Whether you want a hard tonneau cover, a folding tonneau cover, or just a way to cover your cargo, look no further than Extang's newest creation: the Solid Fold Tonneau Cover.
A hard, lightweight version of the renowned Extang Trifecta Tonneau Cover, the Solid Fold gives you all the security you need with incredibly easy to use features. Aircraft-grade aluminum with a sound honeycomb core gives each section unyielding toughness, yet the cover weighs just 50lbs. And, the black Poly-Tex finish provides sport-style looks.
There's no easier hard folding tonneau cover to use than the Solid fold. Simply drop your tailgate, pull the spring-loaded SpeedKlamps and fold back. The clamps even tuck into the cover. Then, the folded cover latches together with integrated buckle straps.
Installation is easier than any other hard tonneau cover. In fact, you can mount the Solid Fold to your bed without assembly, tools or any other hassles in 5 minutes or less. 3-year warranty.

Looks great, extremely simple and quick to install, easy access to stored items, flexibility to carry items taller than the bed without removing the cover entirely but lightweight and small enough to easily remove if necessary and reasonably secure. Compared to previous hard tonneau covers I've had before this is a much more versatile product. My only complaint is that it should be packaged more conformally to the box as there was some slight damage to the metal and rubber seal at the hinge.

Super easy installation and it functions very well. My one complaint is that you have to close it before closing the tailgate which then angles the weatherstripping inward on the tailgate. I have a 2013 Ram and the tailgate has a little lip on it so water drains forward on it and seeps in through the weatherstripping into the bed of the truck. Not a lot, but more than I expected.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this tonneau cover. I wanted one that was solid for security reasons, and I wanted one that folded for convenience reasons. This cover is great. The finish on it was perfect and it arrived very well packaged and with absolutely no damage. For those interested in this aspect, there are no issues with the cover fitting with the bed extender in the truck bed. AutoAnything was great to work with and delivery was very prompt.

Although the packaging of the shipping box was broken open when it was delivered, the cover was not damaged. It could not have been easier to install on my 2009 Chevrolet Silverado. Must have taken about 10 minutes, including final positioning. It is very secure with the tailgate locked and I have not had any problems with water getting in the truck bed. I couldn't be happier with the results of my purchase!

Nothing new to add that hasnt been said already. Quality product, solid, well made. That being said, this is not as waterproof as its vinyl trifold brother. I think that is to be expected from something with hinges... although very little leakage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaGC4xMqLrE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This cover was extremely easy to install. Literally 15 minutes out of the box. The cover looks great. Have not used it in a driving rain to see if there is any leakage, but have noticed that the seals look tighter now than was first installed. Seemed to need a little time to seat. So far, very satisfied.

What is cargo management? Also not sure how long my bed is I have a extended cab but I know it's not an 8 foot bed just curious to which tonneau cover to buy. Thanks!
Answered by Nathan S. — Apr 18, 2013 5:32 PM
Hi, Some trucks come from the factory with a cargo management system, which are a set of rails inside of the bed with movable tie-down points. To determine bed length, measure the distance in between the inside of the closed tailgate and the inside of the front of the bed.

The coating is described as poly-tex. Is this a spray-on material on top of the aluminum panels? If so, how would this compare to a vinyl cover on top of the panels? The other cover I'm considering is a TonnoPro Hard Fold. It also has aluminum panels but is coated in a 24 oz vinyl.

Hi, Both finishes are extremely durable. Check out the reviews at the bottom of the page for a better idea of what our customers think of both products.

What does "evenly distributed" mean? Will it support a 230 lb man standing on one of the 3 panels
Answered by Nathan S. — Jan 28, 2013 1:40 PM
Hi, "Evenly distributed" would be a 230 lb man completely flattened across the entire surface of the cover.

Can you lock the exTang bed cover down?
Answered by Nathan S. — Jan 14, 2013 8:51 AM
Hi Molly, The cover itself doesn't lock, but we do offer a Pop-N-Lock kit which allows your tailgate to lock, preventing access to the latches on the tonneau cover.

I have the cargo management rail system inside my bed. Does this product clamp to it or does it need to be removed?
Answered by Elizabeth C. — Jun 29, 2012 3:34 PM
Extang provides adaptors for the rail, so no, you do not have to remove it.

The back tailgate doesn't go straight across, It has a curve? What keeps the water from coming in underneath the cover? Thanks Debbie

There is a soft seal which conforms to the contour of the tailgate.

Where do the notches need to be cut in over the rail bed liners? What about liners with tracks in them?
Answered by Nathan S. — May 04, 2012 11:05 AM 1996 Dodge Dakota
The notches will have to be cut where the attaching clamps go, under the bed rail. The Tacoma sometimes has a cargo management system (tracks on the inside of the bed) installed from the factory under the bed rails.

Each cover is designed to fit the intended application and will fill in any gaps either with the panel or seal material.

Interested in your tonneau cover but is there any way that you can lock it down to prevent theft of contents in the bed of your truck???
Answered by Albert M. — Jan 10, 2012 1:02 PM
To my knowledge, if you have a Ford, the tailgate locks since the late 1990's. You may be able to now get lockable tailgates on other model pickups. So, that being said, if you can't open the tailgate, you can't reach under the hard cover to pull down the spring loaded latches, to open the cover.

WHAT IS A FLARESIDE BOX?
Answered by Albert M. — Jan 10, 2012 1:09 PM 2011 Ford F-150
Flareside pickups always have the narrow bed with no wheel well hump, because the wheel is on the outside of the box as opposed to under the box in style side pickups. For that reason, there is a little wheel well up on the side of the box to accomodate the wheel well. These boxes are now usually a plastic material as opposed to metal. They often have a little step built into the side of the box, just forward of the wheel well. They look cute, but sacrifice too much space to be practical. All pickups prior to the 1960's were flare side.
flagAnswered by Whitney B. — Nov 05, 2010 2:28 PM
Hey Ladon, Most trucks have side panels that sit outside of the wheel wells. However, a flareside box has panels that sit inside the wheel wells. Most trucks built prior to the 1970s sport these fareside beds. Hope this helps!
