Has anyone tried the Xtang 2.0 folding cover?  Looks like they removed the locking function and the side rails with water drain in this version.  Looks nice, I prefer the hard top as we can get a few feet of snow in the Republic of MA.

That does look nice.. I have the trifecta 2.0 soft cover .. no problem with snow here in Worcester!
I’ll go hard top next time I think.

I have the soft top and my brother has the hard top. Neither of us have any leaks besides that huge gap between the tailgate and bed when going through a water jet car wash.

I have the xtang encore, I prefer having the lock since I keep my tow strap and normal truck stuff in the front of the bed

What was nice is that I called Extang to discuss and they turned me on to local dealer here in Marlboro and gave me the exact p/n for my truck.  Dealer said they would have it in 2 days, they didnt have exact model in stock but they can get it from another so I’ll have it Wed.  Doesnt lock, but with locking tailgate, essentially the same protection.  Total no-tool installation.

I have this cover and I am happy with it.  The finish kinda is fading now after three years and a couple months (truck lived outside 24/7 for the first 2 and a half years).  I coated it in Adams Super VRT and it looks really good again.  Minimal water leaking, typically only when at the coin op car wash with the high pressure.

 

If I had to do it all again tho, I'd probably opt for something like the BakFip MX4 which you can put in an upright position against the cab.  There have been several times where I've had to take it off to haul something.  Guess it depends  how much you use your bed for that type of thing...  It is very easy to take on and off, just would be easier if I didn't have to!

I've talked to the folks at Extang before on the phone. They are very accommodating. 

Did you check the prices on Autoanything.com? I have bought a few tonneau covers from them over the years. They seem to have one of the best prices online. If you start a chat session with them, you can often haggle a bit and they'll sometimes drop the price even lower.

Thanks for the suggestion, one problem I have is that I need to take a long trip this weekend and needed a cover quickly, so having it locally was a plus for me.  Actually, just having dropped almost $40K with sales tax, what's another few bucks vs buying online.  Just hoping wifey doesn't question.  Heck, she never notices another gun in the safe so would she notice a new tonneau on the back of the truck?

I have the Extang Soild Fold 2.0 and it's the best cover out. In rain, snow, car wash I might get a few drops but nothing major. I would never get a soft cover again. Tried to save $400 by not getting the Extang the first time and it bit me in the ass. Not only does it stay dry but is also more secure. I took my wife to the outlets one day and decided we had a lot of bags and I would drop some off. After finishing up and getting on the highway about 30 minutes later something felt weird almost like a strap flapping in the wind. Getting out to check on it I noticed someone had taken a knife/boxcutter to it and stole everything that was inside the bed. Go hard cover or dont even get one. I found that amazon had the cheapest price and it was at my home in 2 days.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
