I just got a 2019 Silverado trail boss.  It came with a sports bar and a hard bed cover. The issue is I cant open the bed cover because the sports bar is in the way. Since it angles in, the 1st flap of the bed cover hits it and wont open.  The guy at Chevy said that even a soft cover wont work because those tracks stick further out on the side and it would be pinned under the sports bar mount. I'm not really looking to spend 2 grand on a retractable one. Any suggestions?

You still won't be able to open all the sections, but what about a hard folding tonneau that mounts with rails inside the edge of the bed?  I'm thinking something the UnderCover Ultra Flex that I have.  The mounting rails are inside the bed rail and only the weather seal sits on top of the bed rail.  

 

I"m no expert, but I'd guess you need to choose between retractable tonneau with the sports bar, any tonneau you want but no sports bar or some limitation that the sports bar imposes on the tonneau.

I just installed an Access original roll-up on my AT4.  It installs on the inside of the bed rails and rolls up like 6-8" tall .

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see why that wouldn't work on yours and they are less than $500.

Thank you.  What I have now is a hard folding tonneau cover. But as you said I cant open the cover all the way.  Only the first flap will open.  It looks like I have to get rid of the the sports bar even though I really like the way it looks.

Chevy dealer said that for the 2019 they don't make the rollup covers that go inside the bed.  it will sit under where the sports bar is screwed into the bed.

Your dealer is mistaken as various aftermarket companies have rollup tonneau covers for the 2019+ GM trucks.

Check out the websites for Access, Truxedo, etc to find one that would work with your application.

 

I have a Truxedo Edge for my 2020 TB.

My Access Cover fits inside perfectly.  Now if the Sports Bar mounts to the inside of the bed in any way, it might interfere with the way the cover mounts.  Without a picture of the mounting hardware it's hard to know.  I have seen some posts from Colorado and Canyon owners that have installed a soft roll up cover with the sports bar.

Here's a pic of mine installed with the carbon pro bed and it's inside the bed rails.

Thank you. And this should fit a 2019 Silverado Trail Boss?  Can I have the part number please?

Thank you.  I called Truxedo and explained what I needed and they were able to recommend something for me.  So I ordered it and we'll see if that softcover works.

The soft rollup tonneau from GM Accessories will work. It's about $500.

I was looking at the Chevy soft roll-up cover the other day. How do you like it? 

 

On the Chevy Accessories website, it looks lower profile (like a Truxedo LoPro) than it does on your video.

I don't like it, which is why I didn't get it. I have the Rough Country hard trifold. I wanted something more secure and water resistant than a soft rollup tonneau. That's also not my video. It's one I came across a few months back while researching tonneau covers that'll work with the sport bar. Seeing this thread reminded me of the video.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.

      oh ya that's good to know - I would rather use a gear than the brakes down a long hill.  I would not let cruise control take over on snow or towing a trailer for sure on hills anyway.     The other thing about the CO trip was that was all done above 6K feet for the most part, so that has to use more gas as the motor is down a good amount of power up there.   If I drove my 2016 Camaro with a very similar V8 to this 6.6 it would probably get about 23-24 on the fast run up to NE.  But the premium fuel premium is steep here in CO, so it would still only save about $40 in overall costs for the round-trip.  And you sure can't carry much gear in a convertible camaro!
