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.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
