Does anyone have a tonneau cover with an auto lift/drop tailgate..

I was with my brother, looking at his and he has unlock the cover and raise or flip it to unlock the tailgate. Defets the purpose of having an auto tailgate.

Any list somewhere that might point this out?

The new style Bakflip G2 doesn’t require the cover to be opened to open or close the tailgate. You’d have to look at each one to determine if it would work. No idea if such a list exists ?‍♂

I have a Lomax tri-fold on my KR and the tailgate opens and closes without doing anything to the cover.

does he have one of those molded fiberglass kind that wraps over all the sides and back?

No, he doesn't have a fiberglass one. It actually on an F-250, but I wouldn't think that would matter.

MY DIAMOND BACK REQUIRES VERY LITTLE EFFORT TO OPEN TAILGATE. **I DO NOTHAVE THE AUTO UP FEATURE**. MINE DOESNT DROP THOUGH DUE TO THE RUBBER GASKET CONTACT ON THE TAIL GATE. I HAVE TO SLIGHTLY HELP IT DOWN. GOING BACK UP IS MINIMAL EFFORT ALSO.

My Leer power retractable has not created any issues for the tailgate.

My Pro x15 is like 75% success rate on working with the auto drop. Super cold or nose down hill much less likely.

I have the Ford low profile hard tri-fold (rebranded Bakflip I believe), and it works with the power tailgate no problem.

Mine used to work fine but then I adjusted my cover and it’s not working. Need to realign my Ford tri fold.
