Best Folding Tonneau Cover For 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500

Question

Question:

I am trying my best to research and discover the BEST hard fold Tonneau Cover for my recently purchased 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT extended Cab with a full long bed 8-2inch I believe is the often specified dimension. There are very few hard fold covers for LONG Bed 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500s. I am finding the reviews very helpful, but often there are also negative reviews even about some of the TOP LINE COVERS. I have narrowed down the choice between Extang Trifecta 2.0 Soft Tonneau Cover - Folding - Vinyl Item # EX92655 which lists for $xxx. from your website, and the other cover I am considering is INEXRUD Hard Tri-Fold 82inch / 97.6inch Truck Bed Cover Compatible for 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado GMC Sierra 1500 2007-2014 I have no idea who makes the INEXRUD? Like I say it is very difficult to find the long bed folding cover for 2007-2012 GM Trucks. Any help or comments will be much appreciated. Thank you.

While I cannot comment about Inexrud because I've never heard of them and we don't sell them, I can say for your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 long bed, if you want the best folding cover, you nailed one of the two options with the Extang Trifecta 2.0 Soft Tonneau Cover # EX92655.

This would be the best soft folding tonneau, as Extang is known for quality, but the cover is also easy to install, has an aluminum frame which means it won't rust, and it sits just about an inch above your bed rails so it has a nice aerodynamic look.

You did specify "hard" fold tonneau, so if that's what you wanted instead of a soft fold, then the best one for your Chevy is the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK26102.

BAKFlip is another cover maker with a reputation for high quality, and the G2 delivers there as well with both an aluminum frame and 1/2" thick aluminum panels so no rust ever, and can withstand up to 300 lbs of weight. The hard fold is more expensive, of course, but since you mentioned a hard fold I did want to at least give you an option to consider.

On the TruXedo Deuce Tonneau cover #TX771601 the part of the cover at the front of the bed can fold back but it does not fold from the back to the front. It can roll up from the back to the front though and you would be able to use a 5th wheel hitch.…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hello Louis, Congrats on the 1994, that’s a truck you can still work on, and honestly the older trucks are way cooler than the spaceships we drive around today. For your 1994 GMC 1/2 ton Sierra with a stepside bed, the Pace Edwards Full-Metal…

I did some scouring and was able to find the bearings and grease seal you need for your 92655 hub and drum, which is from AL-KO. These are 6,000 lb capacity and fit a #42 spindle, so the correct bearing kit is the following: - Bearing Kit #BK3-100…

Based on the information you provide it appears you will need the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly #AKIHUB-545-2-G-EZ-2K. I do recommend verifying this is the correct hub by temporarily removing one of your hubs and checking the part numbers on…

Hi Raymond, It looks like there's only one trailer hitch currently confirmed to fit a 2025 Genesis GV70, the Draw-Tite #DT63GR, which unfortunately is on extended back order from the manufacturer at this time.
