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.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
