What is the Best Scratch Resistant Waterproof Tonneau Cover for a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500?

GMC Sierra Owner: I have a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5'8 bed, and I need a tonneau cover.

Shaun: What kind of cover were you looking at?

GMC Sierra Owner: Well, you sent me an email on a couple that, or three of them that kind of go over the top. Two from Extang and one from Retrax.

Shaun: Okay.

GMC Sierra Owner: But I think from looking at those and kind of figuring it out, I think we're more in line to do one of the covers that, what do you call it? Low profile? The one that's not on top of the bed, it's in the bed.

Shaun: The tri-fold.

GMC Sierra Owner: The tri-fold. Tri-fold or a roll up, but it looks like the roll ups cost a heck of a lot more.

Shaun: Correct, yeah the Retrax, the aluminum version, which is one with the life-time warranty on it. That one costs more. Are you wanting to get a BakFlip or something like that?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yeah, I'm thinking so. The email I got a couple of weeks ago had the BAKFlip MX4. I like that one. And I was kind of Googling it last night and checking out some reviews. Apparently, folks like it, except that they say it scratches pretty easily.

Shaun: Alright, the one you're going to want, if you're going for the tri-fold, the one you're going to want is UnderCover Armor Flex. It's got LINE-X on it. You can't scratch that cover.

GMC Sierra Owner: Got you. And is it a matte black or a shiny black?

Shaun: Matte black.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay, and it's pretty good on the water spilling off? Here it is. They're all about the same aren't they, when it comes to that?

Shaun: Yeah, and this one's actually got a five-year warranty instead of a three.

GMC Sierra Owner: Oh, okay, yeah if you could shoot me that one in an email I'll take a look.

Shaun: Okay, I'm going to send you the actual order form. All you got to do if you want to go ahead and do it is click proceed with that. 

What Are The Cheapest Tonneau Cover Options For a 1997 Toyota T100 SR5 Extended Cab?

Toyota Owner: I'd gotten an email from you about tonneau covers, that there was a discount going on.

Peter: Yes, what truck is it for?

Toyota Owner: It's a 1997 Toyota T100 SR5 extended cab, 3.4 liter engine.

Peter: What's the bed length?

Toyota Owner: I'm not 100% sure on the bed length

Peter: I'll need that information before you order. What kind of cover were you looking for?

Toyota Owner: I don't want a real expensive one. I can't afford a real expensive one. Give me some of your lower priced options, please.

Peter: Sure. A good option might be the Truxedo Truxport. It's a soft roll up cover. It's a really popular unit. It's got a five year warranty. All of our covers include free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering outside of Arizona. That's the least expensive option for that vehicle.

Toyota Owner: Okay. What's your step up from the Truxedo Truxport?

Peter: Step up from there's going to be the Truxedo Lo Pro. It's got a lifetime warranty. It sits more low profile like almost flushed inside the bed rails. That one holds up really well for years and years. That's probably the most popular soft roll up out there.


Toyota Owner: I'll tell you what. I'll see if I can get the bed measured tomorrow and I will call you back.

Peter: Sounds Good!
