FITMENT
- 2007-2013 Silverado Sierra 1500 2500 HD 3500 HD 6.5ft / 6.6ft Bed.
- Fits Fleetside / Styleside Models Only. Not for CarbonPro Bed.
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- The GMT900 platform 6.5ft bed is one of the most common configurations on the road — from half-ton daily drivers to 3500HD work trucks. The 6.5ft Soft Roll-Up Tonneau covers them all with a single well-engineered fit. Heavy-duty PVC fabric with reinforced cross-bows keeps the cover tight across the 78.9-inch span, and the aircraft-grade aluminum rails mount with clamps — no drilling, no permanent changes.
- The roll-up design is especially valuable on HD trucks where the tailgate sees heavy use. Open the tailgate, roll the cover up, and you’ve got full bed access for loading pallets, equipment, or job-site materials. Close it back down to keep everything secure and dry when the job is done.
Key Features
- GMT900 1500 & HD Compatible One cover fits all GMT900 1500, 2500HD, and 3500HD models with the 6.5ft/6.6ft standard bed. Same rail geometry across the line — no model-specific variations to worry about.
- Reinforced Cross-Bow Support Tuned for the 6.5ft span with proper bow spacing to prevent sagging and water pooling in the center of the cover.
- Weather-Resistant PVC Fabric Thick double-sided vinyl with UV treatment. Handles sun, rain, snow, and years of daily use without breaking down.
- Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Side Rails Corrosion-resistant rails won’t rust or pit. Electroplated clamps maintain their finish even on trucks that see winter salt.
- HD-Friendly Roll-Up Access Full bed access for loading heavy equipment with a forklift or crane — no panels to remove and store, no blocked visibility.

Installation Overview
This cover installs in 20–40 minutes with basic hand tools — no drilling, no cutting, no permanent modifications. The aircraft-grade aluminum side rails clamp directly onto your factory bed rails. Position the rails, tighten the clamps, roll out the fabric, and adjust the tailgate tension for a weather-tight seal. One person can handle it; a second set of hands cuts the job in half.
FAQ
Q: Does one cover really fit both 1500 and 3500HD trucks?
A: Yes. The bed rail dimensions are the same across all GMT900 1500, 2500HD, and 3500HD models with the standard bed. The cover and rail system are identical — no different SKU needed.
Q: Will the heavier HD tailgate cause more wear on the cover latch?
A: The cover doesn’t attach to or interact with the tailgate’s weight mechanism. It simply seals against the top of the closed tailgate. The tailgate’s weight has no effect on cover durability.
Q: Is the 6.5ft cover more prone to wind noise than the 5.8ft?
A: With proper tension, there’s no noticeable difference. The cross-bows and adjustable tension system keep the 6.5ft fabric flat. If you hear flapping, tighten the tailgate latch — that solves it 99% of the time.
Q: Can this cover be used with a ladder rack?
A: Most ladder racks mount to the stake pockets or bed rails above the tonneau cover rail line, so there’s typically no conflict. However, the cover must be rolled up when the rack is loaded with ladders or materials that extend into the bed area.
Q: Need a cover for a different GMT900 bed size or a newer Silverado?
A: For GMT900 5.8ft beds, see our short-bed GMT900 cover. For 2014-2018 K2XX models, we carry 5.8ft and 6.5ft covers.
