Tonneau cover installed

Deepwater · 02-22-2004, 07:05 PM

I've had my new Truxedo low profile Tonneau installed since Thursday Feb. 19th. It looks awesome! It is nearly flush with the top of the bed rails. It rolls and unrolls very easily. We've had a lot of rain followed by heavy wet snow with high winds in the last few days. It has stayed very dry...not one drop in the bed. I am very impressed so far. It allows me full use of my sliding bed extender. I will take pictures and post as soon as the weather permits. Just wanted to let those who had questions about this type of cover know how it was working out.

Please do! I have been trying to order one and every place tells me they do not have the right clamps for it yet...2 weeks is what I keep hearing.

Ti-tan...
The factory Initally sent out the new clamps.And thats what was installed on my truck. My installer called me and said that the company was going to thicker metal clamps, based on when you tork them down on the Uitili-track they wont flex as much. (I've had no problems at all so far) He said about two weeks for retooling and I'll have them put in . Mine works fine, no leaks and all is tight! I drive alot of freeway to. But I will change the clamps when they come in. I think this cover is very sharp looking on the Titans.

Hey Deepwater, do you have a estimate of pre- and post-tonneau cover gas mileage? Any noticable difference? Any noticable difference in noise?

Thanks!
Justin

how much of an effect does your tonneau cover have on your milage (mpg)?

Coolhand.. And Others....LE CC 4X4 OFF/ TOW
I have only put about 150 miles on after it's been on. But I did notice that on my Nav. the mpg. went up to almost 17mpg. on the highway! I never noticed it that High before! And so far over all it seems a little better, going by my Nav. I will no more after a few more miles. I will let you all know.

JSO2... You can find it at www.truxedo.com, from there you can find a dealer near you. It cost me $419.00 installed.
