Suggestions for tonneau cover.

amati5 · 01-29-2004, 12:55 PM

Which one should I get. I read about the RollnLock but it seems to be complicated with the beb liner already in. Aso expensive and take the whoe feet at the front of the bed when retracted.

The next one seems to be good is the Access. Reasonable price and easy to install, diy.

Is there anything else I should look at?

Thanks

check out www.4are.com

The LSII is available with or without the Utili-trac, and comes with power locks so when you unlock the truck, the cover unlocks also.

Remember, 'roll and lock' won't work with utilitrack system. I talked to them yesterday.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I left out one important detail, the cover is just for occasional use only so it has to be soft, something that I just can roll up and put tall stuff on the bed. There are many products offer this set up and it's tough to choose without seeing how they feel and look.

I am at a small dilema on this issue.

Personally, I wish someone out there would come up with a cover over a rail system that would slide into the rails of the package and "be Secure" when you lock the tailgate.

In other words -- Visualize an lightwight aluminum frame with 2 removable cross bars that drop in for sag support that would sit 'flush' with the top of the bed. On the out or underside of that same frame have mounting points for the soft cover to be folded over the edge and recessed a snapped or twist in place type holders. Then, underneath this aluminum rail, add a sliding rail that would slide into our current existing rails. Shut the tailgate and lock it.

This would allow you to slide the cover out with the aluminum frame...undo as much area as necesary for small/tall loads of the soft cover. Removed the 2 cross rails if need be as well. Slide rail back in and go.

Hard to put into words. But is there a company out there that could do this that is reading here?

The cover that looks most promising for me is the Versacover. I want it to be easily removable by one person, which I don't think will be the case with fiberglass. Their website is www.versacover.com . I emailed them and they stated they are in the process of design, but probably will not be available until 2nd part of 2004. It will be compatible with the utilitrack.

I don't know if I can wait that long. Would like it for long camping trips etc. Maybe if more people contacted them, they would step up production. Anyone elso have any alternatives?

I agree with joeandmaria. The versacover is the best, lightweight, lockable option I've found. But it'll take six months before it's available with the utilitrack.

I e-mailed them and they offered me the $49 shipping charge for that cover if I mention the e-mail reply they sent me. If you are at all interested in this cover I suggest you do the same. The cover is supposed to be the same price as all the others also. I got the impression that the cover for the truck without the tracks would come out first and then one for trucks with the tracks. You can e-mail them through their web site. Al in Benson, AZ

Yes. I see on their website they have the $49 shipping if shipped to a business address. Did they give you any specific time frame?

First of all, thank you for considering VersaCover! We don't currently have a cover for the brand NEW NISSAN TITAN series of trucks yet. Some trucks have the Utili-Track System and some do not, so it will be somewhat of a challenge to design hardware to work with both.
However, we plan on developing one as we anticipate having a cover for that truck within the next 3 ? 6 months (hopefully much sooner)

I have saved yours and other inquiries and put them aside to notify you as soon as a cover for your truck becomes available. Based on what we know now, we expect the price of the cover to be the same as the other covers. If the $49.00 promotional shipping offer is no longer available on the web when we release this cover, just phone us up and we will honor the same shipping offer to you.

Hopefully this information is helpful to you.. Again, thank you for your interest in VersaCover!

Sincerely,

Mark

Just visited the versacover website, and their product seems like a winner, especially because it can be easily and quickly removed by one person when you want to haul something bulky like a refrigerator. For a short bed truck the cover weighs less than 50lb.

Has anyone seen a soft tonneau cover for the Titan yet? Some of us will need the soft cover because of out 5th wheel hitchs. Not sure if it was mentioned but, a tonneau cover will result in better gas mileage, unless you take off the tailgate or leave it down, which is illegal here.

I don't receive my Titan until later this week so I'm speculating, but couldn't I cut two sheets of plywood so that they slide into the utilitracks? Ideally I would use one sheet of plywood but I think the bed is wider than 4 feet. I could paint the top any color or design I wanted. I would make a few relief cuts in the plywood so that it would fold in a rear-end collision rather than getting shoved into the passenger compartment.

Thanx for the info. Just emailed them and mentioned that i told about their products here on our site. Maybe we could get a group buy together once they have a production model ready for the non-Utili-track system and Utili-track system Titans.
