Tonneau Cover Opinions

[Lane]

Hey, I just bought a new F150 and am interested in getting a roll-up tonneau cover. What brand should I buy? Truxedo, Access, Lund? I want a product that is going to last and not break the bank. Thanks for the input.

I went from a hard tonneau to a roll-up Truxedo (with velcro). It's worked great for me and haven't had any problems. That's over three years of use now. The color is starting to fade a little, but that's because it's always parked outside. No complaints otherwise and it still looks sharp.

I really liked the Access cover that I had on my last truck, and that's what I would buy again if I wasn't running a topper.

I like the truxedo low profile I have on my truck.

Access any day of the week.

I have used all 3 of the covers you mentioned. In my opinion the Access and the Truxedo are about equal to eachother in fit and overall quality. The Lund cover will basically do the job but won't fit nearly as nice. Mine was always leaking water right behind the cab and didn't seal worth a darn against the tailgate which let a lot of dust in. Just remember you get what you pay for.

Access.

The one I have on my GMC Sierra is nearly 10 years old now. Seriously could pass for new. You honestly couldn't pay me to put a different brand on my truck.

I have an Access that has been in use since 2005 through 2 different trucks. Looks like new. I believe they have a lifetime warranty.

Another vote for Access. Had one for quite a few years before putting a topper on my truck. They are a bit spendy but well built and easy to install and use.

Will try this again. I have an Access and it is a low profile that allows use of the stake pockets while it is covering the box. Most of the covers I looked at covered the stake pockets. You can gain some height by going with one that mounts to the top of the bed rails in case you need more room underneath for a fish house. The straps that hold the cover when rolled up also vary in design. I prefer the elastic straps with S hooks instead of the ones with the clip snaps. I also like the velcro side closer rather than the snaps.

Access. My buddy and I each have the Lorado on our 2010 F-150's, after looking at a lot of them, felt this was the best made and liked the features. Really love it.

Had an Access cover on my last truck (2500 Chevy, it was on the truck when I bought it). When I bought my current truck (Ford Superduty) the first thing I had put on it was an Access cover. I paid around $400 for it installed. They are great.

My dad has had a Access Lorado (or at least similar) for the last 7-8 years and it looks brand new.

I tried the Truxedo and went back to the Access cover. They just hold their color and handle the abuse better. My original one from 2000 is still on the neighbors truck and it looks just fine.

Access is the way to go I Run one on my new ram in the summer and run a topper in the fall/winter and have done this on the last 2 trucks with my last access cover working for 7.5 yrs before I got my new truck and the old cover wouldn't work on this truck. If you do go with the Truxedo only use there Lo-Pro it is there best cover but I still would suggest the Access Cover because it will be tighter because of there manual adjustment dial over Truxedo's spring tension adjuster.

Access makes multiply covers - Original, Lorado, Light Rider, Vanish, Limited Edition I would suggest there original or Lorado or the Light Rider if you are looking to save a buck but it is typically only $40 less and it use there older technology

The only soft roll up covers I have owned have been the Original Access cover.
