I am new to Tonneau Covers. Looking for Advice!

[mr_M0J0rzn]

A frugal man giving me advice I will definitely take advantage of, thank you.

Go to a Truxedo retailer website or call them and inquire about a discount?

go to carid.com, realtruck.com or tonneaucovered.com and click the "live chat." once they start asking you, tell them the exact tonneau you want and ask if they can do better than the website price. Let them know you are shopping around other websites. I was provided emailed quotes that I used to get a better price. tonneaucovered.com discounted the cover and charged me no tax and no shipping.

Many of us have received our discount from Alex at realtruck.com - here is his email address - you can do the entire order through email with him (he'll send a secure link for payment):

Just mention you were given his contact info from the forum, provide the cover you're looking for and ask what the current discount would be for it - no need to mention me specifically (my services are free, hahaha).

After looking at many different covers and looking at youtube videos, and looking for what was in stock and considering the price. I ended up buying the extang solid fold 2.0 from realtruck.com. Its easy to install and remove. There is no rails or anything to install. I looked in to it, the current one fixes the short comings in older version. I know someone who has the older version on Ridgeline for about 2 years now and is holding up great, still looks brand new. It's light enough for me to pick up and install or take off. I am happy with the purchase and the cover. Its too early to tell but seems like covering the bed improves mpg.

What can they improve on:
Length wise, I wish it was about 1" longer, it does fit edge to edge, but only overlapping little. Wish I can put is flush to the back window, so snow/ice doesn't build up. It can be also a little wider so it comes closer to the edge, it would look better, again less snow/ice on the edge.

It shipped in a box that looked like designed for a bigger cover, when I opened the box, the cover was not seating in the corners. The box came beat up during shipping, but there was no damage to the cover. I guess it's adequate, but just wish it was packaged better.

Send email to Alex for better price.

I forgot something, with this cover in closed position the bed gate can be opened/closed. The cover has 2 position, closed or open 2/3 of the way (clips in). Can not keep it in place and open all the way, like some other hard covers, you would just take it off at that point. No tools required to put on or off. The rubber seal is very nice quality. I don't plan to stand on it or put any weight on top to know how sturdy it is, but feels sturdy when I pick it up, there is no flex.

Just got Extang Trifecta 2.0 soft folding tonneau cover. PERFECT. Fits great, folds back twice, can drive with it folded back twice. Easy to open and easy to remove if you want. A great fit for the Maverick

Hard folding will last the longest and most secure and very versatile

Edit: 1 piece solid probably more durable and secure still but very impractical for most

I had really good luck with Tonneau Factory Outlet. I bought a BAK MX4 for $889.00, no taxes, no delivery charges. Customer Service was great!

I own a Ford installed hard rollup cover. It looks great on the truck but leaks. You can go under the cover and see sun light. I was able to add additional moulding and it seems to have stopped most of the leaking. Ford should correct this problem. I shouldn’t of had to do this to a $1200.00 cover.

I think I have decided to go with the TruXedo Sentry CT. I plan to keep the truck a long time and having a hard bed cover seems thing a more secure way to go. The price I got from Alex at RealTruck is pretty good and there is a rebate going now for an additional $100 back from TruXedo.

Tonneau cover absolute must for my needs. I went with the BAKflip MX4. Easy to install and virtually water proof. They also have a roll up which I would have equally enjoyed. I previously had a BAKflip for my Colorado and was happy with it so I wasn't sure about the roll up. Got mine at Tonneau Factory Outlet. Under $900 ... ask for Jeff.

I have the Ford REV roll up.... I like it, no complaints. True, it's not waterproof, but this is a cover over the bed of the truck... I'm not expecting it to be. What I do expect is a cover easy to unroll/ open and secure. This does both. I installed mine and had no problems. Very solid when in place. I have no concerns having tools in the bed if I stop somewhere.

Maverick’s top competitive conquest is the Honda Civic.

Great choice! I absolutely love mine. I didn't know if I'd like the velcro overlap vs the tracked rubber seal, but I have zero regrets. The velcro flat is extremely firm, and overlaps by a good inch on both sides - I actually think it probably does a better job than the rubber/tracked seal on the Bak hard roll-up (at least, in the long term). Anyway, other than that, the fabric looks awesome, great matte finish, and surprisingly stays extremely clean! My truck has been a dirty mess this MN winter, but the cover still looks like it just came out of the box.
