Folding Tonneau Covers Reviews

About a year ago I purchased the roll up tonneau cover, which was more expensive. Unfortunately, it was damaged due to a mishap requiring me to get another. This cover installed quickly and easy. I think it even looks much better. It fits tighter and allows a little more room in the bed of the truck. Would you like to know about the mishap? Well, the roll back cover has a long strap to open and assist in the closing of the cover. I inadvertently tossed the strap out of the bed to load an item. As I drove off the rear tire ran over the trailing strap pulling the (rather pricy) cover and frame causing bending beyond repair. It also managed to put a dent into the side of the vehicle. Oh well, watta ya going to do? Live and learn I guess?

Installation took about 30 minutes including reading instructions. I have a Bedrug, rail guards and GM tie downs installed on my truck - theredfore was concerned about the fit - but the Trifecta clips on with four clamps and has a thick rubber type seal around the perimeter. Fit was great without any alterations on my part. Intially, I was going to buy the BakFlip G2, but after reading the reviews and considering the price difference, bought the Trifecta. I also did not want to have to cut holes in the bedrug for drain tubes as would have been the case with the BakFlip. So far no problems and after a couple hundred miles it appears my avg MPG has increased about 1 mpg. Glad I made the purchase. Price from AE was the best around.

This is my 1st experience with a tonneau cover. I bought my truck used and the old cover was obviously damaged as the vinyl had been cut off and the frame left in place. It took me longer to remove the old frame than it did to put the new cover on. Right away I noticed a smoother ride. Most of my travel was local so I didn't notice any improvement in gas mileage right away. I just recently made a long distance trip this weekend and noticed a considerable increase in gas mileage between the cover and smart driving. We're in a dry spell and I cannot answer for the cover's ability to keep cargo dry at this point. Overall, I am quite please that I finally made the decision and that I went with this cover.

The installation is easy. I also got a tail bed seal kit with my purchase of the cover which helped too. I used some of it near the cab because there was so much water coming in. That seemed to stop about 95% of that water. The tail gate has a few places where even weather stripping will not cover, but I don't think much water can get in there.The cover itself seems to be of very good quality and after weather stripping some extra places it seems to keep almost all the water out. I have taken it threw a brushless car wash and it has been driven in the rain and only a few drops of water made it in. I am happy about that, but that is the only reason I didn't give it 5 starts. It also took 2 weeks to be shipped to me.

you never know what your going to get with something new, but I am very happy with my new cover It is easy to install & easy to use just as they say.I waited a month to write this review to make sure after I used it awhile I still like it .....well I do
