Hey guys, I'm looking to get a cover with my tax return. Can you help me find what I want?

I dont want a roll-up. I'm thinking the buttoned ones that have the vinyl top and support braces. I've been eyeing the Extang but I dont know much different brands, so if you have one, please share

Also, should I go with Extang, do you think it would be cool to get the cover in matching white or just stick with black?

 

i bet white vinyl would be a pain to keep clean

 

imo. dont get buttons. they are garbage, will rust over time and you will regret it. i have the truedo roll up. instead of button, its velcro. i love it. had the cover over 2 yrs and still holdin up. thats my opinion

 

im not keen on the differences on tonneaus. by roll-up, does that mean there is something at the end of the bed that retracts it or something? i just want a fabric cover to cover my bed. nothing fancy.

 

No, the TruXedo covers use Velcro strips on included rails that run along each side of your bed. Takes about 5 seconds to roll/unroll by your self and another 15 seconds to completely remove the rolled up cover from your truck.

I have the TruXedo Lo Pro QT and it works very well. There is a rubber flap that sits over the edge of my tailgate to seal out water.

I'll take some pics later to show it.

 

Well the roll up that I know of is the type you roll up yourself. I believe there is an electric type that when you push a button, it will electrically roll up. Now if you do get the button up cover, it will not last long at all. I mean if your looking for quality, I would go with a Velcro type fastner. I have seen so many people with button up covers and they just go to waste. If your gonna spend the money, you mine as well spend it once on a good cover rather then buy a cheap cover that will last 1 year and still Gotta buy another cover. That's my opinion.

 

So, velcro is it. Does anyone other than TruXedo make them? I'm trying to comparitively shop. I'm getting $300 from my tax returns, so whatever you guys have will help. Thanks

try autoanything.com. You can look at and compare several types there. I have the Truxedo brand and I am happy with it. Got it off Craigslist for $150

 

I agree that the button ones are a waste. I live by the ocean so mine may have rusted quicker than most but it definitely wasn't worth it for the short time it lasted.

I think the black would be a much better choice than the white. Doesn't show dirt as much. I've never seen a white cover at all but on a white truck it seems like it would look kinda weird.

 

IMHO most if not all are junk- either the fit is bad, hinge assemblies are very prone to failure or, well the list goes on. i ended up building my own for about $800.

 

$800 is od. i spent $300 and i have had not 1 problem yet.
i mean if i had a alot of $$ too spend on a cover, i still dont think i would get a hard top cover due to the limited access it provides. just sayin in general. i love my soft tonneau cover. thats my opinion.

but im curious beechkid, did you build yours out of fiberglass?? how you make it?

 

snug top FTW
