Hey all, 

 

I just got in a Tyger T3 Auto Tri-fold cover in for my 19 sierra. I put it on and noticed there's still a small gap where the back of the tonneau meets the tailgate AND it stops the auto drop tailgate. 

 

Question is, any of you guys experience something similar with other covers? More so on the auto-drop tailgate feature. And if you could, recommend some good covers that aren't the cost of 4 new tires please ?

I'm having a heck of a time finding one that doesn't cost $500 or more.

Well the tyger tonneau seems to be great build quality, the engineering on the other hand..... not too sure. Its cheap money wise.

I just put on a Rough Country tri fold today. Just barely reaches tailgate, still seals, and doesnt affect power gate.

Did you get the hard fold or soft fold?

Gotta love the Truxedo TruXport.  I put one on my ‘14 Silverado then my ‘16 Colorado and just put one on my ‘19 Sierra.  My Colorado came with a soft tri fold but it was always in the way and I had to take it off constantly.  The TruXport rolls completely against the back window and is out of the way.  The Velcro is wide on the sides and holds tightly.  It seems to be one of the cheapest options out there which is a bonus.  The tailgate does not auto drop all of the time, but it has only been on for a few days, so we’ll see.

can anyone confirm the newer styles are actually 1"longer bed?

 

I have an opportunity to get a hard-fold for $300 but it is off a K2 (2016) which states 6'6" vs the 6'7" of the newer style.

that looks nice. Thanks for the pictures! Do you have the auto drop tailgate on there? And you said it doesnt affect it?

Silverados are all like GMC except for LTZ & High Country trims.

I have 2019 quad cab trail boss.  Got a soft trifold trifecta 2.0 frim extang.  Quality is great...but i am not happy with it.  I loved the trifecta on my 2011 quad cab, but on this truck it leaks near the cab in both corners and at the stake pockets in the rear.

 

It also prevents the tailgate from coming down and makes it hard to even open.  

 

Sigh.

I just ordered the rough country. I am hoping this one doesnt leak or affect auto-drop. Ill let you know this week!

I ended up getting the BAK Industies  Revolver X4 and I LOVE it. So sleek and low profile. Great protection and easy to use.

Total cost including tax was $1200 installed... but it was so worth it!

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
