What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Those of you with tonneau covers, do you have any regrets? I'm a total newb to these things and swore i'd never get one. But my camping needs are changing and believe I'm moving to a trailer. I would like a bit of security in the bed and to keep some items out of the weather.

 

NONE.

It's awesome.

I have the Extang Solid-Fold 2.0 - I can take it off in less than a minute, put it back on in under 5, and it keeps everything locked up and secure.

 

I had one for a while , it was nice. But the security aspect of it wasn’t really there with mine.

I ended up going with a shell for camping and recently picked up a trailer and absolutely love it .

 

I was against them for so long, until I got one. I like it because it keeps things hidden and can also be moved out of the way for larger items.

 

I have no regrets at all. I have a Gator Trifold. It's on the cheaper side, but have had no issues for over a yr now. It will keep your things out of the weather and eye sight for sure, but really has no security as a pocket knife would cut through it.

 

not entirely regretful for buying it. it has been useful for protecting gear and groceries when traveling. however, after getting rear ended and the tailgate being stuck shut, i think a shell might be an option i'm going to look into so that the bed isn't inaccessible when the tailgate is in a locked position.

 

Killer setup

 

Not placebo IMO- the material is thicker than stock cloth so that’s the plush. It does feel better

 

I enjoy my G2 bakflip. Does leak a little but could be due to poor installation by yours truly. Solidly built and very low profile. It is on the more expense end and Im sure there are cheaper options that will provide the same security.

 

I purchased this tri-fold soft tonneau a few years ago. It has worked well. If I need to remove it only takes a few minutes and the same with the Billiebars. I also got the tailgate locking system from KTJO shortly after the tonneau purchase.

 

Thanks guys. @Frsh2df that is really nice!

I like the idea of ease of removing too. I'll look at that extang and gator that have been mentioned.

Y'all have a good one.

Edit: thanks for the other recommendations too.

 

No regrets at all. I have a retrax cover that locks and has tracks to mount accessories. Slides in and out to no issues with hitting anything.

 

this made me laugh. fkn old over here..

 

Truck came with it and while I generally could take or leave it, occasionally being able to lock up stuff in the back was a big plus. Lots of meth heads stealing anything not bolted down around here...

 

'Bout 99.99% sure I'm going this route. I've been addicted to seeing some builds with these little things.

Yeah I started off with a tonneau cover and a bed rack and rtt. Got tired of having to shimmy under it all to get things out the bed since the tonneau wouldn’t open.

Sold it all and got the shell, and got a killer deal on the trailer about a month ago.

I liked both set ups, but wished I just went with the shell from the get go.

 

Thanks I appreciate it

 

Drove it in the woods (Allegheny National Forest). Got into a pretty dicey situation climbing a narrow and rutted out path in the mud. One side was a steep hill into water, the other a rocky woodland cliff. KO2 + rear locker and A-Trac really came through.

 

Only regret I have is getting the factory one as to use the whole bed for something high you need to totally remove it which is a pain and inconvenient if your'e out somewhere. Will definitely be looking at replacing at some point with a BAKflip or Lomax.

 

Adding my tonneau cover (Lomax) was one of the first mods I did 3yrs ago and I definitely have no regrets.
The first time you go on a trip of any kind you'll appreciate it!
