Sport bar with hard tonneau cover?

I just got my '19 trailboss a few months ago and a recent trip with the family has highlighted my need for a hard tonneau cover. I love the look of the sport bars with the sport assist steps on the trailboss package and would like to add one to my truck as I have already ordered the assist steps. I know there are several soft cover options available that would be compatible with the sport bar but I really need the security of a hard cover. Does anyone out there know of any of the hard tonneau covers (roll-up, retractable, tri-folds) that may work with minor alterations?

 

Or if someone has the sport bar installed and could send me the inside measurements I may be able to figure it out myself. From videos I have seen it looks as if the new bar doesn't have the large bracket protruding into the bed like the previous one. 

 

Thanks in advance!

I have saw pictures of previous generations with retractable covers, took a little modification to make it work. I am just hoping to figure out the cover that will take the least amount of modification (I would rather void the warranty on the cover than the truck)

I agree, my truck is 6 months old, not looking to void the warranty on the parts I had installed. I have an e-mail into my guy at the dealership that does all my work. See if he has any idea's. We can't be the only ones to ever ask LOL

Good Morning,

 

You wont be able to fit a sport bar on a truck with a hard tonneau.. as it won’t be able to flip open properly..

 

Usually the only one you can fit is a soft roll tonneau cover, sorry for the bad news!

 

Hope you are having a good Friday so far.

Yeah, I'm thinking a retractable will be the only possibility rather than a soft roll-up

Part number for the soft gm cover for short bed with sports bar? I had an 18 all terrain x standard bed with sports bar and found a gm cover that worked p# 19355363. Looking for another for a 2021 shortbed. I ordered the soft cover from gm p# 19416979 and unfortunately it covers the front bed stake holes where the bars mount

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
