed. I showed him the website and he is going to talk to his GM rep. He thinks it is not available to the public yet. I will keep you posted.

Hi Everyone, I hope this clears everything up. I took delivery of an All Terrain X a few months ago and have been calling every tonneau cover company since then. Based on my research, Truxedo is the only company working on making a compatible cover. The cover will be the Truxedo Lo Pro. I followed this Chevy CA link and called the company listed. It is in fact referring to the Truxedo Lo Pro that is being developed and tested. It was simply listed under a parent company name. After talking to Truxedo several times in the last few months and after my call today, they confirmed that testing is going well and it is expected to launch early 2017. I hope this helps anyone looking to buy a truck with the sport bar or anyone contemplating whether to modify a new cover.

Perfect. I guess I will sit and wait then.

I ordered the 2016 Sports Bar Package but it didn't have instructions. I'm not getting any leads from local Chevy dealers telling me its against policy to disclose installation instructions to customers. Im at a loss of words and need help installing this awesome sports bar package...any suggestions.Thanks,

Just installed a Lund Genesis rollup cover.....the sports bar does not interfere with the mount........only change wasa installation of and extra 3/8" foam insulation to take up the difference where the bracket overlaps the side rail cap.

if you dont mind can you post a picture of how does the foam goes in the track

thank you

We can probably help but it would be beneficial if you took a few pictures of the bar at different angles and with all the hardware you got with it. I assume the bar mounts in your front two stake pockets with expansion fittings or they drop in and it drops into the stack pocket and a bolt holds the bar via an existing hold near in the pocket, then a clamp style plate appears to connect the rear of the bar with the side of the bed.

Any updates on the tonneau cover in testing?

We have 6 of those bars in the back of our parts room at my dealership because anyone that buys those trucks doesn't want them and we take them off lol. We can't even give them away.

I didnt get a chance to install my BAK Revovler X2 on my truck with the sports bar. I did get one rail notched out for one section. I probably wont get it install until spring. Truck is in storage.

Why would anyone buy a truck with these accessories and then request to take them off? If true, those buyers are as re%^#*^%# as your comment.

It's happens all the time. It's a matter of taste. I think they are about the ugliest thing you can put on a truck other than a cap but the next person might love them.

We take off chrome everything, step bars etc. The customer gets a discount for the stuff that gets taken off unless they just don't care, which also happens a lot.
