Should I Purchase an Extang or a BAK Tonneau Cover for My GMC Sierra?

Peter: Looks like you were interested in the Extang Solid Fold. 2.0 for your new GMC Sierra?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yeah. You know I've been doing a little bit of research over the weekend too. It seems like that has a lot of bad reviews, like in terms of leaking. So is there one that you would suggest?

Peter: The most popular ones are going to be the BAKFlip models. Those were designed with drain channels that lead to drain tubes that keep the water out of the bed. So it's just a different design and it's a little more water resistant for sure.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. Yeah. So when I was looking at those, cause I did, I started looking at some of those as well. What is the, I guess what's the advantage? I mean the other one seems to come off a lot easier. Right. But none of them seem to be real hard to take off.

Peter: Right. So there are a couple of advantages. One, they sit flush inside the bed rail, so it's got a more low profile appearance than the Extang. It's also a trifold, but it can fold completely up out of the bed and secure behind the cab. So you have full bed access. So it's a much more versatile than the Extang.

GMC Sierra Owner: Now I saw, there's a couple of different models of those as well. Right. I thought I saw two different models.

Peter: Yeah. The most popular by far is going to be the BAKFlip MX4.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay.

Peter: That one, it has a really nice matte black finish that people like as well. Anything you order will have free shipping and there's no sales tax.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. Now that one, in terms of I have the new body type, my truck's the new body type. Will it fit?

Peter: Yes.

GMC Sierra Owner: I'll have to call back, but I have another question. How about like a bed rail for that truck? You carry those as well?

Peter: A bedrail?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yes. I'm looking for the chrome bars, I usually call them bed rails, but I don't know what they referred to as. They're kind of like the tubular bars that would just go kind of north south on the back of the bed.

Peter: Oh, got you. Yeah. You're going to have a few different options there. I know that Putco makes some. They kind of range in price, but I could get a couple of options ready for you.

GMC Sierra Owner: Oh, that'd be great. Yeah, that'd be great.

Peter: Okay, no problem. I'll put that together and then we'll talk to you in a little bit.

GMC Sierra Owner: Yeah, if you give me a little bit, maybe towards mid afternoon, I'll give you a call back.

How to Order the Correct WeatherTech Floor Mats for a 2018 GMC Sierra

GMC Owner: I wanted to ask about floor mats. Do you guys carry the factory type, heavy duty floor mats? Or WeatherTech? Or, what?

Paul: We do carry WeatherTech.

GMC Owner: I was looking on your website, and it only goes up to 2016. Can you help me order the right ones for my truck?

Paul: Absolutely. What kind of truck do you have? 

GMC Owner: 2018 GMC Sierra crew cab.

Paul: Do you have a console? All the way to the dash?

GMC Owner: Yeah, it's all the way to the dash.

Paul: Okay. And then no manual 4 X 4 on the floor, right?

GMC Owner: Nope. No manual 4X4

Paul: Okay. You want first row, second row, or both? 

GMC Owner: First and second row, please. 

Paul: Okay, do you need full coverage? It's looks like there's full coverage, and then there is just floor mats for the floor. So do you want it to go up underneath the seats as well?

GMC Owner: Probably not.

Paul: Okay. And, I assume black?

GMC Owner: No, actually it's cocoa and sand interior. Sort of a tan, yeah.

Paul: I have cocoa, and I have tan.

GMC Owner: Let's go with the cocoa ... That's what the carpet mats that came in it are; dark brown. What's the difference in the ones that go up under the backseat?

Paul: There's only a difference of roughly $10 or so if you want the ones that go up under the backseat.

GMC Owner: Yeah, I would opt for them for an additional $10 then. Let's go ahead and place the order. Thanks again Paul!

Best Tonneau Cover for a 2018 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed: BAKFlip MX4 vs G2

GMC Owner: I just bought a new truck recently, a 2018 GMC, and I'm looking to get a tonneau cover

Paul: Okay. So it's a 2018 GMC with what size bed?

GMC Owner: Crew cab short bed

Paul: Alright now I recommend the MX4 which is one of the newest ones out
.

GMC Owner: What's the difference between the MX4 and the G2?

Paul: The G2 is gonna be cheaper, but its panels aren't as thick as the MX4, so the MX4 is a bit more dent resistant. The finish on its shiny instead of the matte black, the tailgate seal is a flap tailgate seal instead of a dual tailgate seal which allows you to open and close your tailgate without having to open up your cover. On the G2 you're gonna have to open up your cover every time you wanna shut that tailgate

GMC Owner: That's a good plus for the MX4. What about the warranty?

Paul: The warranty on the MX is a three year where there's only a two year on the G2.

GMC Owner: Okay, well that pretty much seals the deal. You said it's the matte satin finish instead of shiny?

Paul: Correct. If you have bed roll caps on there it should match those pretty nice.

GMC Owner: I do. Alright and that's free shipping for what I understand right?

Paul: Free shipping and no tax outside of Arizona.

GMC Owner: Good deal. Well can I go ahead and order one?

Paul: Yes, sir

Rebate Redemption for a Retrax XR tonneau cover for a 2018 GMC Sierra

GMC Sierra Owner: I talked to you guys about a week and a half ago or so about a cover for a truck, and it looks like now that they're doing a special with the Retrax, the XR that comes with a rebate that you can get the Yakima racks to go with it.

Peter: That's right.

GMC Sierra Owner: How do I do something to set that up, or is it something I do over the phone with you or online? How does that work?

Peter: Yeah, I can take care of it with you. What truck was it for?

GMC Sierra Owner: A 2018 GMC Sierra.

Peter: What's the bed length?


GMC Sierra Owner: It's the short bed, the five, eight.

Peter: Did we send you a quote?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yes.

Peter: Ok, I can take care of it with you right now if you'd like.

GMC Sierra Owner: Ok. And then for the rebate, I just take the receipt and mail it in with the rebate that's online from them, and then they send it separately for the rack or how does that work?

Peter: That's right. Exactly. After we complete your order we will ship your tonneau cover to you, but you will redeem the rebate directly through Retrax.

Peter: So again, that's the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 short bed?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yes, and I would like the Retrax Pro XR.


**Transaction Completed**

Peter: Alright. So allow about five to seven days for delivery on this. You're going to get an email confirmation here in just a second. And you're all set.

GMC Sierra Owner: Cool. And then is that rebate thing on Retrax's website or is that something you guys send over too.


Peter: My customer service team will send it, but they usually don't for about five days. They send them in batches, but you can get it right there on Retrax's website if you would like it sooner.

GMC Sierra Owner: How does it work if there's any warranty problems or anything like that? Do I contact you or just them directly?

Peter: It's Retrax directly since they're the manufacturer.

GMC Sierra Owner: Well, I got your email. Thank you so much, and I'll wait for it come in a couple of days.
