First let me start off by saying parental advisory on this review. So I just installed my new Gator cover and it was pretty easy. Not as easy as the town hussy but close. I’m about as handy as Captain Hook but I managed to install it properly. The cover looks great. It’s pretty flush to the bed and secures well. I give it 5 stars based on the price $199, the ease to install and the look. No it’s not the best cover on the makert but for $199 it is. I wouldn’t suggest trying to bang some tramp on the cover it’s not that sturdy but if you want to lock your side chick in the bed to hide her from the wife it does the job.

So I've had this cover now for a couple months and I have to say I am really impressed with it. I've had to remove it twice, which by the way is the reason I bought it because its a truck and i need access to my whole bed from time to time, and this cover allows for that quite easily. It is a good quality cover, better than I expected at this price point and it really looks good on the truck. When I'm driving and the wind blows across it, it does not make any noise either. I am pretty particular about what I put on my truck and I would certainly buy this again. I will say one thing that I've done to potentially increase the life of this is, the plastic knobs that tighten in down at the front, I went onto Amazon and found some star shaped clamping nuts that have metal threads on them because they are easier to tighten and I think they will last longer. As often as I take it off, I can see the plastic ones not being able to last long. Other than that, I am very happy and pleased with this purchase.

Great looking tonneau cover. Clips seem to be strong enough to last and are very adjustable for proper tension. When it's folded up you have more than half of the truck bed to load larger items that are too tall with the cover closed. It Is very secure while driving down the road or highway. The only reason I give it 4 starts is because at the front of the truck bed there was a 1/4 inch gap where water and air could enter. Luckily I had the seal I didn't use from my last truck that filled the gap. It does come with another seal but it shows that it is used for the tailgate end which I decided not to try at this time.

Very disappointed I discarded the box before trying out the cover or I would return the it. Cover shows day light at the folding areas on the sides and water leaks here, Cover also shows small amount of day light at tailgate and water leaks here, cover is flapping/bouncing while driving at speeds 30mph or faster and is very noisy due to this and also causes leakage to be worse. Overall poorly designed cover, save your money and invest in something that is hard and made more exact for this model truck. Installed on 2018 Ford F150 XLT 5.5' bed with tailgate step.

I should have gotten one of these long ago. It's very useful. We got it so that we could go on vacation and put all the luggage in the back, and keep it from getting wet. It does that well. It also will keep casual thieves away, though someone could cut it open pretty quickly. This thing goes on easy. It's a breeze. And, if I'm hauling lumber, I just fold it up, snap the straps together, and load up. I've had it a few months in the Florida rain and sun, and it's held up well, and I expect it to continue to hold up well. I am very well pleased with this very well made truck bed cover.

Pro -- It looks good, low profile. (As long as it stays attached)

Cons - Brackets are the worst excuse for brackets I have ever seen. They will fall off when traveling so only way to keep this top on is maybe drill into the bed. I requested shims and followed the directions and after addition of the shims it did not help at all. Pictures attached is from a trip where my family used my truck and all the brackets fell the "blank" off. The rails are flemzy and the don't help the stability of the top. Parts were missing when shipped and had to have seller ship the missing parts (plastic caps and nuts to hold the front down. I really want this top to work but I wasted $200 on this top and recommend no one buy from this manufacturer.

Have had this for several months now and it is a great product. Washes good with a simple soft carwash brush and some mild soap like Dawn.

Keeps the bed nice and dry so far. I did test it when I washed my truck and bed did not have water in it. One thing about the kit, there is a piece of seal that come in the kit to go around the tailgate. If you have a plastic side rails, I would use that seal at the front of the bed then pick up more for the tailgate at the parts store or order more on amazon.
