After reading reviews and opinions here and on autoanything.com, I have narrowed my choices down to three. Now I need a little help deciding. My main concerns are being as water-tight as possible, low profile, ease of installation and roll-up, most snug fit and the best tensioning system. My choices are:

Extang RT
Access Lorado
TruXedo Lo Pro QT

Which one would give me most everything I want for the lowest price.

 

I have the TruXedo Lo Pro and it is an excellent cover. I do not have any experience with the others but I would definitely recommend the TruXedo. Easy to install, nice fit, and fairly weatherproof for a cover of this nature. It will not keep out everything, but a hrad spray from a car wash would not pass through it on a regular basis.

 

I've had my Access cover since 2001 and it's great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

 

Have had Access and truxedo. Access was MUCH better. Truxedo is ok but if price is similar - Access hands down.

 

No doubt about it... i love my truxedo low pro. It works and looks good.

I'm not a fan of soft bed covers but my boy down the road has the Access Lorado on his 2006 FX4 and not only is he wrapped with his selection but, I must say, it does look the part. He says it succeedes all his expectations.

It'd be my pick for soft tonnue covers if I rolled that way.

Good luck.

 

I guess I have to be the 's advocate. I just installed the Extang RT last week. It takes 20 minutes to install at the most at looks and works great. Sounds like you can't go wrong with your choices. I also got a local shop to match the price from autoanything.com so that was a bonus. Good Luck.

 

Extang RT. 2

 

I have the TruXedo Lo Pro and it's held up great for two years now! I had hard cover, but change the usage all the time.. this one is easy to take off/on. and holds up to most weather challenges!!

 

I got the Truxedo, and it does leak a little water around the corners, and runs straight down the side of the bed corners. Nothing back there ever gets wet though, but in my experience it isnt a 100% seal like a hard tonneau. Idk if this is common in all soft tonneaus but just my experience. I do love it though, very tough cover and easy to use.

 

A couple of you guys said Access hands down. What exactly is it that makes you feel that way over the others listed here? Looking for specifics. As I'm in the decision process and each seems to look pretty good online, but don't have any one that I know who's got these to check them out.

 

I vote for the Extang RT. I had one and it was a great cover, I never had anything get wet with mine. What I liked about it is it's low profile design, the bars being made into the cover so I never had to worry about what to do with them when I would roll it up and the lifetime warranty with it.

 

Fit, durability, strength...

Boht the Truxedo and Access are good. Access hardware is beefier, the material seems thicker (my 70 pound son could walk on top of it) and it was a perfect fit (no lufting at all on the hwy). Not the case with the Truxedo.

 

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.
