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.

 No worries at all! I was able to find pictures online easy enough. Yep went ahead and got it, fits what I wanted to do perfectly! ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
