This is a great cover! Got it for $110 as "used" but it came brand new in the original packaging. Installed in 20 minutes on my f150 and I did is alone. Getting the frame to be mounted perfectly square took me the longest.
I have had a couple covers like this in the past (one with buttons and one with a grooved rail piece that a plastic edge on the cover slipped in) and this is by far the best one I've used. The tightening system lets you get the cover nice and tight in most weather conditions. It's easy to tighten it because of the Velcro and the locking system on the tailgate end of the bed.
I had a hard cover on my last truck that was $1000+ but it leaked when it rained. So it was useless as a way to keep the bed dry. This cover for $110 far out performs that hard cover by far.
Also I have noticed in the few days I've driven it that there is an increase in MPG. Not sure if it's 10% but it's at least 1-1.5 MPG better than without it.
If you are looking for a great quality cover that is easy to use and keeps your bed dry I would highly recommend this cover. I was not paid for my review. This is my honest opinion about this cover. Hope this helps.
**UPDATE 1-3-2018**
Ran the truck through an automatic car wash with the cover on it. I forgot I had left a few thousand dollars of video lighting equipment in the back of the truck. The cover kept all the water out, even with the high pressure water and blow dryer. Never could have done that with my old hard cover. So if you need a great cover to keep your bed dry look no futher.
**In the event I have issues with the cover I will update my review**
I bought this for a long road trip because it was the best price I found and had good reviews. It was very easy to put on and looks great. It's good that it comes with some weather stripping for the front because I had a large gap due to the plastic side rail tops on my truck. On a 9 hour drive it rained the entire drive and all of our luggage in the bed stayed dry. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase!
Just put this on my 2018 F150 Stx (6.7 bed)today and it looks great man. Too early to tell the true quality of it just yet. However, for the price it is seriously worth it. No need to spend more $ than what this one costs. Tight fitting and snug. Fits great. Super easy to install, took 45 min.
My only con I would say is where the bar piece of the cover/or spans across the front of the bed by the cab. It doesn’t have anything in the middle to “hold” it down. By no means is it loose or a true concern as of now, but it could use something to secure it in the middle. We will see how it goes when I’m on the highway and see if the wind affects it. If there are any issues I’ll post em.
If your looking for a tonneau cover this is a steal.
***update*** the weather strip that comes with it needs to be used.. it says it is for certain instances and if I recall correctly not mentioned in the directions.. I had water come in and there is a noticeable gap between the cover base piece and bed. Simple fix. Just wish it said to use the weather strip. It should be the very first thing you do for the installation process.
Awsome bed cover, i was alittle skeptical when i purchases this but once i received it and installed it, i think its pretty awsome, perfect fit to my truck and locks very nice!!! Once your tail gate is closed and locked it can not be opened... really sets my truck apart... the material is very sturdy... seals very nice, can also be remover very easy if you need to haul somthing big. Sure beats paying 1000 dollars for those other tops.!!!!
I wavered for a year whether to purchase a rolling cover, soft cover or slim cross toolbox for my new shortbed (5-1/2’) F150. After reading numerous reviews, elected to try the Tyger. Installed it several months ago and have been more than pleased. I didn’t expect it to be “water tight”, but have no leaks at all despite heavy Texas rains. Very simple for wife to use! I installed in about 45 minutes - had to readjust a few times for proper fit at tailgate. Be sure to install front of bed weather strip first! Rolls up to within inches of cab when not needed. Very pleased.
I could find no Ford F150 reviews for the Tyger TOPRO Roll Lock Pickup Tonneau Cover. However, this cover has received very good reviews for other makes of pickups. Because of that, the reasonable price and the free shipping I decided to give it a chance and I'm so glad I did!
Pros:
First of all, the Tyger is much more heavy-duty than I expected. Secondly, it has a limited lifetime warranty on the aluminum rails, components and hardware as well as a 10 year warranty on the vinyl. Third, it only took me about 20 minutes to install the Tyger and adjust it to my liking.
When the cover is down it locks into place and seems quite secure. So far I haven't had any problems with the cover coming loose even while driving on the freeway. One last thing, there is an adjustment that can be made to compensate for the vinyl stretching over time and or when in the hot sun.
Cons:
I can't speak for any other make of vehicle, but for the Ford F150 (8 foot box) this cover could stand to be about an inch longer in order to more completely cover the front rail of the box and still come into contact with the top of the tailgate. Also, since I haven't driven in the rain I can't speak for how water tight this cover is. There is about a 1/8 inch gap between the cover and the top of the front rail of the box. Also, the seal strip that comes into contact with the top of the tailgate isn't very snug. I may invest in another front seal strip from Tyger or maybe just some weather stripping to seal up the gap in the front.
In summary, I am quite pleased with this product and I highly recommend it for the Ford F150.
