Video Review & Installation

Hey guys, it's Sara with americantrucks.com, and today we have a review and install of the Proven Ground EZ Hard Fold Tonneau Cover fitting your '19 and newer Chevy Silverado 1500s. This is perfect for the Silverado owner who's looking for the most budget-friendly hardcover option for their truck and likes the vinyl look of this cover. This hard panel trifold design features an aluminum frame and a black leather green vinyl top. This tonneau cover protects your bed from the elements and gives you that added protection from thieves that a softcover won't. It also features an easy clamp on fastening system that doesn't require any tools for install. So, as far as price goes, this one comes in at around $400 making it the most budget-friendly hardcover for your Silverado. I'm giving this install one of three wrenches on the difficulty meter. It features a direct clamp-on installation with no tools required and can be done within one hour. So, with that said, let's jump into our install.All right, so the first step in our install is to take our tonneau cover and place it on top of bed, making sure that it's even with the bulkhead and then we can get it clamped from underneath. All right, so once you're underneath the cover you can grab the clamp and pull it down. Then you fold it up like this to clamp the edge of the bed. Make sure you have a nice tight connection, you can loosen and tighten it by spinning it. Make sure it's grabbing the edge of the bed fully. Now, from there, there's one added feature of this cover, that is they've included these cotter pins just for added safety. I'd probably throw these on the back two clamps, there's a hole right there. Just because these will not be coming off as frequently. That's a nice little added safety feature to have. Repeat that on the other side.Once the clamps are installed, unbuckle the cover and go ahead and fold it out. At this point, just double check that your fitment is correct and if you need to make any adjustments, you can do so now. All right, now we can install the clamps at the rear. These install the same as the front, tighten or loosen by twisting, then grab the edge of the bed and clamp it down. These also have a hole for a cotter pin but because they're opened a little more often than the back ones, I'm gonna leave those out. Repeat that on the other side. All right, now we can just take a final look at fitment and make any adjustments if needed. But that is gonna do it for the review and install this trifold tonneau.
