Tonneau Cover Reviews

That would be great! I'd appreciate it. What's the difference between the Lorado and Limited? Is it just the accessories included with the limited?

 

What's the word? I'm anxious! Trying to decide between the Original and Lorado.

 

Not a fan of the Lo Pro. You lose some width on the bed. I've heard good things about both brands, but better things about Access.

 

Not trying to start anything, but aren't you the one going back and forth on what one to get? Why haven't you pulled the trigger yet on the Lo Pro. Honestly just looking for information and your opinion

 

Todd didn't mention anything about losing 3 inches. I've heard mixed reviews on losing the ability to use the cleats with the Lo Pro. Both Access covers allow functionality of the cleats.

 

I realize that, but I'm going off users reviews that say the cleats aren't as usable with the Lo Pro. I have things I need to haul such as a dirt bike that I will need functionality of the cleats. I've read some better things about the quality of the Access as well.

 

Received this reply today from fold-a-cover concerning the G4 Elite.

"I think we're just waiting for a supplier or two to deliver some of the final parts we need to begin assembly on these covers. I imagine that you'll be notified within the next 2-4 weeks that they are taking orders.

Sorry for the delay."

 

Any update on this?

 

When it came in the box clearly says 05-15. I emailed Lund and they said it will not fit and a revised one will be available soon. Havent figured out what Im going to do yet. I like the canvas style and it seems Lund is the only one that makes that in a roll up. If I go trifold it would be a soild fold but didnt want to spend that much right now. May end up going that route since I will miss out on the extra $50 mail in rebate from Lund.

 

Dang that's no fun. Hopefully you can return it no problem. I just ordered an Access TonnoSport which is a roll up. I'll let you know how the fit is and how install goes.

 

Here's my review of the Retrax MX Pro.

The short version: It kicks @$$.

The less short version: This is an excellent tonneau cover.

On the ground: The craftsmanship is excellent. Seriously, there is NOTHING wrong with this cover as far as factory build goes. Retrax didn't skimp on anything.

Mine did have a shipping problem. The latch wasn't secured, it popped through the box and was snapped. It must have been some serious force to have snapped it because this thing is really strong. Anyway, after a five minute call to the factory, a new latch was on the way (more below).

The assembly and install: The instructions warned me to set aside 1.5 hours for the install. It took me that long to get it assembled and on the truck without adjusting for perfection (more below). I was fully expecting something to be cheap as I put this thing together. Yeah, for the price I shouldn't but I'm used to being disappointed with little things like cheap attachments, screws, etc. Not on this thing. Every single thing I pulled out of each box and bag was of excellent quality. Even though it took me an hour and a half to put it together and get it on the truck it was pretty easy even for a man of my limited mechanical prowess. Oh, and I did it in the driveway in the dark by the glow of the bed light and an awesome 9 y/o young man holding a Mag Light. The only thing that bummed me out was the instructions telling me to remove the rail cleats (again, more below).

The "perfection" adjustments: I waited a couple of days for this just because it started storming as I finished the install. I wasn't too happy over the days between the install ad the perfection adjustments. It rained everyday and the thing leaked like a sieve especially from the tailgate area. I held out hope that the necessary adjustments would save the day. So, I set out to measure and adjust everything as perfectly as I could. I drilled 2 - 5/8" holes in the front of the bed for the drain hoses from the bottom of the "can." I loosened and then moved the entire cover as far to the back as possible to address the leaking. I also installed a tailgate seal that I ordered with the cover. When I was done, it really looked much the same! I looked forward to the first rain to test the adjustments. Oh, and I was able to reinstall the bed cleats which work flawlessly and do not interfere with the use of the cover - and vice versa. This part took me another hour. So, for me, the total install time was 2.5 hours, but I really took my time to make sure I got it right.

The latch: It came exactly as promised with a new set of keys. It took me 15 minutes to switch out old for new. I bet a professional wrencher could do it in 5, but it took me awhile to figure out that I needed to open the latch to reattach the cable. Once I got past that, it was a breeze to install and worked perfectly.

Using it: The thing looks great. It locks in any position. I bought a steel garbage can to turn into a burn barrel. It didn't fit under the cover, but I was able to move the cover far enough back and latch it so that it held the can in place. Kind of a super quick tie down that works nicely. The cover moves forward and back pretty easily now that it is properly adjusted. The first few days - without the proper measurements - were a little tough, but it's easy now to move it into whatever position it's needed.

When I bought it, I was a little concerned about losing some bed space with the can into which the cover retracts. Sure, I've lost about 10" on an already short bed. However, the increased storage space is priceless for me. I can throw a lot of stuff back there and not worry about it.

Security: I'm sure that a determined thief could break in if they were really determined. However, it would take some doing as this thing is tough as nails. I was determined to test the "500 lb" dissipated weight capacity so my 200 lbs stood on it. It flexed a little, but nothing that concerned me at all. I would warn against trying it with the tailgate open as it seemed to absorb a lot of the weight.

Water: Now that it is adjusted properly, it holds back all rain. I've run it through a powerful car wash and there were 2 - 3" lines of water at the top corners of the tailgate. I suspect a little more of the tailgate seal might fix that. The rest of it was dry.

Anyway, that's about it at this point. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Very nice and similar to my Pace Edwards retractable cover.

I saw yours and thought the same thing. Nice looking cover. Hey, by the way, nice Taco color choice.

 

I have to admit, the thing is amazing, but it is WAY (WAY) out of my price range. Congrats!

 

Thank you sir.

 

Damn mine was over $2100 with install. You got a quality product that will last a very long time!
