Favorite tonneau cover?

bamorris2 · September 4, 2020

If you go with the LoMAX, get ahold of Luke at Truck Alterations. I got mine from him for $675 shipped, which was significantly lower than anyone else I could find. This was in December 2019.

Truxedo Pro X15 is my choice. $490 after tax on ebay and sits flush!

I'm on my second truck with a Truxedo LoPro and I love it.

I am close to buying an RST, and will be in this boat shortly. On my Colorado I had an Access Lorado(6 ft bed), and It worked out for me when I bought it. Having said that- I realized that most tonneau covers in general have rails along the inside of bed, that keeps you from being able to use a bike rack across top of rails.

I know there are uber expensive ones that allow you to retract and have a bike rack within their rails, but 1500 doesn't excite me! Before I pull the trigger on another cover, I gotta research bike racks and covers a bit better.

I pulled the trigger on the Lomax. It will arrive Wednesday according to fedex tracking. I think for my needs and budget it was the best choice. Hopefully I’m not disappointed. I’ll update with pics and thoughts after I get it installed. Thanks for all the replies.

I just traded emails with Luke. He is still at $675 with free shipping. That is over $200 less than everyone else. Everything good when you dealt with Luke and truckalterations.com? Is that cover easy to remove if you need access to the entire bed? I assume it is but would like real world experience.

Yes I’ve gotten a few tonneau covers as some other truck items from him as well. All of my experiences have been great. I leaned about him through another (Ford) forum back when I had an F150.

I have the X15 Pro on mine and I love it. It sits flush and I really like the look of the fabric as opposed to the vinyl. It does leak a little at the corners but nothing serious enough for me to be too concerned with.

Assuming you're talking about the LoMax Access Tri-fold............it's easily removable for full bed access. That's a great price as I paid $883 with free shipping.

Thoughts on Gator EFX vs LOMAX? Realtruck.com has the Gator EFX for $649 vs working with the guy mentioned above at $675. Obviously the money diff doesn't matter. Just want a nice cover. Thanks guys.

So my Lomax cover arrived yesterday. It was a breeze to install. Overall I’m pleased with the fit and appearance. Of course my impatience cost me a couple hundred bucks. I ordered it before the post about the vendor selling them for 660$. Oh well. Can’t worry about that now.

I also ordered plugs for the holes in the rear bed rails from amazon. They are at home now and I’ll install when I get there this evening.

That's a nice clean bed cover. Like it a lot.

Actually looks like the Gator FX is the one comparable to the Lomax.

Thanks Greg, the simplicity is what attracted me to it. The seams are only about 1/4”. As far as install and removal goes, I think it will be quite easy to remove when needed.

I traded an ‘18 Tacoma for the trail boss and it had a factory Toyota tri-fold. It was heavier and had a bolt to remove. Not super hard but more to do. This one just folds up, secure the keepers, slightly lift and slide toward the rear. Nice and simple.
