After shopping around trying to get the best band for the buck hard tri fold, I came across the Lund. At the time the only store that showed it was NAPA, and I contacted Alex from Real Truck who got me a competitive price, and warned me that my wait was 2-3 weeks.
Cover came in probably about 2 weeks business days. Happy with Real Truck and their ordering/discount and delivery time frame.
The cover is not some hidden value, you are getting exactly what you pay for. Water resistance will be OK but not as good as the more expensive units.
I did have some damage on some of the weather seals during shipping, so I will get to see how Lund support is. Better packaging would probably of prevented the damage.
Pros:
1. Easy install, easy to remove. Once you know how, you can pop it off in 5 minutes or less if you need the full bed.
2. Price is the cheapest hard tri fold available.
3. Looks good, I was recommended to use 303 to protect it, which I do on all the plastics anyway, so easy peasy.
4. Lifetime warranty on the hardware, 10 year warranty on the vinyl that covers the plastic.
Cons:
1. Bed security. This ain't it for safe guarding anything expensive. the rear can be lifted up because of the spring clamp style rear latches.
2. Packaging on shipping. As seen in the photos, left a little to be desired on protecting it during shipping.
3. Water proofing is much less than what I expect with a more expensive system.
Overall, 7 out of 10. It does what I want it to, but If I had a bit bigger budget I would go for a more expensive one that gives me a bit more security. May sell this one with the truck when my hybrid arrives.
