I’ve got the BakFlip MX4 on my 20 AT4. It looks awesome and very well made. Takes a little adjusting to get just right but fits mine great and the auto tail gate works just fine. If you go this route, I’d suggest going by a parts store and getting a better automotive grade rubber weather strip for the front edge. The foam type that comes with it is kinda cheap.

I have the Extang Xceed, I can drop the whole tailgate manually or with the remote, and put the whole tailgate up without touching the cover, but just opening and closing the upper multipro part, does require opening the cover first.

I have the BakFlip F1 on my standard bed with the MultiPro gate.  As stated above, fits perfectly.

I have the Gator aluminum tri-fold. Just put it on this most Saturday. Took me 30 minutes without a helper. So far so good and works fine with the Multi-Pro. Lays flat with the top of the bed rails.

Thanks for all the input....just want to buy a cover that doesn’t interfere with the automatic function of the tailgate.

Thanks again

Extang told me all of their bed covers will interfere with the Multipro tailgate. Is the Exceed a hard top or vinyl?

Have the same cover on my 2019 AT4. And agree with above post.  And I second the recommendation on the front seal.  Wish I had done that before installing.

I have the same cover. Install was quick, operation is easy, haven't noticed water in the bed after washes. Overall it is a good looking and functioning cover for the money!

I agree, looks good and installs quickly. we've had rain but  I haven't been in the bed to check for water. Works just fine with the auto tailgate also.

 

You have the Carbon-Pro Bed?

No, I have the regular bed. I'm kind of glad I didn't get a carbon pro, seems like most of the covers wont work without drilling.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
