Tonneau cover - Lomax or RollNLock

Mossyoakglock · November 27, 2022

I need to get a tonneau cover pretty soon and have it narrowed down between the Lomax and the Roll N Lock.

I had a Retrax on my previous truck but the canister took up quite a bit of room. I'm considering the Roll N Lock because it has the smallest canister on the market. I like the Lomax because it gives full bed access and I can remove the cover completely in a matter of seconds if needed.

Looking for feedback on both of these covers if anybody here has either one of them.

Personally, really like the Lomax. 2 years on and looks and operates new. Super simple to remove and put back on as needed. Would buy again.

I never understood appeal of the rollers. Seems more likely to break and takes up unrecoverable space.

What is the water-tightness like? Do you get much water in the bed when it rains?

agree. Having owned rollers on 2 trucks since 2016, While I've not had any reliability issues, next time I'll go with a cover to get the bed space back.

Same here.

While I liked the Retrax the canister was sometimes a pain. It was nice I could close it in multiple spots and I could lock it so it was very secure. Even though the RollNLock has preset locking locations, it seems a little more versatile in that aspect.

While I couldn't stack anything at the front of the bed I got used to it. That's where I'm stuck on deciding and was hoping people here had both and could chime in on the good and bad of each.
