Some help needed in picking a Tonneau cover

PittTitan · 09-02-2005, 07:00 AM

I'm looking for a cover (probably a soft one) that can come off and on pretty quick but does a decent job keeping water out. I use the truck a lot for landscaping but my family would like to use the Titan for long trips so the luggage would go in the back. I haven't bought a tonneau cover before so any recommendations would really be appreciated. Oh yeah, I saw that there are some problems with these covers and the Utility bed channels which I have so this would be an issue as well.

Thanks

Rather than do the typical do a search response, here is a link to one discussion on this topic

Truxcedo Lowprofile

There are a number out there, but from my experience (I have a truxedo and I also had other not as nice ones) the truxedo will do what your looking for and it is by far the easiest to open and close.

My favorite is this one

But the one I have and works pretty good for me is the access cover.

Most guys on here will recommend the Truxedo Lo-Pro for it's amazing warranty (lifetime on everything including fabric), good looks, and extra seals increasing it's water-proofing. However it is quite pricey at $335 shipped! I have one sitting for me at my parents house but with gas prices as high as they are, the drive to get it would make it a $500 tonneau! lol

I had a Sportmaster cover on another truck I owned....I don't know if they make it for the Titan. I know they were less than 300 bones....

Sportmaster guys stood behind their product extremely well. I broke numerous buttons, and they always sent out the tool and extra buttons for replacement at zero cost to me. Great Company. I know they sell some stuff on eBay, but again, I don't know if they sell it for the Titan.

I like the Lo Pro TruXedo cover. Easy to install, and use.
Easy to get off as well. I take it out to use my accessories in the Utili trac channels sometimes. Very cool.

Tek-Style "profile" edition. Easy install. Mounts on top of the bed rail for a nice clean look. Water tight. About $300. I looked at them all before choosing the Tek-Style and no complaints so far.

I bought the Advance folding cover for the same reasons you are looking for. I wanted the ease of taking in on and off, but also security of locking and. It was easy to install, and it folds up in 4 sections, back to front or front to back, and can be taken off with just the turn of 2 thumb screws and folded and put in the bed, if you are off somewhere and decide you all of a sudden need to use the bed. Keeps the weather out and has served me well for over a year

I like the look of the advance cover. Where did you get it from and how much if you don't mind me asking?
