Ordered a Truxedo Lo Pro

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the tip on getting the Truxedo from TruckAlterations. I got mine for $350 shipped.

Can anyone give me an idea of how long it will take to get? How big of a box does it ship in?

Thanks again

Tom

It is a bed cover. A nice one that actually works. My buddy has one and we even had girls sitting on it once and no problems.

It looks like it would leak into the bed since it doesn't go over the side rails. Many tonneau covers are sturdy enough to sit or stand on.

Hey Tom,

You'll love it! I love mine. As for shipping time? It depends where you are? I'm in Va. and it came from NC in about 3 days. Sometimes they drop ship it. Also, I've had no leak issues at all and it installs in about 15 minutes!!!

oh so its like a soft tonnuea? or plastic? I have a snap on tonnuea on my F250, perfect tonnuea for the work truck, can unsnap a few buttons and have boards hang out and still have it snapped down securing.

I like that. Post some pics when you get it. A Bed Rug would be nice with that.

I got it last night and had it installed and adjusted in 50 min. I just don't see how the water would get into this bad boy. Maybe just a drip or two in some spots but not anything significan't.

I can't say that it changed the look of my truck very much though. The boxes on the new F150's are so tall and given that it is a low profile you hardly notice it.

As long as it is water tight it will serve it's function.

I drove my truck up north this week. I was getting somewhere between 18 and 18.5 mpg for the trip going 74mph on average and making 3 stops. I would say much better than I'd normally get.

I was thinking about a cover but they are so much. I prefer the hard ones like this Truxedo, but i agree with statgator's comment that it won't change appearance very much.
