New 2010 KR owner here

Picked up our 2010 KR last week. I say our, because my wife drives it (I have a 40mi commute to work), and I just use it to tow a racecar.

We opted for a 4x2 SCREW in Platinum White with Pueblo Gold. Only options were the 5" tubular chrome stepbar and 3.55 limited slip.

A few items I would like advice on:
Tonneau covers. I want a Bakflip HD or similar, but she is convinced the black will look horrible with the gold rails. If you have pics, all the better, as she will require visual proof.

Bedliners: Thinking of doing the spray in Line-X right now.

Trailer brake controllers: Leaning heavily towards the Tekonsha prodigy right now.

There was someone who was also concerned with the way the BakFlip would look on their white truck. There were a couple of pics in the thread. If you do a search you may find it. Nice Truck BTW!

Is adding the factory one an option for you? I added it. Might be a little more expensive, but looks cleaner and works with the factory systems. Think mine was around $225, plus 70 to install and turn it on in the trucks computer. All the settings then show up in your in dash information screen.

Your KR looks great!

Thanks guys! I found the BakFlip pictures I was looking for.

As far as the OEM controller, is $225 all it costs? I can install myself pretty easily. Where can you find it for $225?

So, just out of curiosity, do you have to squeeze the lever every time on the OEM brake, or is it automatic?

its auto, but you can squeeze it to apply them manually. Awesome truck!
