I've been looking at the available Truxedo soft roll up tonneau covers that open up from the tailgate end of the bed to find the tonneau cover you have. Without knowing your specific vehicle and the model tonneau, I cannot narrow it down to one specific replacement part.

I have narrowed it down to the following: Truxedo Edge # TX872801 Truxedo Pro X15 # TX1456001 Truxedo Deuce 2 # TX772801 Truxedo TruXport # TX272801 Of those four tonneau covers, I have only found one replacement latch # TX1117424 which works for the TruXedo Deuce 2, Edge, Lo Pro, or Original Truxedo Tonneau Covers.

I've included a video of the latch I've found so you can see if it's the one you're looking for.

Most manufacturer's say 10% under your truck's capacity but our recommendation is to go between 20%-25% below. So you would want to go no higher then 1,992 lbs - 1,867 lbs of tongue weight with your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. I have…
