I had ordered a soft tonneau cover. When we put it on, it interferes with the operation of the power tailgate.
Is there any soft tonneau covers that will not do this. I'm going to try to adjust it tomorrow but if it still does not work correct,ly, I will return and order a different one.

The brand I ordered was one that is a little cheaper than others I've seen listed here; Tyger, but it worked perfectly with my Chevy Colorado.

THank you for any information provided.

This one works fine with my power tailgate and was reasonably priced through amazon.

I have a Truxedo truxport soft roll up tonneau cover on my Lariat with a power tailgate, no issues what so ever. $299 from Stage3 Motorsports.

Hi

Unfortunately the Tyger doesn't work with power tailgates.... I checked with them directly and it interferes with the operation.

I bought a Truxedo Lo PRo. Was easy to install and easy to use. Got it through Stage 3 Motorsports also (they are a site sponsor so was happy to support them).

I like that I can open the tailgate with the cover down and then a quick flick of the release on one side allows the tailgate to close, and then push down the cover. It means that the bed is secured (beyond some numpty using a knife) and can't be accessed without being unlocked.....

I also chose the low pro as it sits slightly proud of the bed which means that water runs off when it's raining easier IMHO.

I love it and would recommend it.
