Tonneau Cover Suggestions

[mjrodg]

I'm looking into getting a rollup tonneau cover for my 09 Silverado. I've looked at the Extang but was wondering if anybody has any suggestions, preferences, good or bad experiences? Thanks

I have a extang. Its on my sons 96 now and I bought it for my 99 almost 10 years ago. My father in law has one and had a latch break called them and they sent one out for free.

I have the Truxedo LoPro and love it. I would say to go with any of the name brand ones and you'll be happy.

ok thanks everybody. i just found a truxedo truxport roll up. does anybody have something similar (its not the low profile one). it has velcro to hold it to the rails, any experiences with that? http://www.realtruck.com/truxport_truck_be...14780P1C1T.html

Access....FTMFW!!!!

The extang has a ruber spline that goes into a channel that works real well. I would not get one with velcro. I would rather have snaps that slide in the rail than velcro.

The Extang, http://www.realtruck.com/extang_tuff_tonno...P5593C10T.html# is what I was originally looking at, just not sure if I want the arched cross-pieces or not. I'm really trying to stay under $300.

The Truxedo velcro works fine. I open & close it at least once a week with no problems.

I have a xtang trifecta on my truck.works mint...No need to worry about snaps,velcro,shrinking,etc.I can install a/o remove completly in about 3 min..also seals watertight.Extang also stands behind their product....Had to replace 2 hinges on it through my own stupidity..I called them up and explained what happened.They sent me 2 hinges in the mail at the low price of 0 dollars....

The tuff tonno's not bad, but it's terrible in the cold. The problem with vinyl covers is they shrink in the cold, which makes streching back on the frame a real pain in the a$$ without a heated garage. My vote is for the Extang Trifecta or Access Cover. Since the Trifectas tarp never leaves the frame (the whole thing folds) cold weather is never a problem. The Access has a pair of tension dials at the front that help fix the shrinking problem. Both come with limited lifetime warranties and fit really well.

There's only 1 soft cover i'd ever buy (had it on my 2005).. thats the Extang Full-Tilt

 

It performs 3 functions:

1) Rolls up like every other soft cover

2) Opens as one unit just like a hard cover

3) Comes off the truck in one whole piece in about 30 seconds.

 

I had the thing and LOVED it, and used every one of those features. I also opted to get the 'snapless' version.

 

On my new truck im running the Bakflip HD cover.. its a hard cover that folds. I'm really liking it so far! But its about 3 times the cost of soft covers
