I’ve been researching tri fold bed covers and am really interested in the Undercover Ultra Flex cover.  Any one have any experience with this particular cover?

Yes, and my advice would be to go with their ArmorFlex version as its much more durable with the Line-X type coating.

My UltraFlex was peeling and flaking in less then 3 years so they replaced it under warranty.

They stand behind their stuff and I'd definitely buy from them again.

 Or check the Discount Bandit price and take it to Real Truck for a price match. ?

Since your in Texas and I'm in Florida we both face the same havoc the Sun and high temperatures summer can bring.

North of the Mason Dixon the UltraFlex is probably fine but in the South or Southwest the ArmorFlex is the way to go.

Plus the 5 year warranty provides plenty of long term security with your purchase.

I run these covers on my last truck a 2016 Silverado 2500 HD, the new Silverado High Country I trying the Bak Revolver x4 for a different look.

Both are Truck Hero companies and are made within a few miles of each other in Missouri.

I had an ultra flex on my canyon but when I traded it for my Sierra, I got the Armor Flex. A little pricey but a nice cover.  I had BAK ones in past that didn't hold up as well.  Not entirely waterproof, but I knew that going in.

I have the armor flex. It actually came off my 2018 Silverado but the design didn’t change at all. Fits like a glove, and by far the best cover I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few

Thanks again for the replies.  I bought the Ultra Flex model after looking at all the different versions at the local dealer. Armor Flex is really nice but To me it looked just like my bed liner.  Dealer installed it comes with a 5 year warranty and dealer was able to sign me up for an additional five years by registering it.  I think they are pretty much the same cover other than one has the Line-X on the exterior and the other has carpeted under panels.   They both come with the integrated bed rail light which I didn’t really need.  All in all I am really pleased with the cover.  It appears very well built and looks good on the truck.

Congrats!

And the warranty is nice piece of mind should you decided to go a different direction downstream.

Enjoy!

I have the ultraflex and would recommend it to anyone.  Great customer service as well.  I was missing a clip on the support bar when it was delivered from Amazon and they fedexed me a bag of them.  Recently I broke the little retainer clip that hold the support bar against the truck bed rails and again they fedexed me a bag of them.

Looking at trifold cover option, I am curious what would be course of action if locking tailgate on truck failed to open.  I assume you would have to break cover in order to repair locking mechanism on the truck.   Am I right?

Nope. 

I'd just fish a coat hanger or similar up between the tailgate and the bed and snag the the release wire mechanism.

It may not be ideal and depending on your tools, skill and luck it could take a little or no time at all.

Has there been claims of the power tailgates not opening properly? What's the root cause of that issue?

But don't tell that to the crooks or they will be breaking into all these  covers!  I have a BAK F1 and that is all it would take.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
