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.

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.

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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
