Hey guys,

I have it narrowed down to 4 different tonneau covers. Why this is alot, I am wanting some member feedback on them. I was googling a couple and seem to like the "Extang", "Truxedo", "Access", and finally the "Lund". Now, the "Access" being the most expensive at $400+ dollars makes turn away a little bit. But, the lund rollup coming in at the cheapest($250), makes me wonder the quality of that cover. I wanting a low profile cover that roll's up easy and want put a hurting on my wallet. If any of you guys could give some real life feedback, it would be fantastic!! :confused:

i'll offer my opinion...i just installed an extang full tilt...i'm partial to extang since i've had them on 2 previous trucks...they last long and i've never had a problem...i wanted a tilt this time but i also wanted snaps so i could roll it up if i was somewhere and needed to haul...it also comes off as one piece for hauling that i've planned...oh...i paid 308 shipped from truckaddons.com

I'll second the Extang Full-Tilt,I love mine,only I went with the "snapless" design for a cleaner look,I can still roll it up when I need to.

I'm not for sure of the brand of mine but I got it from Cabelas and it is the one that folds 2 times with the flip of 2 levers and then flip 2 more and it comes off the truck. Very handy with the quick release. I haul my atv in the back and take the cover with me to put on the bed after I unload it just to hide and keep things dry while camping.

I would not go with the Lund Genesis snap style. I just bought on, put it on, took it off after a week. It whipped around in the wind to much and it looked like a covered wagon!

I wouldn't mind the full tilt, but I was looking for a roll up cover. Has anybody tried "Extangs R/T" roll up cover or "Access" or "Truxedo"? Also, what made you choose a full tilt instead of a roll up? :confused:

I just got a Leer, mdl 700, that realy looks good. Fits like a glove. Was worried until I had it installed with Company Stating " custom fit". Well it is. Has less than an 1/8 inch all around. Clean, has head liner, hidden cables. You may want to check it out.

Extang is a good cover no matter which style you get,last truck I had I bought the platium cover,The 04 truck I got the Black Max(all the rails,bows are black)and the cover snaps all the way around.So if you want something from the front of the bed you just unsnap whichever side/behind the cab.The platium you can't do that!I paid $219 from summit

 

I also wanted to keep the SL tailgate cap/plastic wing deal,so I installed some of Summit racings Bed rail covers before I installed the tonneau cover and there is just enough clearance for the tailgate to close without catching on the rubber strip under the rear snap rail.

I had a Full-tilt on my ZR2 when I had it. Nice cover, it can roll up to the front of the bed or you can remove the frame and tarp as a unit, as others mentioned. When I sold the truck, the guy that bought it loved the functionality of it. Chalk up another vote for the FullTilt.

Another vote for the Extang Full-Tilt with snaps, got mine a few weeks ago love it . I painted the rails that stay on a flat black, so it would blend in with my black truck if I have to take it off .

Thanks for the opinions guys!! But, I went by my local "Truck Performance Center" and I am going to get an "Access" cover. That thing is top notch and I just fell in love with it!! :confused:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
