Hard Folding Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with 6-1/2 Ft Bed
Question:
I have a 2016 Chev 3500 6.5foot bed. Im interested in either the Bakflip Bak126121 or the Xtang Ex83450. Are those the correct numbers? Can they still be installed using a Fifth wheel hitch? What are the dimensions of both? Which is better? Thanks

Both the Extang Solid Fold 2.0 # EX83450 and BAKFlip FiberMax # BAK126121 Tonneau Covers are confirmed to fit your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with 6-1/2 foot bed. These are both hard, folding tonneau covers but I personally like the Extang # EX83450 a bit more because of the extremely simple installation process. It has a self-contained clamp system which means the hardware is built into the cover. No separate clamps or bolts are needed and when the cover is removed, no hardware is left behind on your truck's rails.
You will not have any issue with installing this with the use of a fifth wheel hitch. I just recommend removing the cover when towing your trailer.
Both Tonneau Covers will simply rest on top of your truck's bed rails. The Extang Solid Fold will sit about 1 to 1-1/2 inches above your bed rails. The BAKFlip will sit about a 1/2 inch above your rails.
