2014+ Truck Bed / Tonneau Covers

LeeDowney · February 3, 2014

Hey guys. I bought the Tonno Pro Hard Fold cover last week for $500 shipped via Fedex to my front door for $500. It gives you the quality of a true hard cover without losing the look of the sleek vinyl cover. It took me about 5 minutes to install. It's pouring down rain here in NC today and my bed is nice and dry. The cover could not fit any better. It's a tri-fold cover that has an aluminum base to give it 350 lbs of support covered in marine grade vinyl that has a 10 year warranty. The structure has a lifetime warranty.

I looked around at many hard and soft covers. This cover gives me the best of both worlds for $500. That works perfect for me. They're are two licensed sellers on ebay that advertise them for $529 but they accept offers. If you offer $500, they will accept. You can't beat this cover for that price. Well worth the money.

Thanks.

Here are some pics of the the Tonno Pro Hard Fold cover if anyone is interested. Sorry for the Ford truck picture but it was a really good picture of the cover.

I bought the one from the dealer says GMC on it tri fold hard with vinyl cover. No leaks, works good. He said it was the best made. He said it must be true, like the internet. 800 dollars, lifetime installed

Got the retrax pro installed today. Review coming in a week or so.

Now all I need is my exhaust tip (9 weeks and counting).

Great thread. I had a Flex on my 2013 I really liked. Looking for another for my 2014 but I have different requirements now. Priority is light weight. 2nd is flush fit.

Just about every bed cover discussion on the internet pretty much mirrors this one. Can someone point me in a different direction?

Received and installed my roll X today. Happy and pleased. Total cost to the door $570. Good deal.

That is a smoking deal, most of the prices I saw for Roll-X when I was looking was 700-825 which is one of the reasons I went with the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite over the Roll-X. Had I seen that price on a new Roll-X I may have bought that one instead.....but oh well, I'm happy with mine and you're happy with yours so thats what matters!

Truxedo tonneau trax.. Love having the adjustable load tie down points that come with it.

Guys with the Truxedo Low Pro Qt can you post up a pic? I'm pretty set on one I just wanna see it installed on our trucks. Thanks.

This is the Lo Pro QT on my '13. You get the idea. The bed dimensions are VERY similar..

Diamondback SE with LineX

I really love these covers. I had one on my H3T and liked it enough to get one for my '14 Silverado. You don't see very many of these since the company is small and most of the covers are made to order (handmade in the USA!). There is a thick rubber seal which does a good job of keeping the water out - only a few drops from heavy rain or pressure washer. Mine is the SE which holds 400 lbs on top. The HD holds 1600 lbs I believe. You can get a kit that adds some rails and has some ramps so you can carry ATV's on top. Both the front and rear panels open so you have full bed access. If you have a load on top of the cover, you can still access the bed. Panel removal is a one-man operation - no tools needed. You can also fold the panel all the way over and strap it down. I believe I paid $1300. If you like the look of polished aluminum diamon-tread, it's $200-300 cheaper without the LineX. I know it costs more than a soft cover, but it does lock and keep your stuff safe & dry. Considering the cost of a fiberglass cover is about the same but less functional, this is definitely a good investment. Check out diamonbacktruckcovers.com. They have other configuations and more affordable covers if you arent concerned about hauling on top.

Undercover Flex - You had a bad experience, but a lot of people have them and they seem to be pretty good otherwise. Undercover copied Bak, but Undercover improved the cover.

Undercover Classic, SE, and LUX: You can't beat them as far as waterproofing. All covers COVER the rails and tailgate and there is a large overhanging seal at the front. The bulb seal underneath the cover is a large two-bulb seal.

Fold-A-Cover (and Advance Cover) - If the installation includes hardware that installs inside the stake pockets, then you're OK. If it does not, do NOT buy the cover. If you get one, get the G4 Elite. Generally, it's an OK cover, but the seals that cover the piano hinges can break after a few years. The seals are replaceable though. Advance Cover is basically the same, company owners are cousins.

If you like a folding cover with locks, take a look at the Extang Encore. It offers more utility than the Fold-A-Cover. NOTE: There was a recall on the Encore. If you buy one, make sure it's the newest model which is NOT part of the recall. The new model will have a tether attached to the front panel.

The Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite locks and opens in the front and back as well.

TechSTL · February 12, 2014

Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite. The jury is still out as to whether it was worth $800. I like that it locks and opens front and back, but I don't like how the weather strip for the tailgate has to fill a large gap between the cover and the tailgate.

Also, when the cover is closed, the end pieces and the middle hinge stick up above the rails.

Is everyone that has the bakflip liking theirs? I am thinking about getting the G2. Maybe the undercover.

I need something easy to remove when I load my atv.

Stay away from the BAK. I had 3 of them in 6 years on my previous Tacoma. They don't hold up well over time, and BAK has crappy customer service. There are many unhappy BAK customers who bought a couple of years ago. I love the design of BAK, but they use substandard materials and charge a premium. The Undercover is a better quality product and competes directly with the Bak F1. I've only heard on person (imcrazy), here and on TacomaWorld who ever had an issue with the Undercover Flex. Many people will say the BAk is great, the question is how long have they owned the cover?
