Access Lorado vs. Truxedo Lo Pro

[foghorn23]

Looking at installing a soft tonneau on my crew and I was wondering who has experiences with either the Lorado or the Truxedo Lo Pro. They look very comparable and are priced nearly the same so..... which one or does it matter? The Truxedo seems to have a little better warranty. Any advice or experiences appreciated.

I have the Truxedo on my '01 extended cab for about 6mo now and it's been great. The install was very easy and took about 30-45min. Put on each siderail (make sure keep level with the top of the bed) and tighten clamps. This would have been easier with another set of hands to hold them level, but it isn't bad for one person to do it. Put the header at the front of the bed by the cab and tighten the 2 bolts that clamp it in place. Unroll the cover and adjust the tension using the screw on each side and you're done. It is very easy to roll up since the cross bars roll up with the top. I also added a popNlock tailgate lock so I can lock things in the bed. I realize it is a soft cover and could be cut to access anything inside, but my thought is whatever is in the bed is out of sight & out of mind. I bought the cover off a dealer on ebay for $350 shipped and the lock was $27 shipped.

I've got an access cover I had on my 02 since I bought it. I like it alot, very easy for one person to use. Install doesn't take long at all. It comes with weather molding but I added extra rv trim molding just to make sure it was water tight.

The Truxedo lo-pro is nice. We sell the hell out of them at work. I got a free one from the vendor!!!

My son has the old Truxedo on his S-10 and the velcro is getting weak. He needs to take it in for replacement under warranty.

 

I have the low profile Truxedo on my truck and it's great. There is more velcro and the angle of it should make it hold better.

 

Locally, I can find Truxedo dealers, but no Access dealers.

Well I decided on the Truxedo Lo Pro. Supposed to be in either Wed or Thursday of this week. When I get a chance I'll post some pix.

This thing is awesome. I never thought a soft tonneau would fit so well. Thanks for all the input.
