Chevy Avalanche Tonneau Cover

The Chevy Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade both have a multi panel tonneau cover that the trucks come with from the factory. The problem is however, that these tonneau covers are in my humble opinion, very poorly designed. Truth be told, if they didn't come factory equipped, I can't imagine anyone ever wanting to buy one. The OEM Chevy Avalanche tonneau cover, for those of you that have had the misfortune of owning one, would know how they tend to fade out pretty badly. This however is the least of the problem. The tonneau covers come in multiple pieces. So, if you want to load something in the back of your Chevy Avalanche, you literally need to separate and remove each tonneau cover panel which leaves you with more luggage to contend with in the back of your truck. Could someone please tell me which genius came up with that idea? With respect, it's no bloody wonder that GM stock ate it the way it did. With products like their Avalanche tonneau, they seem to have a long way to go to convince me that their accessories, never mind their trucks are up to snuff.

We at BAK Industries felt that we could do a much better job of a tonneau cover for the Chevy Avalanche. After all, we are the premier leaders in tonneau innovation, and given with what we had to work with on the Chevy Avalanche, we got to working on reinventing the Avalanche Tonneau cover. the result is the new BakFlip hard folding tonneau cover for the Chevy Avalanche, and if I may say so myself, we could teach GM engineers more than just a thing or two about what it takes to build a great tonneau cover.

The new BakFlip for the Chevy Avalanche is rock solid, being made from our BakFlip HD all aluminum panels. The tonneau cover allows full access to your truck bed, whenever you need access and flush mount, stylish security and aesthetics as well. The BakFlip will never fade like the OEM product and can be operated with ease and speed. The install is pretty cool as well and takes just about 20 minutes and can be done by yourself with ease.

We designed the Chevy Avalanche Tonneau cover to integrate with the trucks drainage system built for the original tonneau cover, however we saved a bunch of space by getting rid of the weird plastic trays on the inside of the bed. We also kept the OEM locking system, so locking your tailgate will render the new Chevy Avalanche tonneau cover completely secure!
