i've seen so many post saying this tonneau cover is best , that cover is best and there are so many choices. how about what covers to stay away from? lets here some negatives, please state why.
thanks
thanks
The Fold a Cover should be available very soon. I believe the part number is TT6632 for the Tundra Double Cab 6.5 foot bed WITH the deck rail system. You may want to contact them on the part number. I've been in contact with them for several weeks on the progress of production. The last I heard, production on the cover would start this week. I was told mine would arrive in about a week. I'll post photos as soon as it is installed.I would stay away from Peragon. While I have to give them credit for being innovative I can't say the same for the design's ease of use or robustness. And it takes hours to install with a finikey alignment. I think there is a reason why Peragon only sells direct on the internet; any dealer worth his salt would be embarassed to have one on display.
The Peragon experience was what has led me to find a cover that does not use integral guide rails or similar as part of it's design. I gotta be able to use the bed like a work truck when the cover is retracted or removed without itenerant rails remaining to get bent or damaged. Looking at covers it appears the new Solid Fold (or Trifecta for semi-soft) would be a first choice followed by Fold-A-Cover. The Solid fold uses no side rail structure whatsoever and the Fold-A-Cover leaves small hardy rails on top of the bed rails that look like they could take more side-loading punishment than any others. The Fold-A-Cover also gives access to open front or rear panel. I'm still leaning toward a Solid-Fold. Neither makes are ready for the new Tundra as of this date but they're working on it.
After my Peragon experience I promised myself to see a cover in person (installed or in-store display) before buying.
ok , mostly looking for a soft cover , roll up type. i google some hard types and they look great but i need to have my bed access on a whim and they cost too much. i figured to stay away from snap types.have heard you need good support/tension or rain will fill the middle. thanks againHow about narrowing the playing field. Do you want a hard or soft cover?![]()
I don't like that freeze talk. And yes, they're mucho $$$thats cause those things are crazy money rambn, and they freeze. anyway i hear a lot of talk about problems with snaps rusting and tearing through. my opinion, nonsense! i had a cheapo sportmaster hinged cover with snaps and three years later as the dealer took in my 04 limited as part of the trade for my 07 he said nice cover! so.... i am waiting delivery on an extang full tilt snapless this week from truck addons dot com. $297 i hear the snapless are a little though to roll up. hope not, wanted to go with a cleaner look. i like the tilts cause there faster to get into and if your tailgating they protect from sun and wind. my 2 cents!
Meant to ask earlier, since you obviously have a professional interest in these sorts of things (judging by previous posts), what do you think of the Extang Solid Fold I was planning on getting as far as build quaility, design, etc.?Bak has had many problems in the past. My understanding is that they have tried to correct these problems. If you buy a Bak product, I suggest you look it over really good.
I emailed Undercover yesterday (5/21) and the VP of marketing said that it would be 45 days. I have two friends who have the Undercover (Dodge & Ford) and they are awesome. It's a hardcover, but it's 'plastic' and very light. My buddy with the Ford takes his on and off all the time by himself. It's fairly water-proof (although they won't tell you that) and lockable to protect your cargo--which is what I want. I've always had camper shells on my pickups so that I can throw my camping/hunting gear in and not have to worry about it.I emailed undercover about their covers.
this was the reply:
"WE WILL BE SHIPPING THE DOUBLE CAB OUT IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND THE CREW MAX ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT. THANKS"
i am looking foward to buying one of their covers
