And within seconds of posting, Retrax announces 15% off sitewide.

On the retrax site with 15% and taxes it came to 1,275.38

I went to https://tonneaucovered.com/ and called them.  $1169 free shipping, no tax. Placed my order.  Retrax One XR, 6'7" standard bed.

The standard embark poly from GMC with the 25% off and tax would have been $1035.  Feel like I did pretty well. since the xr is usually $100 over the standard poly I would have only saved $34 had I been able to get it through GMC.  

Good luck and happy shopping guys!

Hey Phatty,  any idea how much space that Retrax One XR will take up in the front if the truck?  How far out and how far down will that cannister sit once recoiled?  Can you slide anything underneath it at the front of the truck when recoiled all the way?  I was thinking of keeping my Tri-Fold and then using a Weatherproof back of the truck cargo bag when I had to run with the Tri-Fold open.  It might allow for more bed space utilization that way

Ideally I wouldn't either, but it would be easy to add a couple strap points on the rail and strap across/etc without incurring the $500 expense of getting crossbars, basket, etc setup and having to deal with storage when not in use. I have a THULE rooftop bag that would be perfect to toss on top and strap to the rails.  A bit unrefined, I know...lol.

@phatty  - if you're ever interested in a KNOLLY, let me know, I can get you hooked up!PXL_20201119_211812427.thumb.jpg.5294a6172ebcf7e7148be61feb543551.jpg

I dont know much about the knolly! Looks like a 170/160mm alum frame enduro?

Finally got the cover from fedex today.  Making appointment for local shop to put it on.  Quoted me $150 for installation.  Sounds better than 2 hours of my time at 20 degrees outside (no heated shop for me).
Ill post up some pics once I have it on.

It looks like you can slide things underneath it all the way to the front of the bed up to 10"-12" high or so.  I just got it delivered yesterday, havent installed it yet.  It does stick out from the front of the bed to the tailgate about 8-10" and then down around a 8-10" as well.  Ill get some good measurements once installed.

Yeah, they don't get quite enough coverage IMO!  This is the Fugitive LT - 135mm rear, 150mm front...but they did just drop a 29er with 150-170 travel if you dig the big hits - I have one on order!

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
