First Post -- Bed Cover? - TundraTalk.net

joeytundra · 03-11-2008, 09:16 PM

Hey guys. Got my first truck. I am loving it. 2007 SR5 5.7 4x4.

I have been looking everywhere online at vinyl covers for my truck bed. I have also been checking out the threads. There is just too much information and too many different covers.

I am looking for a roll up that is under $400. I would prefer a hinged with a roll up, but I don't even know if they make those.

Could you guys give me some ideas on what I should get and should not get?

Any other thoughts on the rollups?

I will be using the bed for camping and luggage and such. I won't be storing anything of much importance in it.

Thanks. I hope to be on this site quite a bit and contributing myself.

I had good luck with a Truxedo Lo Profile on a previous truck.

I have tried them all! The best is Access by far! This is their web address Agricover.com: Truck Bed Covers and Caps - Pickup Tonneau Covers and here are some pics...

Truxedo LoPro QT.
Just installed it. Took longer to open the box then to install it. Looks good, very low design.
Had a LiteRider on a previous truck. Never had any problems with it. Just didn't look good with how high up it sat.

the original post read my mind. Man I am eactly in the same situation. There are tons of sites and tons of styles and materials.

has anybody bought one for like $ 200-300 ? just trying to save some $$. I dont want to buy a crap cover either. I just want something that will do the job.

thx for the feedback, I need it too

aehjr · 03-12-2008, 12:23 PM

I think I paid about $375 for the Truxedo. Agree on the install. Took minutes. Glad I did not let the dealer charge me an hour's labor for install.

Sweet. Thanks guys. Just got mine off Ebay for $270 and free shipping. Thank alot.

farnorcaltrd · 03-13-2008, 02:46 AM

Ditto on the Access by Agri cover ,,, well made good fit and looks nice also!!!!

Mickey · 03-15-2008, 02:33 PM

I use an Extang Black Max. I had extang on my last 3 trucks. Easy clean and rolls up easily.

Kingkrs · 03-16-2008, 11:02 PM

how do these roll ups do on keeping water out of the bed? I am in the market as well.

Laury289 · 03-17-2008, 12:49 AM

I have a Truxedo Lo Pro and am very happy with it. Installed it myself in under an hour and it keeps 99% of the water out.

NRA4Life · 03-18-2008, 03:26 PM

I just bought a Craftec soft cover for $199 + $29 shipping of their website. I wanted one that was cheap, that could be removed or installed easily, and low profile. This one fit what I needed. I put it together last night, but the instructions suck. The quality appears good.

Kingkrs · 03-18-2008, 03:47 PM

Well the consensus seems to be that they keep the water out pretty well. I am looking at a couple different ones though.

Truxedo Truxport
Extang Express
Access vanish

Anyone care to give me their opinion on which might be better and why?

07SLATE5.7CRWMAX · 03-19-2008, 01:05 AM

I have a BakFlip. Low profile, locking feature (with locking tailgate), and keeps 99% of the water out. Paid 685, no tax, no shipping charges. Good luck.

I am in the market for a cover also. Are there any previous threads we can use as a source?
