I have the truxedo lo pro tonneau cover and its really low and hidden.

i sell more truxedo lo pro's at work than any other cover combined, can be installed in five minutes with an electric impact, pretty water tight, gives you full use of your bed, and the truxedo lopro has a lifetime warrenty, so if any of the seals orvelcro or anything ever wears out, they send you out new pieces easy as hell. amazing company to deal wtih, ive had one on every truck i ever owned and will continue to. also their duece cover is pretty damn nice to get access to the front of the bed, thats currently what i have with a chest toolbox bolted to the bedfloor. works PERFECT minus the big lift and tires, luckily im tall

Where is the best place to get these as far as price goes? I would like to get one, but I don't really want to drop $400 bucks right now.

I have the Truxedo Lo Pro QT, and I believe I dropped about $500 for it, but I love it. Installed fairly easily, and pretty water tight.

Check with your local vendors in town I got mine for $399.00 canadian with taxes in. My vendor was having a sale on them and he told me his cost to get them was about $325.00 so im sure you could get one for under 400 bucks. Good luck

I have the Truxedo Lo Pro QT.

The vendor was on eBay, bought it for dirt cheap - he didn't advertise the brand name (manufacturer set lowest advertised price higher), but if you emailed him and asked him the brand name he would promptly reply. I know it was under $400

I also got the access vanish cover. Have had it for over two years, never given the cover any care and still looks new when I wash the truck. Easy to install and works great. Best thing is that the bars are attached so they roll up with the cover. I can't stand people with hard covers on their trucks. Unless it's to protect irreplaceable stuff I don't see the point. They are just turning their trucks into giant sedans!!!! I don't know about most people but I like using my truck lol load up the atv's, help a friend move, fishing equipment, Hell my girlfriends uncle that has a pickup with a hard cover had to call me to go pick up his sons new bedroom furniture. Naturaly I bashed his toyota tundra the whole time for being a giant camry (they acutally use the same oil filter!!! lmfao). Roll up vinyls are the way to go. The one in your link looks similar to the vanish but I don't see a brand name. Might affect customer service. I once broke the latch that unlocks the cover to roll up and they sent me a new latch in 2 days!!! Awesome customer service. While the latch was broke like an idiot I decided not to roll it up and it started raining and the cover rolled up a bit on it's own causing water to pool inbetween the bars. I'm not talking about a little bit. It sunk the cover a good 3-4 inches between each bar. I had to go for a drive to get the water out because I couldn't push it up. All the while the velcro held on and the bars stayed in place. Afterwards you could see the cover stretched out and wrinkled. I called and they told me to give it a few days in the sun and if no change to call for a replacement. After a few days it was back to normal. It was amazing. Based on my experience I would go with the agricover for the quality of customer service and their product. I had a truxedo cover on my old truck and within a year it was getting those ugly dot stains like you see on a bunch of cars window trim and they were everywhere. Just my 2 cents.

Here are some pics of mine, Had about 30-35k miles on the cover when these were taken. Still looks the same now at 45k miles.

With the news mirror!!!

I have the Extang Revolution on mine and I love it. Think I paid in the low 400s about 3 years ago.

Got my Truxedo Lo Pro QT from ebay seller wholesaledirect27 for $350. Love it.

Brogan · April 21, 2011

Had my Truxedo Lo Pro QT cover for a couple of years now, not an issue with it. Easy roll up and roll down, a 1-man job! You wont be dissappointed!

and NO it doesnt interfere with the bedside rail protectors.

I have the Truxedo Lo Pro QT, picked it up for $350 local but I worked a deal with the shop. I have bought almost everything extra on my truck from them and I got the Truxedo Lo Pro QT, Westin Platinum Oval steps and the shop installing everything so they gave me the parts just over cost. That said I have seen other shops do deals on them for either just under to just over the $400 mark. I had to run a bead of silicon along the bed rail and the cover rail as I have a spray in bed liner and heavy rains let a little bit of rain in. I also had an issue on the front of the bed and had to add a little weather stripping to fill in a gap as well as around the tailgate but the bed of my truck stays 99% dry now.
