    tonneau covers that work with the multifunction tailgate?

    Sorry for the slow reply, I thought I’d get notified. In any case, I didn’t have any problems with the factory bolts. It was all pretty easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Correct, nothing to do with the **** of the truck.

    It's the front triangle brackets.

    tonneau covers that work with the multifunction tailgate?

    I just installed a Retrax XR Pro (same thing pretty much) with my MFT. I love it so far, and it seems to be mostly water tight. I wouldn't carry a bunch of water sensitive stuff in there, but the truck bed isn't the best case in any situation to carry stuff like that. Closing the MFT is no...

    Limited w/MFT RetraxPro XR Install video

    Hey all, I finally got my video up on youtube: It's kind of lengthy, but it is comprehensive and should cover everything regarding the Righton Brackets, Retrax install, and aftermarket LED bed installation. Hope it helps some of you guys out. Let me know if you have any other questions too.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Got my Retrax XR cover installed, and am in the process of installing some LED bed lights. I'm editing a video as well to put up on YT showing the install and going over all the rookie issues I had.

    install retrax pro mx?

    Hey all, I just ordered mine. I'll be making a YT video of the install and will post it up. I think it'll be a week before I get the retrax and it'll be a few days before I get the video up. Hopefully that'll help some people around here. I got part no. T-80243, which is the Pro XR model. Retrax...

    install retrax pro mx?

    I'm interested in this as well. I have the righton brackets installed, and not sure how the rails would fit. I'm thinking that the presence of those brackets would alter how much available width there is for the canister and keeping the rails parallel within 1/16" of each other.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    It seems that if you finance thru CC, the interest rate won't be that great. I think I was initially quoted around 6%, and my credit rating is around 850. What you can do though, is refinance after 4 payments to your credit union. You might pay a couple of hundred additional in interest, but...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I didn't put anything down other than trading in my wife's 9 year old MDX.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My payments are deferred 3 months then it's 84 months past that. So it's really an 87 month loan. Waiting til Jan to start payments is crazy. It'll be 5 years before you're not upside down not assuming any trade circumstances.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I've had my 2020 Limited for about a week and a half. I didn't do nearly as well as you guys seem to be doing as far as a deal, but it was exactly what I wanted and I love it. I guess I wasn't willing to wait for the next "just right" truck to come along to save a few bucks. MSRP: 71k, financed...

    The New chevy is growing on me ...(just sayin)

    Agreed. I see a GM around town every now and then that looks nice, but those interiors. I was joking with one my buddies that owns a Raptor and I said that GM looks good on the outside, but they started on the interior and then just quit. I drove a Raptor when I first started looking at trucks...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm working on a fairly loaded 2020 Limited and if I take 0%/84, they are only taking 10% off of MSRP. If I finance through standard CC, they they take off 17.2% of MSRP. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think there's still a little meat on that bone. It's difficult to gauge how much hardball to play in...
