Does the RetraxPRO MX Make a Wide Rails Cover For the New Chevy Body Style?

Silverado Owner: I'm calling today to check on a Tonneau cover, a Retrax.

Peter: Okay. What model was it?

Silverado Owner: It's a RetraxPRO MX. You sent me a price quote in my email.

Peter: The matte finish?

Silverado Owner: Yeah, the matte finish. Yes, sir.

Peter: What truck was it for?

Silverado Owner: It was for a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado.

Peter: Okay. What was the bed length?

Silverado Owner: It's a short bed.

Peter: Okay. So I've got the RetraxPRO MX in stock. It's free shipping, and there's no sales tax.

Silverado Owner: And was that price for the wide rail for the Chevy?

Peter: No, that's not the wide rail. The wide rail would be $40 more. With the wide rails it increases the price on it.

Silverado Owner: Okay. It is the 2019 short bed, but did I mention it's a new body style?

Peter: Actually, and I apologize for the confusion, but for the new body style they actually do not make the wide rails.

Silverado Owner: Oh, they don't make the wide rails?

Peter: Right.

Silverado Owner: Okay. Well, I'm trying to figure out how it would work. It would just cover up half the stake hole?

Peter: That's right.

Silverado Owner: That's kind of weird. Do they make something that's cut ... I don't know what to do. What would you suggest if they don't ... Would you have something cut out for the stake, or do they make that, too?

Peter: They do not make that for the new body style.

Silverado Owner: So what it's going to do is cover up half the stake hole. That's kind of weird though, isn't it? 

Peter: It actually doesn't look that bad. It looks fine. You aren't really going to notice.

Silverado Owner: Let me try this. Yeah, let's go ahead and get that order in for the standard RetraxPRO MX.

Peter: Okay. So I'm going to get this shipped out right now. Give me just a second here. Okay.

Silverado Owner: And that comes with the seals, the back bed auto grade seal, all that stuff?

Peter: That's right. And I'm getting it in for shipping right now. There we go. I've confirmed it, so you're good to go.

Is the Undercover UltraFlex the Best Cover for a 2017 Silverado 1500?

Silverado Owner: I'm looking for the UnderCover Ultra Flex.

Peter: Okay. Nice, and what truck is it for?

Silverado Owner: It's a 2017 Silverado 1500 with the 5'8" bed.

Peter: Okay. Yep, we've got that here. I can offer free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

Silverado Owner: Okay. I got a quote from AutoAnything for a little less, but if you can throw in the tailgate seal, then I'll do it.

Peter: Okay. Yes, not a problem. I can throw that in. I'll match their price, too.

Silverado Owner: Do you know if that still comes with that saddlebag or not? I don't know if that was a promo.

Peter: Yeah, they stopped doing that, actually, but it still comes with the LED lighting.

Silverado Owner: Can you tell me if there's a comparable or better cover in this price range?

Peter: There's not. This is my favorite cover. I sell them like crazy. There's a comparable cover and it's made by BAK and it's called the MX4, but it's basically the exact same cover, even the finish on top, but the Ultra Flex has a five-year warranty, and the MX4 has a three-year, so you're right where you want to be.

Silverado Owner: I saw that. Okay, those are the two I had pretty much narrowed it down to other than, I'll be honest, a folding cover. I kept looking at it. I just like the feature of being able to open right behind the bed, but yeah. I think I'm happier now.

Peter: All right, so we've got the UnderCover Ultra Flex and the tailgate seal kit. Just so you know, you're going to probably receive the cover before you receive the seal kit because that's coming from our office here in Arizona, but you can install the cover first.

Silverado Owner: Okay, that's fine. That's fine. I appreciate that. I appreciate your help.

How Can I Get a Price Quote on SideSteps for my Chevy Silverado?

Chevy Owner: I received an email that asked a question about my Chevy Silverado pickup truck. I think we're talking about the side steps for it.

Peter: Okay, I would be happy to help.

Chevy Owner: I have the nerf bars on here, which fit fine, but they're really close to the body of the truck, and my wife is having difficult stepping on those to get into the truck.

Peter: Okay.

Chevy Owner: I was wondering, the ones that we were looking at, they looked like they are down a little bit lower and stick out a little bit more.

Peter: Do you know the make and the manufacturer?

Chevy Owner: I don't remember at this point, I just need the ones that are wider steps. They're four inches wide. And, they come down a little bit lower. 

Peter: I'd need the part number or at least the name of the ones that you're looking at.

Chevy Owner: Okay, well, I'll get back to you when I get a part number for it. I'll look at your email again and read it again and see if we have a part number on that.

Peter: Okay. Or even if you can just find the name of the ones you like I can pull up the part number and get you an accurate quote. 

Chevy Owner: So, all right. I'll get back to you. 

Pro MX Price Difference for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 When Opting for Stake Pocket Cutouts

Chevy Silverado Owner: I was inquiring online about Retrax bed covers, Tonneau covers, and I wanted to get a quote on one, and that, apparently, I've got to get over the phone.


Sean: Okay. What's the truck?

Chevy Silverado Owner: It's a 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500. With the short bed; 6'6 bed.


Sean: You're looking at the Pro or the One?

Chevy Silverado Owner: Looking at the MX. I think.

Sean: The aluminum version?

Chevy Silverado Owner: Yeah the Pro MX. Do you have to specify whether you want the cutouts on the bed and all that? Does that matter in the price?

Sean: It does. Do you want something special there?

Chevy Silverado Owner: Well, no, I mean what I want is the one that has the cutouts for the little post holes in the bed.

Sean: The cutouts would be roughly an extra $60 and free shipping and no tax outside of Arizona.

Chevy Silverado Owner: Okay. You know, I think I want to order it.

Sean: Okay. Let's go ahead and do that.

What is the Best BAK Tonneau Cover for a 2017 Chevy Silverado?

Chevy Silverado Owner: Do you have the tonneau covers that roll up? The ones that are solid aluminum that lock down and that nobody can cut into?

Peter: Are you referring to a retractable cover?

Chevy Silverado Owner: Yup. It's not a Retrax though, you roll it up like one of the cheap cloth ones.

Peter: Okay.

Chevy Silverado Owner: The only thing is I think they call it a Rolltech or something like that. You roll it up like one of the cheap ones and it's solid aluminum underneath with a vinyl layer on top.

Peter: Yes. So BAK makes ones, the Revolver X4, and that's probably the most popular. But yeah, it has aluminum slats underneath and then it's a matte black vinyl on top.

Chevy Silverado Owner: Yes, the Revolver X4 is what I'm looking for.

Peter: Okay. What truck is it for?

Chevy Silverado Owner: It's a 2017 Chevy Silverado with a six and a half foot bed.

Peter: Okay. I've got it for a great price right now including free shipping, and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

Chevy Silverado Owner: Sounds good.

What's the Best Tonneau Cover for a a 2019 Chevy Silverado with crew cab and a 5 foot, 8 inch bed?

Chevy Silverado Owner: I just got a 2019 Chevy Silverado with the crew cab with a 5 foot, 8 inch bed and I sent an email request last night to find out about tonneau covers

Peter: Okay. Which cover are you looking at?


Chevy Silverado Owner: I'm looking for a hard top, a foldable hard top. I want it to have a little bit more security.

Peter: Was there a particular brand or model you were looking at?


Chevy Silverado Owner: I've looked at a few online... I want to say it was a Gator.

Peter: Okay. Gator's, one of the only brands we don't sell. As, far as hard folding covers the most popular are going to be the BakFlip models. They're tri-folds but they can fold completely up out of the bed and secure behind the cab. So you'll have full use of your bed when you need too. They're very versatile.


Chevy Silverado Owner: Let's see, I think that was maybe one of the ones I was looking at; the BAKFlip G2 tonneau cover. That's what I'm looking at right now. So yeah that hard folding that's probably what I'm going to get, for pricing that's probably definitely what I was looking for.

Peter: Ok, great!

Chevy Silverado Owner: It's not a bad price from what I've seen anyways, quite a bit of difference. Let me, do you guys do financing too?


Peter: Yes.


Chevy Silverado Owner: Okay, so that's probably the best way for me to get it so I won't be paying for that outright. Alright, Peter let me give you a call back in a little bit, let me figure out what's going on. I should be able to do something this week.

Peter: Okay let me know.
