Is This A Good Cover? Would You Suggest Another?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am looking for a soft tonneau cover. After searching, I've visited all the major manufacturers websites and can't seem to find what I am looking for. I want a velcro (no snaps) cover, something similar to this cover or this cover

 

However, I am open to suggestions. Keep in mind I need to be able to roll/fold it on the go. I also have the dealer installed bedliner, cargo rails, and bed rail protectors. I would not mind taking these off if need be. It got to stay tight, and I'd rather not have it smacking up and down while I am on the highway. I am driving down to NC in two weeks and I want the cover on by then.

 

Thanks for your advice.

I have the Extang Trifecta and love it.No tools needed for installation and it has'nt leaked at all.Folds up fast and can be removed just as easily.

Get an Access brand, accept no substitutions. The GM accessory one is made by Access, but it is NOT the same quality as an Access branded one. I know, I compared them, so did my dealer and he agreed. Yet they are the same price? I had an Access on my 2000 for 7+ years and with bi-annual vinyl treatments, it still looks and functions like brand new today. I put one on my new truck without thinking twice about it. Awesome cover!!!! A buddy of mine has a F150 with a Truxedo and he always comments on how "tight" mine is and his flaps in the breeze.

I got the extang saber and to date I have had no regrets, but I would trade that in for an Access Branded cover that Jeff mentioned above.

i got mine from dealer with the bowtie logo on back. Velcro with the bows secured to cover so you can roll up in seconds. Looks like the ones you ve pictured. I ve had snaps before too and the velco is better. Tight, secure, you can open gate without a problem.

I bought an Access Lorado cover. Haven't had it long enough to say much about durability but I sure like it. It's built very well, operates easily, and stays very tight. Looks good too.

I just ordered the Tonneau masters TM-80 tonneau cover, i looked at it in the showroom of a local business and decided thats what I wanted. it has all the things you are looking for, velcro, roll up, fits inside the bed rails, and is adjustable to keep it tight. Here is the link Tonneaumasters TM-80 cover

 

The business that I found it at tests all the items they sell here in the cold of interior Alaska for quality and durability which make me feel a little more comfortable purchasing one.

Cool deal... make sure you post some pics when you get it so we can check it out. I would imagine Alaskan winters are pretty hard on stuff. BBBRRRRR! I know they would be hard on me!

 

Down here it rarely gets down to 40 degrees! YAY US! (but we don't ever get to play in the white stuff)

Thats why I take my vacations down there in the winter, my in-laws live in North East TX.

Thanks to all for your opinions. I actually ordered the Extang Express Roll Top this morning, only to call Josh at Real Truck, to ask him to change the order to the Access Limited. He mentioned that he was partial to the Access product for the build quality and durability. It was a bit more money, but if it lasts and stays tight, it is money well spent. As I understand it, the Access Limited has a tensioner which allows you to pull the cover taut, in addition to metal bows throughout the cover. It also comes with weatherstripping for both the front and back of the bed.

 

Pics and impressions to follow.
