What is a recommended brand for a retractable truck bed cover for half ton Chevrolet?

I have a peragon cover from my 25 GMC that I would sell . It would fit the Chevy, I'm sure. I loved the cover, but had to sell the truck and my new company vehicle is a Ford, so I don't need it any more.

I had a roll n lock on my last truck. This time I went with a board favorite tri-fold, Lo-max. So far I like it and it's way cheaper than the retractable ones, easy to remove for full bed access.

How does your retrax handle rain? I got a used F-250 with a retrax on it and it leaks like a sieve…I have to put luggage in trash bags if there is threat of rain on a trip.

Wondering if it is just installed incorrectly.

I have not had that issue. Mine is not 100% rain proof, but I have not found one that is.

I bought a retrax knock-off for my truck, off Amazon. Super easy to install. 3 years in, and it still works flawless.

I love these, because it doesnt stack like a foldable cover, it locks, and is metal slats so you cant cut through it.

If you do buy this, I have one minor suggestion to improve the design...so reach out and I'll tell you what I did.

Ive had 2 Retrax . 1 leaked like a sieve from day 1.
2nd one took a bit but after 3 years it leaks.

Not a huge fan of Retrax.

I like the hard style cover just wanted something more waterproof. The BakRevolver X2 was on my list for the next truck.

How was the paragon ? I have a real truck brand and don't like it.

Saw the peragon on an advertisement like 3 weeks later. Being able to easily remove it looks super cool.

I have this one. I like it, but it still isn't 100% waterproof. It'll leak at the tailgate corners if sitting still or going through a car wash. Nothing will get wet in the bed. I haven't made any adjustments to see if I did something wrong though.

I like it. It is aluminum, so sturdy, and it's easy to remove by yourself to fit something larger in the bed. It leaks around the corners of the tailgate a bit, but most covers do. I have a replacement tailgate seal for it also, but never installed it as it didn't bother me that much.

I had a gatortrax before it (essentially a retrax) and I overall like the peragon better. The gatortrax only locked on one side and so the other side would pull away from the tailgate a leave a pretty big gap.

Had a roll n lock on my previous truck. I liked it a lot and and it never leaked. It does require routine maintenance of the tracks or else it will start to bind when you try to retract it, but as long as you lube the tracks once a month, it'll stay flawless. Only con, $$$$.
