Looking to add a tonneau to my new AT4 and wondering if folks have any suggestions. In particular, I'm looking at two Bakflip models:

 

 

Have you guys had any experience with either and which would you recommend?

Buddy of mine has the Revolver. Looks nice and of the same quality as the other BAK products. The cover has to be closed first then the tailgate. There was interference with top of the tailgate and cover such that he has to lift up the cover to close the tailgate. It's nice to roll up and look out the back window. 
I chose the Undercover Ultra Flex over the MX4. The finish matches the bed rails better and I prefer how it stands up when fully open rather than leaning on the back glass. Other than that they are pretty much the same.

Thanks for the insight. I realize there are a few other forum topics that align with this one so I appreciate it, as I was picking between the two BAK products. Now, I'm actually looking at the retractable models from Retrax... super pricey and you lose some bed space, but quality seems good and I like the fact that my back window isn't blocked (the rail capable system is also pretty ******).

Where are you located?  Retractable tonneau covers tend to freeze in place if you're anywhere that experiences winter.  I haven't had a problem with my quad fold bakflip aside from the lip freezing to the tailgate (which is easy enough to pry off.)

Good point. I'm in Phoenix... So I'm less worried about snow and rain, and more worried about heat, dust, and thieves. 

 

I'll note that we do a lot of late fall hunting up north, so snow is a factor but really only 2 weeks out of the year.

Ugh. Dust...  I'm not sure if the T1s are as bad as the K2s, but be sure to pick up some weather stripping to go around your tailgate.  Unless you want everything in the bed covered in dust any time you leave the pavement.

Just put this Gatortrax cover on, really like the quality and functionality of this cover! My previous truck had an Extang Encore Trifold, wanted a roll up cover this time, not disappointed!!  With this setup having an unobstructed floor bed works well, the roll up box seem very unobtrusive!

I have the rolling style X4 on my '20 AT4, works very well so far function wise and when rolled up you can still see. Figured it would work better than some of the others for snow/ice time. Only thing I have issue with is the small gap where the tailgate meets with corners.

That looks great man. I was really considering the Retrax but ended up going with the BakFlip.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
