I’m with you. I’d rather have a roll up or trifold partially block the rear window than kill all of that useable bed space.
This configuration with that cooler doesn’t look like it would work with this cover.The front of the Maverick Flex Bed has indentations where you can put a 2x4 to keep stuff in its place and out of the way. Now I see Chris McD has the same solution as does daddio211.
Rear window is sooo small, I do t want to lose 33% visibility! Going with the Tonneau that fold into the bed.
Thinking about this right now. Maybe they can make the panels shorter so that when they fold they still rest over the wheel wells?Would their product even be workable with the Maverick since the raised section for the wheel wells continues all the way to the head of the bed? My understanding is their product usually tucks between the wheel well and the head of the bed?
very nice!Guys, I have a Peragon tonneau (color matched) on my 2017 GMC Sierra and I LOVE it! If Peragon is making a tonneau for the Maverick by the time I get mine there's no way I'd consider ANYTHING ELSE!
It's solid, works smoothly and reliably, is secure and keeps the weather out. Further, Peragon has the most incredible customer service I've ever experienced in the automotive aftermarket. Yeah, it's really that good!
My initial concern was the area under the tonneau when it's closed, and how do I keep stuff from keeping the tonneau from being in a situation where it can't open. No problem for me, though, my Little Giant ladder fills that void perfectly and keeps my tool totes and other items from occuping that space.
Seriously, Peragon needs to make these available. I'll bet I can sell another 100 of them!
***No, I don't sell their product. I get so many compliments on the way it looks when I'm driving and people freak out when they see it in operation, that I've probably referred 1000 or more people to their website. LOVE my Peragon!
The bed is short so the first 2 panels could be short for the initial drop. Also a spacer could be added to the 2x4 to push the 'cooler' back.
You went the extra mile for all of us, THANKS MUCH!!! So you were willing to take your horse to the water...but it was the water that didn't want the horse to drink it. (That is messed up
)
I think it would look clunky having it split in that manner and would add another 1-3”” of space taken up in the bed. I think at this point the retractable with a canister would be better suited for our trucks.
Hmmm... That seems like 6 in one hand and 1/2 dozen in the other. It looks nice but it seems to be a permanent installation so you permanently lose that space in that small bed. But if you are hauling something like dirt (I sure wouldn't) there are no issues. They are also pricey for being plastic!! But different people have different needs.
I’m with you. I’d rather have a roll up or trifold partially block the rear window than kill all of that useable bed space.
It appears to me that big ol roll up cover blocks at least 50% of rear window….I do t like that
I will buy the GatorTrax Tonneau cover.
It’s all about personal preference, but if that’s your primary concern I do think you’re better off with a retractable cover that rolls into a canister. This style as shown is going to make a lot of dead space.
