    Hey guys Im looking for a cover for my 2012 TRD long bed, my last truck had a Truxedo and I was quite happy with it but I noticed a Truxport uses the box rails with big ugly mounting brackets that stick out into the bed quite far.

    I load a ATV into my truck from time to time so don't want a cover with big brackets like the Truxport. Does anyone have pictures of their Low-Pro brackets? Can I still use the factory tie downs with a low pro?


    Or any other brand anyone can recommend (Lund?), how do they mount on the truck?




    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me! :cheers:

    Extang solid fold. There are to brackets for each side that fit in the rails, and you can still use your factory tie down cleats. Their soft fold cover work the same way. Set up time is seconds (once assembled) not minutes, and at a weight of 50 lbs, can be taken of in seconds and stored if it's in the way of larger items you need to carry.
