I ended up going with the Truxedo Lo Pro QT. It was between that and the Tonno Pro Loroll. I figured for the extra money I'd support local business and get a made in the USA product. I'm happy with, we'll see how it works out long term.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems like folks have had some spotty customer service from them, but one of those deals that makes you want to gamble. $60 difference I'd buy local....$150 difference I might give them a call. I've got an appointment for Wednesday for my Lo Pro QT locally, if I can get these guys to answer the phone tomorrow I might reschedule that.

I ordered an Access Original a couple weeks ago. Upon receipt it was damaged slightly, but the real down side was some time in the last couple years they have changed their vinyl. Instead of just the fine leather-look grain, they have added this "chicken scratch" pattern to it; a random pattern of semi-shiny lines. I thought it would grow on my, but I just don't think I could get used to it. First world problems. So, that was kind of a bummer that it pretty much eliminates Access as a brand for roll up soft covers now, which is unfortunate because I like their features the best overall. I've started to narrow it down between: Truxedo Lo Pro QT - around $500, lifetime warranty, made in USA. Saw one locally and it looked good save for being a little loose (probably just not tightened down well). Tonno Pro Lo Roll - around $275, 10 year warranty, made in China. Saw one yesterday and for the money it didn't look bad at all. I'm leaning toward the Truxedo. Any others I should be considering in this price range? Don't want to go cheap on a cover for a new truck, but around $500 is my intended price cap. My main requirements are: Good looks and quality construction - no arch from the bows showing through the top, etc. Good tension Decent water and dust protection for bed (will be adding seal kit as well)

This is one of the best vehicle forums I've ever been on. You guys are awesome and full of info. I'm doing my soft cover research now. My dad is on his 3rd Access Original soft cover. 3 different trucks, all have been great for him. That is the direction I am leaning, but I'm going to stop by a local cover shop on my way home today and get their thoughts as well and see what they carry. ETA: Stopped by the shop, they install Truxedo. Their prices were lower than Amazon, installed. Still think I like the looks of the Access Original better than the Lo Pro QT from Truxedo. Nice cover though.
