So I just bought a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 AT4 that is replacing my 2012 GMC 2500 GFX.  The new truck was bought to pull a 5th wheel.  I want a hard folding tonneau cover for the truck.  I am between the GMC REV industries cover ($1100) at the dealer or the Bak Industries MX4 ($1400).  Does anyone have any pics and input on these 2 covers.  I know the MX4 will allow the bed camera to still be used.  Does the GMC one allow this as well?  Ive heard Rev is just a private branded Bak cover that manufactures rebrand for sale at dealerships.  Pics of the new truck and camper and a side by side with my old truck.

Have you checked out the Undercover Armor Flex folding cover? I purchased and installed one a month ago. I previously had an Undercover Ultra Flex on my 1500 and it worked great. The new Armor Flex works even better. Almost zero water in bed. The linex coating looks great as well.

Just looked at it but don't like how the cover blocks the camera on the 3rd brake light when folded up

I have the hard folding rev/bak cover and its not a perfect fit...its good quality otherwise but either my dealer messed it up or they havent adjusted well to the bigger beds.  It hasnt bugged me enough to send it back, but I do need to plug holes for water intrusion

Where is the water getting in.  I'm thinking around the tail gate for sure.  That multipro is probably going to be had to get a seal around

Just got my BakFlip MX4 yesterday for my new 2500. I bought mine from AutoAnything. If you call them on the phone and tell them you're a forum member here, they will knock some money off.  I paid $917.72 shipped to my door

Its the corners closest to the back of the cab.  Huge gaping holes that are not sealed by weatherstripping.  The tailgate seems fine to be honest, especially after i bought the stake covers

Just finished installing my BakFlip MX4 and I have zero large gaps. Now i'm not claiming its gonna be water tight and I don't need it or expect it to be. As long as the stuff in the bed is semi-secure and not getting directly rained on, i'm good with it.

This is with it up. You can still see out of the rearview camera just fine

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By TheRiver · Posted

      IMNTBHO;  the worst thing for the 6L80 is to be lugged down to low engine rpm while in high gear......AKA, to save fuel.   I rarely use D on my '16 with the 6L80 and use M mode to keep engine RPM above 1500 at the speed I'm driving, which is also benefiticial for the tranny because line pressure is kept up because the pump is actually turning a decent speed, and it's not always hunting to drop to the next gear to lower the engine RPM's.   Never above 30mph.............M3, maybe M4 if just driving thru a small NoDak town Never above 40mph............M4 Never above 50-55mph.............M5   This is way better for the tranny and the engine.........especially if AFM is still active.   262K miles on my OEM 6L80 as I type this.

      If they had nuclear material for "11 nukes" we'd have seized it.    Our military has been rendered either too weak/dumb to seize it, or they don't have it. Your pick,K-nut. Because right now we're fighting over who gets to toll oil tankers in the strait.    I hope you're man enough to admit you've been taken for a ride when it's finished.

      And you're obviously full of it too.  Apparently anything he does is perfect to you.  Don't you think this whole ordeal would have been better if he had maybe thought it all through first before bombing Iran at the request of his bffs in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar?  They are the ones that had the biggest issue with Iran.  Thus they have been pouring the platitudes and giving gifts/bribes to him.  Had he thought about the consequences of what would happen to the Strait before starting anything, we wouldn't have this issue.  Now he is stuck with no way out of this mess.  But you have your head stuck way deep in his rabbit hole to see anything else.  So no, I don't have TDS.  I see what he is.  The derangement is yours from no oxygen in the rabbit hole.

      Bringing of the fact that every President has said the same thing. They can’t have nukes. I guess you missed that before epic fury they said they had enough product for 11 nukes and weren’t giving it up. That not political or polarizing. The opposition of that is and giving aid to the enemy. The mandate is decades old through many administrations. The difference is TDS.
