Rugged Liner hard tri-fold tonneau cover

Hello everyone,

Just got Rugged tri-fold tonneau cover today from UPS. Ordered it from Auto accessories garage on Veterans day, and paid around $603 after 20% Veterans day special.
Part #HC-T 516 for 5ft bed.

Install took about 20 minutes for me, so not to bad. I live in Socal, so no rain but did a hose test and had no leaks. Can't say it will if we had constant rain, so I guess I have to wait until El Nino unleashes rain.

 

Is that cover made for the '16? It seems to overhang on the corners a bit.

 

Yes, sorry forgot to mention it was for a 2016 Tacoma. I pulled it back a little so no water will leak through the tailgate.

 

Looks like the Extang SolidFold design but with easier-to-use latches and better-fitting T-slot adapter blocks for the bed rails.

 

Yeah I was debating between this Rugged and Extang. So far I'm happy with my purchase. I like how the cover extends a little bit further on the sides and the rubber flap on the cab side. If you look at the pic, you can see its almost on the edge of the bed rail. Hope that helps with no water leakage.

 

Thanks for the review and photos!

 

nice,, just ordered the RETRAX in flat black to fit mine,, i hope it works good

 

Congrats on bed cover ... great pics!

 

Thank you.

 

I thought about the Retrax until l read the reviews on Amazon

 

Will any cover hold up off road

 

The overhanging corners look a little weird, but if it keeps the bed dry, then that is a price I'm willing to pay.

 

I could of pushed the cover more towards the cab, but wanted to make sure I cover the tailgate for water leakage.

 

That's what I kind of figured, but wasnt sure.

 

looks better than the OEM TC and no cutting

 

REtrax makes two versions, cheap one sucks,, the other one is all metal and including drum and is backed by a lifetime warranty. I know 4 people and they love them.

 

Hmmm...ok

 

It sounds like the cover is too short.

 

Did the tonneau come with a seal for the other three sides of the tailgate? If not, many online stores sell them. The tailgate will leak without a seal around its entire perimeter. Example: http://www.pickupspecialties.com/trailseal.htm

 

No but all 4 sides have a rubber seal, which seems to hold up after I hosed it down. The real test will be when it rains here in southern Cal.
