    Hey guys, new here. As the title says, I'm looking for an OEM tri-fold tonneau cover for my '20 TRD Off Road, and I'm hoping to not pay the dealership prices for it haha. I've done some quick googling, but haven't seemed to find many alternative retailers, so I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions. I'm located in Kentucky, and would be interested in new or used, as long as everything is still in good condition and I wouldn't have to worry about any leaks. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. And if there's a more appropriate forum for this, please do direct me. Thanks in advance for any help!

    The OEM is bascially a Solid Fold 2.0 or one of the other Extang covers rebranded

    We had the OEM cover on our 17' and it was a POS as it flopped around and couldn't be adjusted, I sold it 2 months after we bought the truck. Have you looked at other covers we have a MX4 on that 17' and we just got another 22' Tacoma and I put the LOMAX cover on it, the Lomax is the way to go IMO.

    Totally agree... I have one and it is a POS. Look at MX4, or some thing similar. Plus you can only get one when you order truck, not from dealer as an accessory. Used/take off is only way. I say don't do it. But opinions are like assholes, everyone has one...lol

    P.S. it leaks and is heavy. Tried adjusting it, and that helped a wee bit.

    If you look at MX4 look at the panels closely as mine has little dents all over that I only really see when it's wet since it's the matt color.

    Don't listen to them OP, the OEM cover is a rock solid piece of gear. Look for a used one nearby.

    Hail will do that to them. Here in CO, it's just a matter of time.

    Ya totally agree, the issue I have with it is our truck has zero hail but the panels on the cover have a bunch, they are small but thy are there. This LOMAX cover is aluminum panel so It should hold up much better.

    They all look good and serve its purpose if it don’t rain where you live!
    I got mx4 and leaks all over even after trying to seal everything, strong though, 400lbs on the cover no problem, but 4 yrs and all the small screws are rusted……FYI

    I think that has been address and found to be not correct. Extang doesn't make the cover. I have two 2018 Tacomas and both were ordered with the factory cover, no issues, holds up well, doesn't leak but the tailgate lets water in when they get washed. Plus the fit and finish is better than any cover I have seen so far, but that my opinion. I like the OEM cover best because it follows the bed lines perfect as opposed to a squared off look from other covers on the corners.
