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.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
