I needed a tonneau cover for my new truck after putting in a Bedrug. (My 3rd Bedrug in as many trucks. Excellent product!) My funds were depleted after buying the truck, and I also needed a set of nerf steps. I went on Autoanything.com, and looked at the reviews on the American Tonneau Co. folding cover. It was only $250. The reviews were great, so I ordered it along with a set of Go Rhino 4" stainless nerf steps. The cover arrived in two days! It came already assembled, and was a piece of cake to put on. It also came with a free tailgate seal and a very nice T-shirt! It rained 3" here two days ago. After driving home 30 miles in the down pour, I pulled into the garage and opened the tailgate. Completely bone dry in the bed. This cover comes with a 10 year warranty on the fabric and lifetime on the frame. A real bargain, if you ask me.

Looks good my friend. Gotta love freebies especially when its something useful.

 

I am currently putting funds together to put a bedrug in now. Im pretty heavily into shoes(sneakers) so ive been parting ways with pairs in my collection that i dont want/wear to pay for my new truck mods ?

Looks awesome! How do you like the Revolver? How is that nameplate installed? Can it be removed? Edited by Kilo-9

I was going to ask the same thing, like the Revolver/Roll-x design, not crazy about the logo plate.

 

Have been thinking about the Revolver, is it any different than the Roll-X? It seems like maybe more locking area, but I tried to look it up a while back, and couldnt really find what made it "better".

So far I really like it. Haven't noticed any leaks yet. I used to have a Bak F1 and I like the X2 better. It also doesn't need drain tubes. I can also close the tailgate without opening the cover.

 

It looks like the branding could be pried up, but not 100% sure. It's probably only glued.

Thanks for the info. If I pull the trigger on the Revolver (pun intended), I'll probably send an email to their tech department to find out if I would damage the vinyl by removing it.

Hey guys. I ordered the Extang Trifecta from AutoAnything but I need some help.

 

After putting on the product per the instructions, I have noticed that you can lift the cover 5.5+ inches with one hand from the middle of the tailgate. I thought that was a bit odd, so I called AutoAnything and they spoke with Extang and apparently this is "how it is." My friend has one that was manufactured 3-4 years ago and he said he cannot lift the cover more than an inch max.

 

Can anyone else with this product chime in?

 

I've attached a picture of my lifting from the middle of the tailgate with one hand.

I would say it's installed incorrectly or it's somehow defective. If were installed correctly, there's no way you could do that. You could not even lift it ONE inch.

That's what I keep telling the reps on the phone, but they don't really seem to care. I followed the instructions and based on logic, I have it installed correctly. Was hoping a few people that have the cover could verify that theirs does or does not do that. Thanks!

Open the tailgate, close and clamp the cover to the rails. Lay down in the bed of the truck, push up on the cover and snap a picture of the rear clamps. If the clamps have springs, you won't be able to lift the cover.

So far pretty good. Sealed better than the Bak F1 on my 2014. You'll like it.

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
