I ordered a Leer 700 Hard Tonneau to go with my Bedrug. on my Topaz Blue Metallic Crew Cab Shortbed LTZ.

We will see how the color match comes out. Should be in by the end of the month.

I got the Retrax One which is very nice. I had Retrax punch out the stake holes to match the bed rails so I can use them with the cover on.

 

There are so many nice Tonneau covers available.

Looking for a soft roll up tonneau, just wanted to see which one is the best for our trucks? I see most guys are getting hard tops but I hate how much space they take up in the box and don't like my dirt bike being pushed up against it when I have it in the back. Any suggestions

Does anyone have the Bakflip VP on their truck? If so any pros/cons on this cover. Im looking to buy one but can't quite make up my mind. It is between the Bakflip VP, Bakflip G2, Undercover Flex or the Bakflip Roll X? Any input on any of them. Thanks.

I run an Access soft rollup Tonneau cover.

was like $275 on amazon.

easy to install. looks nice. keeps my stuff dry.

best of all, rolls up in a minute when I put my quad in the bed.

I have the vp, was in the same boat, couldn't decide between the vp or g2. It advertised the vp as flat with no hinges showing, well from 10ft off it is. If you walk up to it you can make them out under the vinyl. With that being said, I love this cover, easy install, looks great, has to be one of the lowest profile covers available. It sits damn near flat with the bed rails.no water whatsoever on my bed rug either. Definitely recommend it.

I have the Undercover Flex.

 

Not impressed with the finish/attention to detail. There are beads of sealant showing on the exterior of some of the rubber seals, the rod & lever lock on the third panel is very flimsy, if the long rod (passenger side) is not perfectly aligned with the rails the whole rod bows out and it doesn't lock under the rail. Lots of sharp edges on the sheetmetal brackets and the rail caps aren't sealed into the rails. All these things would be easy to overlook in a lower priced product, but for $700+ I would at least expect them to have someone wiping the excess sealant off the exterior seals.

 

As for functionality, its easy to open/close, and only took about 20mins to install. I did have to get softer tubing for the drains. Seems to be pretty watertight, a decent day of rain and a pretty thorough washing and there was only a bit of water at the front of the bed where it leaked between the rail and the end cap with the drain fitting (a bit of silicone should solve that). It did take about 2 days of 40°-50° weather before the bedside seals relaxed and laid completely flat against the rail caps.

Clean tailgate

Leer 550 tonneau

I decided on the Leer 550. I liked that it was waterproof and covered all of the black plastic on the bed rails. I painted the handle on the bed cover to match my truck and I removed the "LEER" lettering from the back as well. So far it's served me well. I paid $915 for the cover and install.

I have a BakFlip G2 I believe. Place tried to tell me it was a hybrid of the G2 and Fibremax (Sounds suspicious). I also got the BakBox as well. So far it has been awesome and seems to work well.

I bought a soft tri-fold off of ebay. $220 shipped. It doesn't have a name on it, but it looks just as good and has the same hardware as a friend of mine's name brand. Only had it a couple weeks, but have driven it in rain and it didn't leak at all. Plus, I think it looks great on!

Decided to go with the Bakflip VP will install later today once i get home.

Im not sure were your at but if its cold you might want to take a heat gun and go along the edges to help the rubber settle down. I did mine and bed has been virtually dry inside since install. Take care not to melt it lol. I just did one nice smooth pass.

I've have 2 Access covers, a vanish and a tonnosport and they were both great. I did like the vinyl on the vanish better though. That's what I'll be putting on mine

Im in houston and its going to be like summer soon, so they should settle in the next few weeks.... install was fairly easy took maybe 30 minutes and another 30 minutes to align it somewhat perfect but overall easy install.

    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
