I want to install a bed cover on my SuperCrew. I had a solid ARE on my old F150, great for the golf clubs....pain when you actually want to use it as a truck. It did help the mileage and that is the main reason I am considering one on now. For the road trips!!!

I need something I can remove and install on a moments notice.

Thanks

 

Check out the Pace Edwards roll top. http://www.pace-edwards.com

 

I just got one, it's called Advance Cover.

Cost: +/- 500 (including shipping)

Installed: three hours (did it myself)

remove: two minutes

If you want to see it check out Advancecover.com or look at this here, closed and open.

 

Thanks for the recommendations. I check out the Pace Edwards web site.

Dutchy, Good looking truck!!!

The cover looks like two solid panels. Is that right? Does the front come off as well? Comes off in a couple of minuates,...... how are they attached? Do they only come in standard sizes or can they be ordered to your own specs.

Thanks for the input.

 

Dutchy,

Have you had any rain with this cover? I'm curious how dry the bed stays. According to their website, they don't guarantee that the bed will stay dry.

The cover is a two part panel system, it has a lock in each of the 4 corners and it is attached with 2 bolts in the middle where it folds over. You have the option of having the front or back open, and the two parts are "locked" together when they are open. It is not waterproof, but water resistant, it rained really hard while I was in IL and the bed stayed dry. It can't be waterproof mainly due to the tailgate, if you put a extra seal on the tailgate. As far as I can tell the cover itself is good enough to keep the rain out from above. I just liked the fact that one person can take it off in a couple of minutes and that I have the option to carry large items without having to take the whole cover off, but just open one half instead.
The size is specific to the truck, these are made for each truck model. Just contact them as ask if you need a specific different model. I don't think you could change it yourself.

Dutchy,
Great looking truck. First Arizona Beige I have seen.
The Advance cover is exactly what I have been looking for. Thought I was going to order an Access roll-up but placed my order for the Advance today after I saw your post.

I see from the Advance web site that you have to drill about 9 holes. Any tips for installation? Do you think my bed liner will pose any problems?
