tonneau cover and bedliner

[Mr.Seaguar]

So I bought a new pickup. I have never had either a cover or a bedliner. What benefits am I going to see from the cover? What liners should I look into? Anything I can't do myself will be a challenge with my location. Are any of the d-i-y liners any good? Thanks

I have a cover on my 99 sierra and love it. Its a soft roll up kind. I roll it up to put the fish house or snowmobile back there but other than that it stays down and keeps the bed of the truck snow free and dry for the most part. As for bedliner I just have some wood in there. haha I guess that's something you could do yourself!

I have had two of these and really like them. The first was a snap style. my current one is a zip lock style

Access Roll Up cover. Install yourself, too. Only way to go I think.

Don't go with the cheaper ones you will be replacing it and not happy. My work put on a cheap one and had to replace it in less then a year. Access are good and radcos are good

I bought an Access cover for my 2006 Silverado and it's still holding up great, I would recommend. I recently purchased a 2014 GMC and came across a guy in the parking lot of Rad co as I was looking at options, he showed me his Roll-X from Bak Industries, this has the look of the soft roll up but is extruded aluminum sections underneath that allows you to roll up without hogging the whole back window. I only have had it on for 6 months but very happy with it. I purchased it online as Rad co didn't sell them.

Love my Access Lorado, and still looks like new 4 years later.

Access cover I've had them since '98 on my last 5 new trucks, its worth the few dollars more over the cheap ones. I wouldn't waste my time with the DIY bedliner kits especially on a new truck, if it doesn't stick you end up with a real mess. Any of the brand name spray in liners are good, just find a good installer. Generally I just use a thick bed mat, my new truck came with a GM bedrug its fine if you don't haul anything greasy but I can see that being an issue for me.

Just purchased a new Silverado and had them install the Access brand. I believe the 2 top brands as far as qulaity are the Access and Truxedo.

I also had them do a Line X spray liner in the box. I have seen some of the DIY jobs and the owners were not real happy with the results. The DIY is less as far as money but more than likely in quality also.

The Line X also has a lifetime warranty along with the Access cover also.

On my last pick up, I installed a cover I purchased, a cheaper one and it lasted about that long also and then started to have issues with it.

I bit the bullet and got what I thought was the best and had them installed.

I have the access, works great. I've had the Bed Rug in a truck with topper, I've had the spray in ones, I had the brutal plastic ones, and since I have a cover on mine the last two pick ups I just bought a thick rubber mat from FF and it fills up nearly the whole back and keeps things from sliding around. I could care less if the bed get's scratched on the sides or wherever since I have a cover on it, except when my kennels are in it I never have the cover rolled up. Think they cost about $60.

The thing is about 1/2 inch thick or more and super heavy, it doesn't move and I'd bet more comfy on the dogs feet than anything except the Bed Rug but you need a topper for the bed rug, I'm anti topper now, hard to fit the atv in with a topper.

Had a topper on my last truck, had to find another person to help lift the thing off every time I had to haul something tall. New truck, put a roll up cover on. Just need to roll it up for the tall stuff. Also, truck doesn't look like a "grandpa truck" as my wife always said my last one looked.

I have an 03 silverado with access cover also dealer installed spray in liner. Both those make the truck more user friendly for sure. Box is dry and nothing slides around.
