I have the Under Cover Armor Flex and love it. Does not interfere with the tail got function at all. You can push button open and close with the top completely closed. I have only had a few drops of water enter the bed once and it was after driving in the pouring rain for two hours. It was right in the corners of the back of the bed where the top of the gate and bed cover meet

I just put a Retrax on mine this weekend. Takes two to install, but doesn’t take long. Doesn’t tamper with the tailgate at all. Even got to keep the old man assist handle in the bed. I have no comments about water intrusion yet.

What is it specifically that's supposed to be so problematic with the MP tailgate that doesn't exist with a standard one?  I just don't see the difference.

Really want one of these, but having a hard time with the price. Is it easy to get a deal on one somewhere?

 

PS, kind of regretting getting the black truck instead of the white!

I just kept checking Retrax.com and they had a sale going. It also says to call for the best price. So maybe mention that you just missed the sale??

I have the Revolver X4.  Since I have a CarbonPro bed, I thought finding a cover was going to be impossible with the GM ones being the only option.  Anyway, got some custom clamps made and fit was perfect as it can get (i'm a little on the OCD side).  Install was easy and use and functionallity is perfect for me.  Product and overall cost was a little on the high side but I definetly do not regret it....I often try to remember that you usually get what you pay for because I am rather cheap and in the past I wound up buying things twice cuz I wanted to save...LOL.  As far as water tightness, I haven't had any experience yet because I doesn't rain much in my part of the Island but I am hoping there wont be any issues.  After installation, I checked from the inside and saw no gaps (no light showing through) so I am assuming its as tight as it can be.

I installed a Gatortrax MX on mine. Same exact cover as the Retrax just branded Gatortrax. They run a little cheaper than the Retrax and I got it on sale also so it was 200 plus less.

Thanks, I’ll take a look!

I had a Revolver X4 on the F150 I just traded in. LOVED it!  Even got it for around $750 on some random Amazon deal. It’s high on the list for this truck, but I keep reading about figment issues on the MP Tailgate, though I’m can’t seem to understand what the figment issues actually are. Don’t have the CarbonPro. 
 

Have always liked Retrax-type, so I’m considering those as well.

I got the RetraxPro MX installed yesterday. Does not interfere with the multipro tailgate. Love it. Glad I made the purchase.

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

Was the seal on the bakflip f1 cheap like the mx4?

      2026 Silverado ECM location

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
