Just took delivery of my 2021 AT4 and guess I assumed its the same as the 2020 but can’t seem to get a straight answer from dealers if the tonneau will fit....anyone have a 2021 also?

I understand boxes are generally standard sizes and the Tonneaus are usually universally mounted with some give and take. I’m surprised they won’t give you a straight answer though?
Take specs from the product & measure the box?
Did the dealer say there was a huge update from 20-21? How would they not know that info??

I did a quick google and only noted tech updates.

I have a 2020 AT4 5.3L w multipro gate. NON-carbon pro.

I researched for some time. I REALLY like the Extang Xceed tonneau cover I got. Its an aluminum fold wrapped with vinyl so it gives a seamless top look. Its like it’s not even there. It’s great. People compliment it all the time.

Distributed weight bearing up to 500lbs on top of it if you want to secure cargo. I’ve dumped some bikes up there under a cargo net during a quick dash from a rain storm (bed full and needed to stay dry). No scratches or dents.

Open close tailgate while down.

Secured from folding without opening tailgate.

But the weather stripping does prevent the gate from automatically dropping down with a nudge.

And it says it fits the 2021

An online dealer said no one has one for the 21.....but it sounds crazy as usually items fit multiple model years. 14-18 I think were all the same? I assume 19-21 too?

I just got a 2021 trail boss and to my amazement, my cover from my 18 went on perfectly. Took it off before trading the 18 in thinking I could sell it, and then once I started looking at it, I realized it would fit perfectly on the new TB. Hopefully this helps!

Since the part numbers for tonneau covers are the same for 20/21 on the GMC Accessories site, I think it's safe to say they will fit just fine.

I put a BAK MX4 on my 2021 AT4, non Carbon, with multi pro gate. It’s great, huge plus is the tailgate seal as you can close the gate or the tonneau in any order.

I just added the MX4 to my TB yesterday.  Install took about 30 minutes and is a huge upgrade from my previous Bakflip.

    • Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.         
    • Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up. 
    • Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas
    • Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?
    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
