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. 

That does sound appealing.  Dropped Luke an email so waiting to hear back.  First road trip in the truck in a few weeks so just need something by then.  Appreciate the info.

I have the X15 Pro...great cover. Does leak a little in the corners but nothing major(may be in part to not having the rails perfect during installation). I'd def recommend it...the look of the fabric over the vinyl I think is awesome. No issues cleaning it to this point either.

I'm a big fan of the soft roll-ups. Had always been a huge access fan on all other trucks. This time I decided to go with the GM cover. Very slim and love the way it mounts compared to the old access covers. side bars are a lot more sturdy then the old U clamp style everything stays a lot more flush. only thing i wish was it didn't have the bowtie on it.

Well, went with a Lomax Matte vs Stance as I wasn't comfortable gluing the retainer clips to the roof of the truck to hold it up against the cab.  If the 1/3 position is in the way I'll just lift it off.  Luke was great to work with.  Ordered Wednesday, shipped Thursday, and installed yesterday.  Like it more than expected and does give the truck a nice finished look, and of course hides any gear in the back.  I know it's not impenetrable, but better than just the open bed.  Appreciate your thoughts/guidance on this.

What did you end paying for it?

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 required. Took a 700 mile round trip last week and had some rain along the way. Bed was completely dry. $883 at autoanything.com.

I like that looks nice,  may have to place my order.

I got these too. They fit the holes perfectly and even match the texture of the factory plastic bed rails. Purchased through amazon.

I also ordered based on your recommendation.  Looks great!  Thx for the post.

Whatever you do do not go with Tonno Pro or order anything from Real Truck or Tonneau cover world. Their customer service is non-existent! My Tonno Pro arrived damaged and I cannot get any one to even answer the phone at either Tonno Pro or Tonneau cover world. They won't answer the phone and after 100 tries, someone does answer, promises you the moon and does't deliver.  No exaggeration! Tonno Pro, Tonneau cover world and real truck are the absolute worst!  Buyer beware!

I went with the Rough Country hard trifold tonneau cover. The top of it is flush with the top of the bed rails, with only the weather stripping being above that. The front 1/3 doesn't fold, but that's okay. If i need that portion of the bed it's very easy to remove the tonneau and sit it on the side or end of the bed.

I have to throw a recommendation for Truck Alterations and Lomax.   Truck Alterations had the best price and Lomax offers great follow service.   I just received my Lomax yesterday.  When I opened the box, I saw that one of the mounting rails had some scratches on it.   I emailed Lomax this morning and within an hour, I received shipping notice for a new mounting rail.   You can't beat that for customer service.  Nice to see a company stand behind their product and take care of their customers.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
