    Any of you guys have one of the Tyger Tonneau Cover from Amazon? Great reviews and even some decent youtube videos on it, and its under $200!

    I only paid $245 for mine and it’s still,in excellent condition after 3 yrs on truck. Truxport Tuxedo.
    The vinyl is really the only thing that wears. I wouldn’t hesitate with the one from Amazon to save a few bucks.
    I would bet it last for yrs.

    Yep, I have it. Trifold is convenient because it opens and removes easily. Doesn't leak at all for me and fits great.

    If I wouldn't have bought this Tyger one, it would have been a DiamondBack, which I'm still looking at but they're so damn expensive.

    Have a tyger as well. Pretty sturdy cover for being vinyl. The leaking issue can be cured by adding weatherstripping (came with plenty). It also came with a bag to store the cover in when removed which I thought was convenient.

    Not the info you are looking for, but I have an xtang tri-fold that was put on my truck 10 years ago. Still "waterproof" and looks fine. The thing I really like about it is that it is easy to fully remove when I use the bed for bulk loading

    I got one..... works great, no leaking. Its cheap enough to replace every couple of years if the vinyl doesn't hold up but so far it still looks brand new (one year old now).

    Had one for about 3 years, no issues and the vinyl and hardware is still all good. Impressed for the price.

    Just replaced with a soft shell, but can imagine the Tyger lasting many more years.

    Awesome, thanks for the info. I like the thought of the trifold so i can easily remove it to load the bike in the bed. Wasnt sure if i should go with the roll up or trifold but i think i like the trifold.

    With a roll up you wouldn't have to remove the cover at all, since it just rolls up and out of the way. :) That's what made the decision for me.
