Truxedo Truxport for me. Soft cover that folds all way up. I like the price and value. Paid $309 through AutoAnything. I use my whole bed. The trifold hard cover doesn’t let you use 1/3 of the bed wit

Nice looking truck. I have the LoMax Access tri fold. Put it on about 6wks ago when I got the truck. Good fit and finish. Tailgate works without interference. Fairly easy install with no drilling requ

Truxedo Pro X15 is my choice. $490 after tax on ebay and sits flush! Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

I am close to buying an RST, and will be in this boat shortly. On my Colorado I had an Access Lorado(6 ft bed), and It worked out for me when I bought it. Having said that- I realized that most tonneau covers in general have rails along the inside of bed, that keeps you from being able to use a bike rack across top of rails.

 

I know there are uber expensive ones that allow you to retract and have a bike rack within their rails, but 1500 doesn't excite me! Before I pull the trigger on another cover, I gotta research bike racks and covers a bit better.

I pulled the trigger on the Lomax. It will arrive Wednesday according to fedex tracking. I think for my needs and budget it was the best choice. Hopefully I’m not disappointed. I’ll update with pics and thoughts after I get it installed. Thanks for all the replies.

If you go with the LoMAX, get ahold of Luke at Truck Alterations. I got mine from him for $675 shipped, which was significantly lower than anyone else I could find. This was in December 2019.

I just traded emails with Luke.  He is still at $675 with free shipping.  That is over $200 less than everyone else.  Everything good when you dealt with Luke and truckalterations.com?  Is that cover easy to remove if you need access to the entire bed?  I assume it is but would like real world experience.  :)

Yes I’ve gotten a few tonneau covers as some other truck items from him as well. All of my experiences have been great. I leaned about him through another (Ford) forum back when I had an F150.

I have the X15 Pro on mine and I love it. It sits flush and I really like the look of the fabric as opposed to the vinyl. It does leak a little at the corners but nothing serious enough for me to be too concerned with.

Assuming you're talking about the LoMax Access Tri-fold............it's easily removable for full bed access.  That's a great price as I paid $883 with free shipping.

Thoughts on Gator EFX vs LOMAX?  Realtruck.com has the Gator EFX for $649 vs working with the guy mentioned above at $675.  Obviously the money diff doesn't matter.  Just want a nice cover.  Thanks guys.

So my Lomax cover arrived yesterday. It was a breeze to install. Overall I’m pleased with the fit and appearance. Of course my impatience cost me a couple hundred bucks. I ordered it before the post about the vendor selling them for 660$. Oh well. Can’t worry about that now.

That's a nice clean bed cover.  Like it a lot.

Actually looks like the Gator FX is the one comparable to the Lomax.

Thanks Greg, the simplicity is what attracted me to it. The seams are only about 1/4”. As far as install and removal goes, I think it will be quite easy to remove when needed. 
 

I traded an ‘18 Tacoma for the trail boss and it had a factory Toyota tri-fold. It was heavier and had a bolt to remove. Not super hard but more to do. This one just folds up, secure the keepers, slightly lift and slide toward the rear. Nice and simple.

      OCI, not when but why?

      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.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      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.
