I laughed really hard when you were yelling pivot! Good 'ole Friends!

[@engus13]

Line-x should be your next mod. Must have for a truck

[@FastSS02]

He did his own brush/roll on liner on his other truck. Surprised he hasn't done it on this one yet.

[@line-xofwestphoenix3372]

He just needs to come to AZ and I'll take care of it.

[@Mark-sn6kh]

Thanks for the video. I have an 09 Silverado with a solid one piece Undercover brand bed cover. Someone cumbersome to remove, but I love it. I keep a couple tool boxes in the bed fulltime and dont worry about them.

[@ryanakers9833]

Picking up my 24’ 6.2 Lt trail boss on the 15th. Following you for a while. Looking forward to mods and more videos from you in the future!

[@jasonjtg21]

That’s a great looking bed cover I like all the additional features of the programmed interface.

[@SimpleManFore]

I love how after 3 years you are still modifying and making good content. A lot of other channels find it easier and necessary to keep switching vehicles and build them the same way of the one they just got rid of! Your channel is both informative and interesting keep it up!

[@zieske98]

Awesome way to start the morning one of your videos!

🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@gunsnsails]

Very cool mod. I'm not a big fan of bed covers personally but that one is dang nice!

[@Overpar73]

Very, very nice bed cover, also very expensive! Looking forward to the sheeting of the shop! I'm working on getting my foam for my floor installed, waiting for the weather to get nice to pour some concrete! Take care and don't work too hard bud!!

[@michaelc1422]

Man, that's an awesome bed cover!

[@Laterdays2]

Keyless entry. Awesome.

[@kowalski624]

You could try the drain holes that are in the bed sides. That way the hoses are out of the way too. Really short run from where they come out of the box. I use those on my quad fold hard top. Like 6-8 inches of hose is all you need.

[@Staying_Dangerous_Official]

I love your videos. I've been watching the Trail Boss for years, and actually bought one of my own because of what i've seen here. I think now that you have the experience of working with this engine, you should get a 2500 Zr2 and make a masterpiece. You won't have to guess and check anymore and you can make a beast!

[@johnathanstarnes2149]

I almost went with Retrax, but I went to a local shop now I’m wishing I would have went with my first Decision. That’s awesome

[@MrSolowma]

I love this tonneaux cover but would not work in Canada with the ice. I had the revolver on my Colorado and could not open all winter. The try fold on the gmc at4 works all the time. Love it as I can shovel it off, fold it and not worry about surface cracking. Love the channel.

[@FastSS02]

I'm in Michigan and had several inches of snow hard frozen on it and was able to open my manual version just fine.

[@briank.3539]

I cannot wait for you to super charge your engine. This video has me leaning towards the Retrax electric bed cover. Great video, as always.

[@ryankelly5303]

AWESOME JOB MAN.

[@Akbrwn]

Timestamp 5:00 Me every time I start a project in my garage!!

[@joshraines]

I went with the Gator FX4 because it can fold up all the way out of the way. While these power folds are cool...there's no way around losing box space. And with a short bed already, I need all the space I can get.

[@chuckgoodman3828]

When I purchased my new truck a month ago, I was torn between the hard trifold and power retractable tonneau covers. I ultimately went went the trifold because it can be easily removed if I ever need the extra bed space that the retractable takes up! Both are nice covers though!

[@markmanning5683]

Compared to my "Undercover" Elite LX Tonneau Cover with LED Light, Painted to match the Color of my Truck. The Weight, Ability to completely keep Water out and then the Price, is great. If I want to carry something like a Motorcycle or Large items, this Tonneau will slide off with the twist of Two screws on the inside. The Tonneau also helps with improved Gas mileage because of wind resistance in the bed. I watched your video of the EGR Rolltrax EQ and liked the unit, but not thrilled with the water leakage and of course "The Price". Good luck to both of us on our choices.

[@chrism8013]

My favorite comment to my wife when she's helping me; EASY, lol. Glad to see I'm not alone.

[@line-xofwestphoenix3372]

Retrax looks good, I install a lot of those and they are very nice. If you want to improve that bed a little more next time you are in Phoenix AZ come by and I'll do a spray in liner for you.

[@stumc2223]

That is fukin sick that its on a button! So neat

[@CSltz]

I think that you will like the roll top better than the folding cover. I’ve had almost all of the styles through the years from toppers to vinyl roll ups. In my opinion the absolute worst was the tri fold. Definitely the most water resistant but the most awkward to use. There is a seal that goes between the bed and tailgate that keeps the water from being drawn up underneath the tailgate do to the air pressure. Well worth the money. I have had the best experience with just the basic Rollnlock. Expensive yes. But seems the most secure. I would like to see one of these videos on which one is the hardest to get into. Obviously the vinyl isn’t going to be on the list. You will really enjoy a Bed Rug sure saves the knees. And there are ladders that mount to the tailgate and unfold off the end. For less than $70. That makes getting into the bed so much easier. Sounds silly I know. But I’m 68. And have learned the body doesn’t last at the joints very long.

[@N8tive_Bagger]

The gentex truck is a beauty … I’ll having with it this weekend

[@kdogbigdog]

I think the Bakflip has a cleaner look, and don't have to worry about mechanical failure.

[@Fedor-5]

I had an XT encore on my 12 Silverado and loved it. Not 100% watertight but the functionality was great. On my 2019 new body style Silverado I have the Retracts cover that you’re putting on, mine was just not automatic. It leaked like an absolute sieve. They replaced the cover and it continued to leak. I’ll be really curious to see what luck you have with yours. I currently have it for sale and went with a camper shell.

[@tomlee8914]

Very Nice, but when will you be putting in some type of bed liner? But awesome job on all the mods.

[@romeowhiskeylima556]

Great video bro. That’s crazy expensive for a bed cover though. Still getting a rattle with my AWE OFG exhaust on my ‘21 trail boss.

[@shaneduff1merica]

Hey Chad I've been following you for the last few years now and love all the videos you make, just wanted to suggest this to you if you do ever decide to change your exhaust on your 2020 Silverado, I have a Corsa pro series exhaust system on my 2020 Silverado lt with the 5.3 and it's by far the best exhaust system I've ever had, just wanted to throw that out there, keep making the great videos my friend!!!

[@eeee3202]

Cool tonneau cover, but it's all fun and games when things go sideways post warranty. I stuck with the BAK Revolver covers, and so far so good.

[@SpangledOne]

4th NEED. Line-X 😏 Great video!

[@blaneaustin3719]

Lay dominator bed liner has a real great shine and doesn’t look so rough

[@windycitywarrior71]

Congratulations on the free bedcover but the tri fold is the choice.

[@Gramps83]

I had a retrax on my work truck but it eats up that bed space at the front of the bed. I like my trifold because it can be easily removed when I need to use the full length bed space.

[@MM-co9ds]

Are you planning to replace the stereo deck with one of those large size screen types? Be nice to see some mods done in the interior. I don't know if you a fan but I never seen anyone add memory seats. Like the factory ones.

[@garrisonjasik5367]

My favorite tonnaue cover is hard quad fold

[@garrisonjasik5367]

@Lone_Star_Hawaiian-te.xt_me I’m live in SA TX. Maybe we can meet up and talk about trucks one day

[@Drew1701D]

Nice change out, got a few of your mods on my 19 Silverado; pulsar LT, lasfit tail lights, gorhino light bar, air intake, catch can...well i'm spending a lot thanks to you....though my latest upgrade was a 23 Camaro :) on that new cover hows is the seal against rain getting in the bed? Is there a seal where the cover meets the tailgate?

[@mariuszarszylo1476]

It still boggles my mind why other car manufacturers won't use a keyless entry pad like all Ford vehicles have been using for decades. It's such a simple design and it's super convenient. As you have noticed yourself with getting one of these keypads yourself.

[@TheSaw410]

My Ford truck (xl high trim for work only) is brand spanking new and has a physical key no TouchPad entry, so not all have it. Can use my phone, which is slow, but I still need the physical key for the ignition.

[@windycitywarrior71]

Its dumb. Thats why no one else has done it. Lol

[@Gear_Banger]

Those were also a lot of the vehicles being stolen around the Atlanta, Ga area a while back…

[@CollinZ71]

Ford patented that design!

[@mariuszarszylo1476]

@@CollinZ71 That makes a lot of sense, thank you. Unlike random people just saying "It's dumb".

[@donthaggard1485]

Hey sir - just ran across your vids - well done for sure - AND I JUST bought a 24 trail boss - so how tall is your gorgeous pickup? My garage barely fits my truck so lifting may not be in the cards but love the look of yours…Uber curious…again - very well done videos - love the instruction. - thank you!

[@310HawaiianBoi]

I still need a bed cover. I’ve resorted to covering my gear in the bed with plastic bags. One day!!!😂😂😂

[@09DARKORANGEJK]

Unrelated to the video but I noticed your truck has the junk Rancho shocks. I switched my rear shocks over to the Bilstein 5100’s after seeing my stock rears were blown out already. Feels like a completely different truck. The rear feels less “washy” and can actually put some power down.

[@iticklechickens]

I miss my 1500. Its been in the shop for almost a month waiting on a new door. Had a minor wreck that tore up the step side, fender flair, bent the rocker, and mashed up the rear door. Apparently chevy parts are unobtanium right now.

[@MaverickRE]

That's cool although it takes up a lot of bed room at the front..... I'm also shocked you don't have a spray in bed liner

[@FastSS02]

I have a RetraxPro MX cover I bought before I even had my truck. The truck was on order and I knew I wanted this cover for it. I didn't want the fancy electric stuff for more money or to go wrong, but this new version is neat. They made the canister smaller since you said you have 13" of space between the bottom and the bed floor. Mine is 11" of space. They also changed the drain tubes to be corrogated tube instead of clear vinyl tube. I had to find smaller diameter tube to fit through the floor holes since I wasn't about to drill new holes in my brand new truck! You should get some stake pocket covers, unless you actually use those. The jump up onto the tailgate had me laughing. I got the Multi-Flex tailgate on my 2021 when it was first offered as a 1/2 year introduction. I had a lifted Avalanche and it was a pain in the butt to hop up on the tailgate then climb into the bed!

[@ryansheard8092]

How much bed space does rhe canister taken up, length wise? A 5.5' bed becomes 4.5'?

[@FastSS02]

@@ryansheard8092 I just measured and it's about 13". It sits right tight against the bulkhead of the bed and measuring the canister and where the cover stops is 13". You still have full bed access below it. I have 11" from the bottom of the canister to the bed floor's highest point on the ridges.

[@ryansheard8092]

@FastSS02 thank you for taking the time to measure that.

[@gabeesquivelLethalZR1]

Hopefully a roots style blower coming.

[@braddoan7196]

#4 bed sprayed!!

[@moemaison]

Hey, I’ve been following your channel for over a year now and I’ve watched every single of your videos thus far due to the fact that I also have a 2019 Trailboss. It’s nice to see that maybe you haven’t encountered all the problems I’ve had so far which I’ll start by pointing out that my transmission has given up by 38,000 miles. Right after getting a new transmission, my oil pan needed to be replaced around 44,000 miles. Now, at around 51,000 miles my radiator is completely leaking which needs to be replaced. It’s honestly been a nightmare. Do you think it’s worth keeping the truck cause I am so close to just trading this for an f-150.

[@trailbosschrispayne5454]
