what tonneau cover?

GlenS · December 23, 2016

Been thinking about a roll up tonneau cover do you guys have and like? Im in cold climate. Tired of bed being full of snow. like the roll up Velcro ones. Going to get a truck cap like the rest of my trucks just can afford a new z series yet. Damn they got expensive since I bought my 11. Traded it in with cap.

Roll up Velcro gets old quick, not just metaphorically but literally too.

I live in Florida so the cold climate part I am not an expert in. The problem with most roll ups is that they require small support beams to hold everything up and eventually snow will be too much. Here in Florida we only see torrential down pours so they quickly flow off. I prefer the roll up kind that does not snap or Velcro. The brand i prefer and have used is only available on eBay currently(i'd post a link but my work computer blocks ebay). "Advanation" is their eBay store name. I have had 3 of their cheapest tops, $120, on 3 different trucks and the top outlasted my relationship with the prior 2 trucks. I did have a trip up north once and came outside to 6 inches of snow on my tonneau and that was help up just fine.

That being said, i also have gained interest in these newer tri-fold tonneaus i just have not purchased one yet. My judgement was clouded by prior experience instead of checking reviews to see if their was just another way. Anyway my friend has this cover and its pretty sweet and has great reviews, all while being cheap.

I have a Tonno Pro tri fold that I like very much and seems like it will last. It is on my 2016 so I haven't had it long. I live in the North East and also get a decent amount of snow. They also have a hard version also. I bought it online for $279 and it had a $50 mir at the time so not overly expensive.

I will give a good review of the TruXedo Lo Pro

As a resident of a snowy region, I can say i have never doubted my cover's ability to hold up to a snowfall. Granted if you park outside in a blizzard, you may want to brush the snow off every 12" or so, lol.

But I really like how this one keeps tension on the cover at all times, so it doesn't sag like ones that just velcro along the tailgate. also, its fast to open up if you want access to the bed.

I frequently haul things in my truck, so I don't like the solid folding ones. But if you never need it open, maybe that is a route you want to go.

thank you guys. I will look into them.

Have a Merry Christmas.

I've had an Access Lorado tonneau cover for a few years now and happy with how well it holds up. They have a 5-year warranty as well.

I also like the way it fits, lower profile, still has access to bed grab-holes, and rolls up easy.

Snow is not an issue for my Access [emoji38]

Any opinions on the BAK Revolver X2 or the Titanium Truxedo rolling hard covers?

NoProblem · December 23, 2016

I've got the BAK Revolver and love it in summer, not in winter. I don't really keep anything in the box I need to worry about getting wet, mine leaks a fair amount, mainly from the front corners.

When it gets around 25-30 degrees or so, it's hard to roll up, the colder it is, the harder it is to roll up - like trying to roll up a frozen stiff rug. Once you manage to roll it up, it does not seat in the rails when you roll it back down - you need to go to the front of the box and pound it down every few inches all the way to the back on both sides - the colder it is outside, the worse it is.

Other than that, it's a good cover.

Steamboat, CO, actually. I love Houghton though. I'd like to go up for LSPR someday.

Steamboat......i was way off. I have skied there once though. LSPR is a good time. I did media there. Got some wild footage. We traded our footage for in-car footage of a sweet rollover.

Ive had the roll x by bak industries. Ive had 3 actually. I have the 6 foot one for sale. I no longer own the truck. I presently have the the gm brand one on my truck now. I like them a lot. we don't get snow very often in texas but the durability is good. I think the ad for them use to have a person and a alligator on the bed cover to demonstrate the weight capabilities. I personally would not try that but that's advertisement. I like it better than a soft cover but they are a little pricey. its just aluminum slats with vinyl over them that allows it to roll up. Its a good product.

Rolling the dice on a Revolver X2 return warehouse deal one from amazon. Guarenteed to be fine they say. Price was good enough to try. Crossing fingers.

Ordered the Bakbox too and also a couple Amp Bedstep2s to get in the darn thing lol.

I live in Vermont and have the extang emax http://www.extang.com/emax-folding-tonneau-covers.html. It's a trifold that gives you access to your complete bed. Works for me.
