For those of you with a 2020 HD and a MX4, when the cover is completely folded up against the back window, does it block the review view camera or the bed gooseneck hitch camera?

I want to have all my bed space for toys and or a gooseneck hitch. My cover on my last truck was a fold-a-cover hard folding and it took up a good foot of the bed when folded up.

Thanks!

Installed a Retrax RetraxPRO XR yesterday.  Fit and finish is excellent.  The aluminum rails and slats look at home on this truck - the matte powder coating blends well and easily compliments the whol

Also can you open and close both tailgate and cover separately? Tailgate works when cover is closed and locked?

It does not block the camera, the cover and tailgate will close regradless of the others position. to open, you must open at least the top part of the multipro in order to open the cover.

Just ordered up a MX4 online for $775+ tax.  Most amazing part is it shipped from Indiana to Syracuse in 2 days.
 
Now to get my truck....



Mind sharing the site you ordered from?

just installed the BAK roll up cover, not sure how i feel about it. i had the hard flip cover on my last truck, it blocked the entire rear window (issue solved with rear camera mirror) but the longer bed of the 2500 requires a top plate that sticks out 6" into the truck bed.

so i figured i would try the roll up cover. i guess its easier to open by way of rolling it up, but the strap latches seem like they face the wrong direction. doesn't allow the roll to roll all the way up!

i think if i turn the buckles around i can get it to roll up farther and stay more secure.

it looks nice, i guess we have to see how long it lasts.

i really wish someone made a hard cover that weighs about half as much, and has a quick easy release so you can remove the whole damn thing in under a minute. has the ability to stow it alongside one the bed rails so you can truly have FULL access to the bed if you need to load an ATV or something like that and still close the tailgate.

i guess i am going to have to modify it with some thumb wheel nuts so it can be a tool-less removal and some straps along the bedside to stow it.

ill decide if it's worth the effort based on how many times i need the full access.

I messaged them from the F150 forum I am on but if you contact them I'd imagine they will match the deal.

Where does the power come from on the Retrax Pro powered unit?

Just installed my MX4 on my AT4. Those of you who have the same setup, what did you do with the drain lines? The holes on the floor of the bed upfront are too small to run the tube. The standard AT4 liner appears to be blocking whatever the factory drains are unless it’s behind this plug?

Was hesitant to pull it out as I suspect it hods the liner in.

Pretty sure it’s this plug. Will test it by running a little water in there and see if it drops below the truck!! [emoji23][emoji23]

I climbed under the truck and looked to see where the water is going. It ultimate makes its way to the ground. We’re dumping water on a few items that are sealed in plastic. I have no idea what they’re or what their function is. Mostly plastic so should be ok. It’s a minimal amount of water. My old truck and cover didn’t even have this option to dump water and it stayed dry in my bed.

the passenger side drains nicely, the drivers side is above the fuel inlet and leaks through the seem between the side and the floor of the bed, its minimal but that area does get wet in the rain.

very impressed with the Retrax Pro XR.. it's got the T-slot rail that takes most aftermarket roof rack manufacturers (Thule/Yakima/etc).

 

I picked up two of them and got them for about $1,600/ea

I got my Retrax Pro MX today, ordered from Amazon for just under $1600. Installation took some time and troubleshooting getting the rails lined up and the driver side rail needed a slight notch put into it to clear the assist bar. I called Retrax and they said a few customers have had the same problem and some have not, and they encouraged me to make a notch in the rail and assured it would not void warranty.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
