New Extang RT cover

I had one of these on my Ranger and loved it and my wife was awesome and got me one for the new F150 for Christmas. Looks good and I love the flush look it has. It was in the mid 50s the day after Christmas so I had a chance to clean up the truck at home and install the cover. Looks good with all the winter crud off.

Very, very nice! I like those as compared to Tonneau's since it appears you have ready access to the top rail cutouts (for tying down stuff).

I've also got an Extang RT cover, and LOVE it! It was easy to install, and rolls up out of the way very easily too. Even when it's cold outside!

Very nice! I stillcan't decide if I want to go coverless, but the RT was one fo the first I saw that I acutally liked. If I did go with a cover, it would be between the RT or Undercover. The other thing hindering my decision is that I kind of want a tool box, and usless I just get a chest style, I don't think the RT would work with a box that sits on the rails.

BTW, how much did you all pay on your RTs?

I got mine at autoanything.com for $341 delivered. They also threw in an Extang Tailgate Seal. I haven't installed the seal yet, it's too cold here!

They also offer a version of the RT that fits with a toolbox. That might work great for you!

My previous cover was an Extang Black Max. While it was a very good cover, the snap style didn't work well in cold weather. I'm really happy I got the RT this time!

I found one site that sells the RT for $312. The tailgate seal and Tonno cleaner are sold separately, and judging from the cost of them, adding both to the price of the tonno alone equates to about $340+. I did see that they offer one if you have a tool box, so that's even better. But hey, for just over $300, it's not a bad price at all. I may end up just going with this one instead.

Wow! That's a great deal! +

Here's where I found the Extang RT for $312. I'm bookmarking it for when I get ready to order. Hopefully, this is a legitimate website...seems like it is.

Also found a number on Ebay from a reputable seller for $3 less. Selling for $309.

After some research and a lot of reommendations from fellow members, I am going to be getting an Extang RT when money allows. It has such a sleek design to it compared to the other covers out there for the 2004+ trucks, and is priced pretty well.

How well does the RT seal out the elements? I don't live in a climate that receives heavy snow, but we get our share of rain. Summers are quite dusty here as well, and I know that a lot of dust finds its way into the bed...

While I've only had mine for two winter months now, it does appear to seal out moisture just fine. I can't say about dust yet.

Extang does recommend re-sealing the velcro before entering a car wash. I push down my velcro before washes, as well as other random times I think to do it.

I think you'll like the RT.

^Good to know.

I will never take my truck through an automated carwash, so that aspect will be a non-issue to me... though it is good to know. I have a few other things on my list ahead of the cover, but I will get one eventually.
