Selecting Soft or Hard Tonneau Cover for 2016 Chevrolet Silverado-2500 8-Foot Bed

Question:

Hi guys, looking for a bed cover for 2016 Silverado 2500 double cab w/ 8 foot bed. Have used soft tops over short beds with good results , concerned about cupping between supports with folding cover. Any known issues over time?

For your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with 8-foot bed (and without the cargo management system) you can see all compatible tonneau covers on the linked page. These include roll-up, folding, retractable and hatch-style covers from 8 manufacturers.

You can click on the type of cover you prefer, such as a soft roll-up type like the TruXedo Lo Pro QT # TX572201. Soft covers can stretch from exposure to high temperatures and from daily use. Many include a tension adjustment, such as the E-Z clamping system found on the Tonno Pro cover, but use of a hard tonneau like the BAKFlip F1 # BAK72122 entirely avoids that concern.
