I think this one could handle it. It seems pretty tough and does have the cross over bars on it that roll up with the cover. They rest in grooves on the inside of the rail when you roll it down.

It seems to be a pretty tough cover and the material is pretty heavy.

The only other experience I have with soft covers is a friend's and his would always sag during rain storms and get a big puddle in it. I've already washed the truck with this cover and it stays tight like a trampoline and the only water I noticed in the bed was around the tailgate. Going to be ordering a tailgate seal kit probably if I can't find something local to do it with.

 

Perfect pics Intel - that is exactly what I was looking for!

 

Mine does well with a "snow-load". I usually don't let it stay there for too long, especially if it's the heavy wet type. The reason I got the Truxedo over other brands was that it has springs built into the tensioners, so it's always tight no matter what the temp.

 

I had a soft cover on my Ranger and it would puddle also.. Had three ribs and a pain to resnap in the winter. But this one sounds more like what I want..

Thanks

Well, Not worried about snow load at home or when I'm traveling with the truck. I only use the truck in the winter..

Sometimes I have to leave the truck at the airport for weeks at a time and the snow can accumulate.. and then any rain makes it heavy... but if there are multiple reinforcement ribs that should help that.

The few times that I have that exposure it is probably not a big issue. After all I had the last one 10 years and it didn't rip.. or stretch out. Just had to repair the snaps a few times. I like the idea of the tensioners..

My old cover was easy to put on in the sun but if it was cold and rolled for a day or two it was a beeeach to stretch it back on...
