just wondering if anyone has experience wit the extang rt bed cover ? and if so, what is the pricing on these things ?

a local place has them for 368.00. seems kinda high to me but the ship tells me that they are quality units......

 

i have one and love it,easy to roll up when you need to haul something big.i got it from ebay,$150-$175 i think i paid for it.

 

I have one and paid about that. I'm not happy with it right now. It is showing wear at the end on each side. I went to take it back, and the place was closed for a week, and i have not had time to go back again. It's been on for only 4-5 months, other than that it's great. I would consider the other roll up type with velcro myself.

I have the RT cover and have been very happy with it so far, but it's only been on for about 4 weeks. I bought it from Auto Anything and was extremely happy with their customer service. I think I paid $315ish...Extang says you can roll it up with 1 hand, but it's better with two. Easy to roll up and roll back down, have done that twice already when putting things in the back that are bulky. I can't seem to get it adjusted tight enough though as it's pretty loose right now and it's winter out. I have the adjustment screws up front screwed all the way in. Anyone else have this problem?

 

i was just looking at that cover myself, i found it on truckaddons.com for $297.00. looks like it would be a great cover

 

thanks for the info. i beleive im going to give it a try. i'll report back after christmas

 

I got my RT from truck-addons too and love it. It is just really convenient. I wanted a hard cover but I have rolled the thing back what seems a million times since I got it to put big stuff in the bed. It is also nice that if you lock the tailgate you cant open the cover up (unless you have a semi-sharp pocket knife, but thats another story). I say for the money it can't be beat.

 

Got mine here May 05, only draw back was local truck preformance center had them on sale for 239.00 ( +6% sales tax ). Never thought to check locally.

I think they are great, they roll up out of the way for those unexpected Home Depot purchases. Best is they are basically flat accross, ( low profile ), and truck looks great with them. I never cared for the "bowed" up look of the soft covers and hard covers are not an option for me...

 

Hey Cycleman6 I have had the extang rt for about 8 months now. It has been a great cover, but I have the same problem you were talkin about with it being kind of loose. I have tightened the tension screws as far as they go and have even put some washers between to tighten it up some more, but without success. I must say I don't regret buying this cover, but if I had to do it again I would go with the access brand cover!

 

Well I install my RT yesterday, install was eazy cover looks good, think it is a little loose, if I had no other covers before I would say it is the greatest, but honestly it doesn't compare to the access cover I had on my last truck, maybe i wil get use to the RT but I would spend the extra next time and get the access feel the look and fit is better just my 2cents
