2014+ Truck Bed / Tonneau Covers

Horacio · November 26, 2014

I just purchased the Truck Cover USA American roll cover with quick release handle for $1413 from autoanything. It pays to use the little chat screen as I went from a msrp of $1650 with $100 off, so $1550 to $1413 after the chat. They also gave me credited me the difference for a catback i purchased earlier because I noticed it was now cheaper. IT all took 10 minutes at best, great place to deal with. Once the truck and the cover both come in and I get a free weekend to install, I'll post pics/review.

After reading your post, I did a little homework on the Truck Cover. I was set on the Retrax, but this looks just as good with an additional two drain holes in the rear. The two toolbox options are nice too.

Think my mind got changed.

Thanks!

If you want a Truck Cover USA cover, you're better off going to a LINE-X dealer. The Truck Gear by LINE-X cover is the same EXACT cover except you get a lifetime warranty instead of a 3-year warranty. Also, you automatically get the optional "keyless entry" handle.

Thanks for the tip!

I thought of that, but I figured any truck gear was full retail and I took a gamble to save money up front. Plus I figured a truck gear place would need to install it for the guarantee which would add even more cost. Again that wasn't a fact a checked, just a hunch I went off of.

I ended up with a BakFlip Fibermax and it is great so far. I bought from Morrie at BakFlip Factory Outlet and got a very good price and fast shipping.

Got a Truck Cover USA for $1550 installed by a local dealer.

Love it so far, thing feels sturdy like armor.

Is it possible to notch out the rails on the Truck Cover so the bed stake pockets can be used ?

RoadWarriorMax · December 2, 2014

The rails are metal, not sure if you could do that without messing something up.

Horacio · December 2, 2014

I know Retrax will do it upon request. Sure seems like these cover manufactures should just do it. Why leave it half exposed and useless?

That is one drawback with these covers along with losing a perimeter of bed space from the rails and canister.

You may want to send an email to Truck Covers USA to ask about that, I hear they are in San Diego.

Overall I am really happy with the design, look, and functionality with this cover drawbacks aside.

I would think you could trace out a template and then bring the rails to any machine shop and they could notch out for the pocket. Then you would have to bring the rails to a powder coater and get them recoated. It would be a bit of work, but if it matters to you, then it will be worth it.
