Hi All,

 

I read through some threads about tonneau covers but there is a very specific criteria for 2019+ Denali especially as they have the multi pro tailgates and the carbon pro bedliners. I see there is a bakflip model and many of the expensive extractables, etc. I am looking specifically a soft tri-fold that does not interfere with the gate and hopefully does not require trimming the bed liner. I would even settle for a roll up. Only other requirement is needs to lock so it can only be released with the tailgate open. 

 

Tell me what you got and what you got to work!

I bought the BAK tri fold hardtop MX4. I had originally bought the BAK revolver rollup. It separated on day one and they wanted to warranty it! NOPE this is day one, take it back. Then went with tri fold BakFlip MX4. High quality works great, locks in each position, does not interfer with tailgate. It is a nice quality piece. At the price point of a new Denali I wasnt going to put 90's tech vinyl roll up top on her! This fits it and matches it perfectly. Install was easy maybe 30 minutes.

I purchased PN 84791287 and had it installed at the dealer. It is a high quality flush mount tonneau.

It's not a soft foldable, but

 

RetraxOne is lockable with key (and any position)

Multipro maingate can be opened with cover open or closed (and/or locked)

Inner gate can be opened with cover open or closed (and/or locked)

Cover can be opened/closed without opening tailgate. 

 

Bought one for a then new '16 1500. 2 years later moved it to a new '18 2500 Denali

If GM hadn't changed the box dimensions, it would be on this '21 1500 Denali.

Sold it and bought a new one. 

 

RetraxOne is the polycarbonate version.

There is also RetraxPro, the aluminum version.

 

 

I had a hard tri-fold on the truck prior to the '16.

It was one that required tailgate to be opened to access latch to open cover (or I supposed a bent piece of metal cold be slipped in to operate the latch)

Also required the tailgate to be closed prior to closing the cover.

'20 Denali Carbon Pro w/multi-pro tailgate. I went with the GMC soft tri-fold tonneau cover. Dealer installed bracket on carbon pro bed to mount the cover to. It is a good fit and nice look but it is not lockable. PN: 84791288

So you can open it without opening the tailgate first? :(

It's not a soft cover, but I installed the Bakflip MX4 on my truck and you can open & close tailgate w/o needing to open the cover. I do know they make one that fits the carbon pro bed as well.

No. You cannot open unless you open tailgate first, but it doesn't have a physical "lock". 

Thanks for the clarification. That would make it doable for me. I just have to see if I can figure out what that bracket is then.

I had a retrax on my 2014.  I won't buy another one.  After a couple of yeara, it leaked badly all down both sides and at spots in the middle.  Retrax warrantied the cover, but I had to buy new rails.  Still leaked.  

 

For long trips, I ended up putting a roof top bag in the back end and storing stuff in it inside the closed bed.

This one works with my 2021 AT4 - the top part of the tailgate won't release while this is closed, but the whole gate will.  There is no hard lock on the outside of the tonneau cover, but it can only be released after the gate is lowered.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
