Truxedo LoPro on 2020 AT4?

Ok, so I've read through multiple threads on tonneau covers on here, but none answer the question I have, so here it goes....  I had a LoPro on my 2014 Sierra, and liked it, until it started leaking, because the foam in the front of the bed fell out.  I'm taking the blame for that one, because I installed it myself and probably didn't do it right (lesson learned).  Other than that, I loved the features.

 

I want to go with the same cover again, on my 2020 AT4, but my main concern is the power opening tailgate.  Does anyone on here have the SAME tonneau cover listed, with the MultiPro tailgate, and if so, does it interfere with the auto down feature, or the use of the tailgate in anyway?

 

I'd rather try to avoid buying a cover from the Stealer, which seems nearly twice as expensive as this LoPro, and not as nice, simply because it "works" with the power tailgate.  

 

Again, please let's keep this thread on point, and ONLY if you have a LoPro on your Sierra with a power down tailgate.

I don't have a Sierra, but I do have the power up/down tailgate on my LTZ (non Multi-Pro obviously).  It works with zero issues.  I do notice seepage in the bed after moderate amounts of rain, but with what I keep back there, I am good with it.

 

I think I got mine on Amazon for around $450.

Even when pushing the tailgate button inside the cab?  The Tailgate fully deploys?

I have it on my AT4 with no issues. It does come with a long weather strip which is optional, probably for non multipro tail gates and I have 0 leaks.

Yes.

 

Goes down with cab button and key fob.

I have a Sierra SLT with the Multi-Pro gate with auto open. It's not the power gate. LoPro works fine on mine. The tailgate doesn't hang up at all.

 

I would take a closer look at it if you have the power tailgate. Because of how the seal on the tailgate works you need to open the tonneau cover before the gate gets closed.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant the auto open / down feature.  I wasn’t aware that they had an auto up / down tailgate?  Maybe it’s only on the Chevy’s?  
 

thank you everyone for the input.  Ordering my LoPro today.

Tailgate release work just fine from inside the truck with the Truxedo brand tonneaus. I have the Truxedo X15 Pro cover on my 2020 AT4, and have released it numerous times for the cab.

Ok, got my LoPro delivered today.  Going through the destructions.   Only question I have is did any of you use the bulkhead seal with a spray in bed liner or no?

I installed it without the foam.  I’ll see if it leaks.  If so then I’ll install it.

I am looking at the Lo Pro as well for my new Silverado.  I have had one on my RAM for 6 years with no problems at all.  I am leaning toward the Pro X15 because of the fabric instead of vinyl.  Note that the Truxedo has two different ones for the Pro X15, one with and one without the Mulipro tailgate, but not the Lo Pro.  The problem with the Lo Pro is the rubber strip that seals to the top of the tailgate. The rubber seal can sit on top of the tailgate plastic cap or fold down inside the tailgate when you close it after latching the top.  I never figured out if you were supposed to latch the tonneau first or close the tailgate first then latch the tonneau.

I am in the market for a Soft Roll-up for my new 2021 Silverado RST.. I have narrowed it down to the Access Lorado (~500), the Truxedo Lo Pro (~$400) and the Gator SRX... Can you give us a review on yours... Thnaks, Dan

Wow, almost a two year old topic!   So far, the only time it leaks is when I go through the touch free car wash (high pressure), and even then, it is slight.  Still no foam installed.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
