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.

I just put one on my 2020 AT4 and everything works fine, multigrade tailgate opens every which way.  no worries.

 

Hope that helps

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.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

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

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
