-Regularly use high quality lubricant on tonneau tracks (mine has always worked perfect)

I'd be curious as to what people use for this... any recommendations?

I've been using WD-40 Lithium grease for mine...seems to work well. Amazon link

The techs suggest a dry lubricant made for these kinds of things like WD 40 Silicone Lube

The dry lubricant made some grinding sounds, especially after exposure to quarry dust. Maybe I should clean it out and try the dry lube again.

I read someone recommended a dry graphite lube such as CRC. I bought a can via Amazon even though I’ll be waiting 4-5 months for my R1T. Better to be prepared but hoping I get a “new and improved” version.

Nice list, thank you.

One thing we do, because we hook and unhook our travel trailer a lot, is use the ride lower to get under the trailer hitch and then ride raise to connect (reverse process when unhooking). After many years of manual raise/lower on the trailer side, the idea of going up/down with the truck instead makes me laugh.
