Hey guys, John here with realtruck.com and I'm going to show you how to install the TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover on this 2016 Chevy. So we've got everything out of the box and you can see here that it comes complete with everything you need to put this on the truck, comes with of course your Tonneau cover itself, both your right and left side rails and bulkhead seal and this part is really kind of cool. These are seals that are going to go on the ends of your end caps here to help seal that up as well and it comes with your clamps to attach it. So let's get this on the truck. Before we get too carried away and start attaching our Tonneau cover to our truck, the first thing we're going to do is attach this bulkhead seal which they sent with it which is really cool. And the way you do that, is first of all make sure that everything is good and clean and then take like an alcohol prep pan and just rub it down just to get all that extra dirt and stuff that might still be on there, just a real quick clean here and make sure that this is dry before you start installing the seal which is very easy to do. 866-554-0581 Free shipping for orders over $100! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Am I the only one that watched this video and thought: "That shop is so clean!"
I just got mine and this cover is a 10/10 so easy to install too!!
By chance will this cover work with a U shaped bed extender like amp research HD?
Thanks for the instructional video. My Truxedo cover will be arriving in a couple of days and I will go by your instructions step by step on my 2017 Silverado
So how did the installation go?
As always nice job!
Do they make ladder racks compatible with this? Or, could you put clamp style ladder racks on with this rolled back?
Nice presentation! and very helpful!
Hey do you know where I can buy a replacement bulk head seal? I’m getting a new truck and bringing the old cover with me but not gonna attempt to reuse that.
Thanks for the effort! Nice video.
Great video on truck bed covering. I was able installed just watching your video. Keep up the great work.
works great perfect !
I have a bed liner that goes over the bed at the rear window do I have to remove it to install the back rail
How much movement while driving/windy should be noticed with this cover?
Whats the best way to keep water out where the cover meets the tailgate?
Where did you get the bulkhead seal? My truxport did not come with it and I don't see it on the website. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Great video!

Is the side rail supposed to click into place when you push it into the bulkhead bar? Mine keeps sliding out a little when I push the other rail in the other side. I just have the clamps finger-tightened for now. Thanks for the tip on the 1/8th inch test at the gate end, and the foam pieces at that end. It was getting dark when I did the initial install, so I deferred the final alignment and tightening for today. It aligned pretty good, but I want to double check. My installation was a little different due to the truck having a liner (so no bulkhead seal). Mine is also a 2016 Chevy Colorado z71.
One other question: what is a good conditioner to use on the vinyl to keep it in good condition?
You skipped right past installing cover assembly on front bulkhead, and it's tough to see on the instructions.
Execellent! Nice truck 🤣
Excellent video! This really helped me with the install. I would say maybe zoom in a little more or hold the frame longer on the close ups - so we can better see what you are doing. The instructions that came with this bed cover are awful - so this video was very much needed! THANK YOU!
Great suggestion!
Thabks
What is the sports bar?
Thanks for the video. The key point you conveyed is the 1/8" spacing from the rear of the side rails to the closed tailgate (mentioned at minutes 4:00 and 6:00). This and cross bed measuring squared everything nicely. Thanks again!
Does water go inside through the tailgate , looks like theres no good seal in that área from water entering the bed 🤔
What exploded at 5:24? Lol. On a real note… how good is the Velcro? My experience with Velcro is that after time it doesn’t work very well. You think it will hold up for years?
Great video/review. Thanks for posting. I just purchased the Tuxedo for my 2016 F150 & im wondering if I can still install it with my already installed Bed-liner? Hope so, otherwise I gotta send it back or rip out the bed-liner. Grrr!
That depends on the bed liner. If it is a full drop in bed liner that is one piece over the rails this cover would not install. If the bed liner does not extend over the rails then you would be able to install the cover. On certain applications, you will need to cut the front bulkhead if the plastic liner is too rounded.
RealTruck.com -- Thanks so much for the reply. I'm looking at the truck right now & see the Bed-liner does not go over the rails so I'm good on that end but I will def need to do something about the bulk-head but it shouldn't be that big a deal. Hey man. Thanks so much for the prompt response. I truly appreciate it. Enjoy your day bud.

Of course yours fit without any adjustments needed where it clips in by the tailgate. Would have been nice to see that.
With a drop in bed liner would you still apply the weather strip at the head of the bed?
Jeff,
The only reason you would install the weather strip at the bulkhead is if your front bulkhead sits lower than the side rails. If there are flush around the bed then there is no need to install the seal.
Thank you.
Will that fit properly on a 2016 Dodge Ram pick up?
BeAmbitiousNotContent: Yes, Truxedo makes the Truxport cover for all 3 bed lengths for the 1500 models and both bed lengths for the 2500 and 3500 models to fit 2016 Ram truck line up.
Very easy to install..
How well this cover handles with ❄ ? I want to get one for my truck but I scared its won't last since lots of snow during winter season in Wisconsin.
Hey there! This cover is designed, tested and built in South Dakota, and can handle snow very well. Hope that helps! :)
@@Realtruckabsolutely false. I bought one of these exact same covers and it can’t even handle rain. It pools up so much I have to remove a huge puddle every time it rains. It’s very frustrating
Can I install a roof rack under Meath this? I have one on my truck but need a roof rack.
Unfortunately, no. :(
I jsuy did today. Same brand at my dogde ram. Thanks for the video
Could I put one of these on my 91 Chevy?
Truxedo makes these for 91 Chevy's but we'd need to know the model and bed length to give you a sure answer.
is there some kind of strap to hold it in place once you roll up the cover?
yes if you look closely at 5:45 you can clearly see there is a strap on each side, please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks :)
+RealTruck.com ah, ok I see now. sold! thanks a lot
Yes Sir! Let us know how you like it!

NICE REVIEW👍
Thanks! 👍
Would rain mess up the velcro?
Sombo, no it will not :)
One question on the bulkhead seal. Does it need to be centered on the bulkhead?
Armando, it needs to be at the furthest point on the bulkhead, away from the cab. Hope that helps!
@@Realtruck looks like you put the seal toward the cab and not away from from the cab?
Hello, I purchased a truxedo for 2016 Silverado. I notice that when I'm on the high or just driving around town that the cover flaps a lot. Is that normal? Also I don't recall the person who installed it put a sealed around I'd like your doing in the video.
Jose Baez it could be either the bulkhead seal wasn't installed and it is allow air to get under it or the cover is not pulled tight enough from side to side. If you have any other questions about this you can call 877-216-5446
Thanks for your reply..
You are welcome Jose.
If it flaps like a flag whipping in the wind ... you did something wrong. It's gonna flutter somewhat while driving...you see it move when he taps on it,
Is this compatible with a Chevy Silverado 1500 ,,,2005 crew cab,?
Can I still use a fifth wheel hitch with a roll up?
yes,you just roll it up and attach the fifth wheel
Just be aware that the Truxport sits completely on top of the bed rails and will be 1.5” above the bed rails which reduces clearance to the underside of the front overhang on the fifth wheel. Truxedo’s Pro X15 only sits 1/2” above the bed rails so you have an extra inch of vertical clearance if you need it.
How do you replace the rail latches specifically, truxsport said it was an easy fix and refused to send me a entire new tonneau cover because the rails didn’t technically fail. Even though high wind had my tonneau cover flailing like super mans cape. Please help!
My bed liner is sprayed on will that weatherstrip stick?
You will need to prep the area with rubbing alcohol or use an adhesive promoter to ensure the seal sticks to the bulkhead.

Mine has been on the spray on liner for a couple of weeks now and I don't see any sign of peeling off. I prepped it with isopropyl alcohol.

I have a 2018 Nissan Titan and I got this cover for it. I’ve had it on for a few weeks and the clamps keep coming loose honestly they really don’t fit well.
Maybe the clamps are defective. Wonder if you could have them send you another set of clamps for free or get some from a hardware store? I just got a 2018 Pro4x and I'm looking at the Tonnosport cover.
I had one on my last truck for 12 years and never had a problem with them loosening. I would check them every few months in case they needed a re-tightening, and rarely did. If so just a tiny bit. I just put one on my new truck and again no problems with that. Maybe see if they will send some new clamps. Maybe something wrong with one or more of them.
lyman135 I just made shims no more issues and has been on my rig for like 2 years now?
I would assume lock-tight would work for this issue
PSA: 1/8th inch clearance on a 2012 Sierra is way to close. The tail gate make contact and lift the end of the cover when you close it.

The Weathertech bed cover is very similar but a much lower profile. That Truxedo cover sits on top of box, covers that are flush or less than than an inch above the box look much cleaner. Pretty decent price though.
+Mike,
Everyone has their own preference to the profile of the cover. We sell covers that are 1/2 above the bed and others like the Truxport that sit 1 1/2 inches above the bed. Personally, for the price and automatic tension that you get with this cover, it easily beats the Weathertech. The WeatherTech cover is actually a private label Access cover, which are great but the price is almost double.
I get this is an old post but the low profile covers have a support to hold the cross rails that stick into your bed 2-3”. They look good but they take up bed space and can be easily damaged f using your bed a lot for truck stuff. Putting it on top of the bed rails solves that issue
On the truck in way less than an hour. Looks great. Only thing that I didn't think about and I am a little concerned about now, is I live in South Texas. Hot Hot Hot. Not 15 minutes after I installed it, I touched the top and it felt scorching already. I hope it lasts a while.
The cover is pretty durable, so you shouldn't have too many issues with the heat affecting it. However black vinyl in the heat can and will get hot to the touch!
you can also buy certian products to keep the vinyl "moisturized" to prevent cracking
Definitely want to apply a vinyl UV protectant a few times a year to help protect it. My last one was 12 years old and still looked very good. Just make sure you keep that UV protectant or it will get destroyed by the sun eventually. But thats the same with all tonneau covers.
how much? hope it's not $600 that's how much a fiberglass tonneau cost if so might as go fiberglass
The Truxedo Truxport is from $289-299 depending on the vehicle. Here is a link to check out the cover.

Got mine for 264 at summit racing with discount codes
you skipped the part applying the back to the rubber seal.
Can someone break into it easily
Dan Lindemuth with a knife
Nice but the look of those clamps is terrible. The TruXedo Lo Pro seems to be a much cleaner design all the way around.
Um, you dont see them unless its open. Who cares.
