I just ordered the Bakflip MX4 from truckalterations.com for $780 with no tax and free shipping. I just sent an email and asked for their best price as someone suggested in another thread and they got back to me right away then sent an electronic invoice for payment.

Undercover Ultra Flex.  Very clean, low profile look and it folds vertically if need so u have 100% to your entire bed.  Very solid built and very satisfied with it

I went with the BakFlip MX4 and I love it. Easy install, low profile, and they have great customer service. They sent me a new cover when I contacted them when I noticed some of the rubber seals were

Had the MX4 on my 16. Didn’t like that it blocked the window when all the way up. Plus it was kinda heavy when folding. Have the Revolver X4 on my 19, works great and much easier to roll up without cl

Just installed an undercover ultraflex.  Looks great and I love how it does not rest on the cab in the full upright position.  Little pricey, but I got the $100 rebate so that helps.  It got rained on almost immediately and had very little to no water in the bed.

I can confirm that the GM Embark Advantage Max cover, or as most know it...the Retrax Pro MX, allows the use of the assist handle that flips up in the bed.

I installed tonight but the pics at night were poor, so tomorrow I will post some. Pretty easy install and the Realtrucks YouTube video made it even easier.

Cover looks cool and functions well as far as closing and opening. Can't comment on water tightness, but more on those tests later this week.

I plan to buy the same also especially since Chevy currently has 20% off on their site. 

 

I did a lot of research and I think I want to go with the Retrax Pro MX (or Embark Advantage on their site). I like the flexibility of having the T-rails available if you want to put some cross bards on there.  What made you decide to go with this cover?

 

Post a picture when you can so we can see how it looks! Thanks.

I went with this cover because of the 20% discount plus free shipping and was also able to use my GM Rewards points also. The cover was ordered last Friday and came in on Tuesday(obviously the strike didn't effect the accessories). $365 discount was nice.

It is warranted for 3 years by GM and guaranteed to fit. The assist handle for the MultiPro tailgate works and the auto-down tailgate still works.

It was easy to install and works nicely. The color is matte black and it's powder coated all aluminum constructed. There are no T slots on my cover although there may be one on GMC's site.

I like the retractable better than a trifold personally. This one is made by Tetrax and the email they/Retrax sent me said that it is the ProMX with another name for GM.

Hey guys! I just put on my new tonneau cover. I bought it online and paid about $1670 for it delivered. I ordered the aluminum Retraxpro XR because I wanted the option to install crossbars on the rails. I literally just installed it about an hour ago so there's not much I can say except for the looks. I think it looks super clean and nice. The installation took a little over an hour because I watched someones installation video on youtube. I can't speak for the water yet leakage yet but hopefully I can update you all one of these days.

For those looking for a good low/mid range option. I got the Gator EFX Hard Fold. Pleased with it. Low profile and good water protection. Got it for $600 w/tax shipped.

Hi Thunder

 

My local truck accessory guy doesn’t have a display of this yet and I want to see the top to understand what it’s made of. Can you elaborate for me in detail?

It looks like a soft vinyl. 

Do you think it will hold up over time in regards to creasing and the flip points?

I got to see one in person today. 
just want to make sure. 
the “folds” in the top are for lack of a better term dented or recessed? 
yours look smooth smooth where this one I saw has lines from side to side. 
thanks again.

Has anyone with the Undercover Ultraflex had issues getting the rail to lay flat?  The driver side rail is raised in the back and once the cover is on it is very noticeable. I tried adjusting the clamp but it doesn’t make a difference.  Wondering if the rail itself is warped or bent.

From the listing on the Xceed  - looks like it is vinyl coated aluminum.

That’s new on the site. That wasn’t there a few weeks ago. I kept trying to find out what it was in top. I did get one hoping it will be a good one.  The dealer didn’t even have a display of it yet. Ordered one in for me to look at and decide if I wanted it. I took it.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
