As much as I like the design and the sleek look of these track mounted tonneaus, They weren't going to work out for me. I haul a couple 30.5 inch wide kayaks in the bed and the tracks encroached on the width. So I choose to go old school top rail Extang Solid Fold 2.0. Not as pretty but does the job.

Installed LoMax tri-fold hard cover tonneau this am. Moderately easy install. Needed my buddy's help to lift the cover onto the truck bed. Not as young or strong as I used to be. Definitely not a one

I went with the GatorTrax, very pleased!

Yes, the tailgate opens/closes easily with the cover in place. I have the LoMax tri fold.

I have the A.R.E. Fusion. Came pre painted to match exterior truck color. Very happy with minimal water leaks.

Hi MCM3M

Do you have a picture of the Fusion on your truck?  

 

I really like the fusion but it looks difficult to remove if needed?

The LoMax and the fusion are my top picks so far.

Just got a 2020 AT4 same color. How does the Solidfold work with the multi pro and auto drop tailgate. 

 

I had the Extang on my 2016 Denali I just traded in and it did me well. 

 

I'm stuck, and mostly just want something lockable.

Remove two clamps up front and lift completely off (might need help lifting).

Here are a couple of pics...

The seal on the cover bears down on the top rail of the tailgate. The auto drop feature is hindered by this. It unlocks then you have to give it a little help then it come down on its own.. I'm assuming just about any cover will do that to make a good seal. I've only had it on a couple days maybe the seals will soften up over time.  As far as the Multipro everything seems to be functional, but once again it may need a little tug to get top to open with the tailgate up. Other than that I really like the cover.  I had Extang Trifecta Soft Folds on my 14 and 16 The Solid Fold is a definite upgrade.

Went with the Roll-n-lock A-Series today!! UWS under tonneau utility chest fits great underneath. 
 

I’m a big fan of the retractable roll up style and the RNL fits snugly in a small canister. 
 

I put my 6-month old Bakflip Fibermax for sale in the classified section in case anyone’s interested on 30% off new price!

Awesome bed cover.  I am researching bed covers again since it appears that Steffens Automotive, the maker of fold-a-cover has closed permanently.  I really like this ARE cover! The website doesn’t list this cover for a 2020 GMC 2500 HD though.  Have any of you seen one like this on a 2020 2500 HD?

The GM Cover sucks.  I have the hard folding one i believe it's from Rev.  $1,000 cover, it's not water proof, has big gaps in the corners, you have the add a bunch of weatherstripping, and....mine is actually drilled through the bed rails and not clamped so i have zero adjustment.  If i knew that ahead of time i never would have gotten it.  It's also a PITA if you ever need to uninstall it quickly to get full access to the bed. The dealer installed it like garbage, and it was preventing my tailgate from closing all the way.  I had to take the folding part off, then take a dremel and grind our the clamp slots since I cannot adjust the alignment due to the rails being bolted to the bed rails. 

 

The upside is that it is lockable, and it opens up at the bulkhead as well which is extremely convenient!

Would you buy this again? I just posted without seeing your picture.  Is this the M series or A series? I'm looking to replace my current cover and would like one like yours. Any chance you can send a picture of it rolled up into the canister so we can see it's size in relation to the bed and clearance below to the deck? THANKS!

Sorry I missed this been on vacation  Looks like you already got one congratulations.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
