Trying to decide on a tonneau cover

I think I'm going with lomax but can't figure out which will work better matte or polyurethane.......

 

Yep, I've got it and I backordered it from Luke here (truck alterations) and it was drop shipped directly from Bakflip. It took about a month to arrive, but it was worth the wait. It sit's super flush, doesn't block the rear window when rolled up completely and rolls and unrolls pretty easy. Only cons are 1. the plastic end caps like to pop off sometimes when rolling up and unrolling, so you'll occasionally have to click them back into place and 2. it gets super hot with the aluminum slat construction in AZ summer weather (like too hot to touch/roll and unroll in the summer), but that will happen with any metal construction tonneau. Mine stays rolled shut 99% of the time anyway.

It's very secure with the oem power tail gate lock.

Overall I'm very happy with the Bakflip X4S and if I wasn't concerned about the rear window being completely blocked when rolled up I probably would have gone with the Lomax Stance.

 

I'm not a cover guy. But the Lomax looks outstanding.

 

I love the urethane - it looks very nice and is a deep black

 

In hindsight, I would suggest going with the Lomax Stance. With the standard Lomax I'm finding that it's kind of a pain to reach stuff I've stored right up against the front of the truck bed (I have to get up in the bed and reach under), with the Stance I could flip it up and get at it from the side. I may end up just selling my Lomax and buying the Stance model instead.

 

this is a fair point - I think you’re right

 

My truck has the genuine Toyota three panel hard cover and I would NOT recommend. The truck isn't three years old and it has faded terribly, turning almost a greenish color. The paint on the metal strip in the center is peeling off and the rubber seals are all dry cracked badly. This is a POS cover, I'm over 36K so Toyota wont stand behind it.

 

Problem I had with the Lomax Stance is it requires you to glue the prop rod anchor points to the paint on the roof of your truck.
Once I saw that the Stance was out. That left the MX4 and the undercover flex. Of those 2 the Flex was way easier to install.

If I wanted just a tri fold the Lomax would have been fine, but as you found out that last flip that exposes the entire bed is a must.

 

Yup. Now I remember why I didn’t get the Stance. Thad said I still love the Lomax because it takes all of 30 seconds to just remove it entirely.

 

Feel free to PM or email me and I will be happy to discuss differences with you if that helps.
