How much does one have to spend on a decent tonneau? Been watching CL for quite awhile but all I see is for Chevy and Dodge mainly.

If I had a newer rig or wanted one earlier in life, spending 800 or more would make sense. And I don't have to have one, just want one now.

 

Don't have but I know some guys have the Tonno Pro roll-up cover and never heard any complaints.

 

Looks pretty decent. Anyone opt for that one over this one a sponsor here has on sale and offer me via PM:

I have the tonneau pro tri fold and absolutely love it. My uncle has it and my grandpa liked ours so much that he bought one too.

 

Think I'm switching gears and going w a truxedo lo pro qt from a local shop. For the extra 100 or so appears to be much higher quality.

 

I bought a Truxedo Edge and had nothing but trouble with it! The rails were bent, the instructions with it were for a different model. SPECIAL screws and nuts were missing, seals on both the original bent rails and the replacement rails were installed on the wrong side of the rail, etc etc. Truxedo won't answer my calls after my first call so I finally had to cancel the purchase through Amazon. As far as I can tell, Truxedo drop ships everything from China and doesn't have a real office in the US and has ZERO quality control anywhere. I couldn't even download their online instruction manual and print it since it's actually printed on a piece of 11 1/2" x 16" paper that is folded in half and the PDF is set up for the same size paper. The ONE time when I did get them on the phone and tried to explain why that doesn't work (since most people don't have 11 1/2" x 16" printers!), you could tell that they didn't have a CLUE of what I was talking about. I finally had to use a PDF editor to split the pages in the file and print them separately since Truxedo doesn't even carry printed (ONE sheet of folded paper) manuals.

PS I just looked at my old E-mail and found that I had a total of five different parts that were missing from the shipment. Some of those were quantities of two or more. And that's not including items that were bent or built incorrectly!

I took about two years of looking on CL but I finally found a good quality hard top tonneau that fit my 2010 but it still cost $400 and 80 mile round trip to go get it.

BTW old email shows that I paid $317 for the Truxedo Edge from Amazon on 3/17/92.

 

You must have been ahead of your time back then!

 

LOL! I guess you're right. Does 2012 make you happier?

 

Hmmm, I just ordered the Truxedo Lo Pro QT. The ad states that its made in the USA, & all parts have a lifetime warranty. we`ll see................

 

That was funny...I had to reread it a few times at first lol

 

It didn't come in today so my instant gratification is gone. 425 plus tax installed for the QT or go online and spend 250-300 for a different one? Too many choices...

 

Just incase you are still looking.

Forgot to post an update; QT should be on my doorstep from autoanything this week.

Thanks!

 

Put it on tonight:

 

Nice! Looks good!
