We purchased this several weeks ago for our 2007 Dodge Ram 1500, and I wanted to wait for some weather before posting a review. It was easy to install - I say as I was taking pictures watching my husband do all the work! I quizzed him all during the process and he was amazed at how quickly it installed. He did go back and make some adjustments that took a little time, but the included directions made it easy to do. It was packaged well and arrived without damage. It even came with a very sturdy bag to store it in if you ever decide to remove it for some reason.
Since it's been installed, my husband has loaded 400# of sand bags into the bed of the truck and right away we had several inches of rain. We've also had several inches of snow this week - and the sandbags are still nice and dry. He was actually concerned about where the tailgate meets the cover, that it might allow moisture in, but it has stayed nice and dry. It also comes with straps that hold down the folded-up cover, if you need to travel with the cover open.
While I can't say how this will be over the course of time, we have been very impressed with the quality thus far. It seems very sturdy and well made- and it makes the truck look sharp too :)
Really impressed with how it fits on my Dodge Ram. I live in Seattle where we get tons of different weather, and of course a ton of rain. My bed stays dry. The best part about this product is telling people what I paid for it. Everyone is shocked and asks where I bought it. I love promoting good companies with great products, and this by far as been one of my best purchases for my truck so far. Shipped really fast!
Bought this for my 2018 Ram 1500 crew cab 5’7” bed. Very well packed and high quality for such a low price point. Installation took a little longer than most of the other reviews because I had to trim down my plastic bed rails. Instructions stated that the clamps should tighten down on the metal bed rails and my plastic rails covered the metal. Just a quick measure and trim and it tightened down great! Had it on the highway and heard no flapping at all. I used the enclosed weather stripping at the front of the bed near the cab. That made it a great seal and I saw no daylight in the bed after installation. Highly recommended!
Update***
Just got 12” of spring snow on the cover and it held up great with no sagging!
Ok...first, I have had inexpensive Tonneau covers before. For what this cost? Blew my expectations out of the water.
This was for a 2017 RAM 1500 Sport with 5'7" bed. I put my 4k camping generator under it and would fold back the cover to run it. When gone during day I would close the cover and lock the tailgate so no one would be tempted to just carry it off. VERY well made and finished. Easy to install (4 screws). Comes with foam tape for gaps but you can find it at Home Depot and Lowes if you need more. The trim on the front of the bed and the bed lid was lower than the sides and the included seal tape would fill those gaps. Also comes with urethane pads to stick where the screws contact the rail.
Does this lay flat and seal like a door on top of the bed? No....but it doesn't cost $1200 either like the other ones.
Does this stop a determined thief from your bed? No...but no matter what you use, if they want in they'll get in.
Does this rattle or vibrate when driving? Mine doesn't and I know it's not as tight as it could be. 80mph and not even a wiggle from it.
WELL worth the $205 I paid for it (had a coupon active when I got it). WELL worth it at $400.....Would buy again without question.
Shipping Box: Arrived on time and the box had a few dents which is expected with such a long flat box.
Inside Box: Materials arrived in a carrying pouch that can be used when taken off. Instructions along with weather strip also inside.
Install: Took about 15 minutes due to readjusting 3x (what can i say im a perfectionist). Light weight (30lbs or so).
Aesthetic: Looks great and has a lower profile than i thought which is a plus.
Satisfaction: Looks as good as other tri-folds I have seen for 1/3 of the price. Very satisfied thus far.
Car wash: Held up in automatic car wash with ease.
Amazon claimed that this would not fit my new truck. It's a 2017 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab Short Box (5'7"). However, after doing some actual measuring, and studying the product dimensions, I took a chance. It fits perfectly.
It took about 5 minutes to install. Easy to understand directions. Looks really nice on a white truck. Very pleased with the quality.
I ordered this for my 2012 Ram 2500 Laramie Crew cab short bed. I've had it installed for a few weeks now to include one cross-country trip.
Shipping was print, and the top came fully assembled save a few minor adjustments. Due to the width of my truck-bed I had to adjust the mount spacing, which was completed by moving 2 screws. My son and I had this installed in less then 15 minutes. Since it is a universal top, most of our time was spent deciding on the position I liked best that provided the proper overlap of edges, and fit at the corners. It was really as simple as setting the top on the truck and pushing it into place. Once I was happy with the position, I placed the provided foam tape, and secured the mounts to the rails. It fits great, and looks good. On our trip, I had the bed loaded with luggage, strollers, food, and all other ranges of family travel supplies. We hit rain, wind, and a fair share of dusty roads, and when we arrived at the destination, all of the stuff under the bed-cover was clean and dry.
Since then, I've also hauled lumber, tools, trash, etc . and only have one minor complaint. Since the top folds in 3 and doesn't roll up like other tops, it will always cover the front 3rd of the bed unless you completely remove it, which means leaving it wherever you are. Other tops that roll up would leave much more usable bed, but would also be harder to open and close.
All in all, I'm happy with the design, though in retrospect, I might have considered a roll top instead of this fold-style.
Perfect fit and easy to fit
I was impressed with the product, although their customer service was terrible. I sent them all the details from the order and they wanted more. Even sent me an email telling me to buy the additional weatherstripping from Canadian Tire (even though they has also said they would send it ou with no problem)
I had read other reviews regarding missing parts, but decided to go ahead with the purchase. Never again!!
Buyer beware, if you receive all the pieces, you will get a decent cover.
Even their video on You Tube shows installation of the extra weatherstripping!
Install was very easy, comes in a nice storage case, quick to remove, quick to re-install and folds even faster.
Pretty much water proof. Only the smallest amount of water gets around the seals.
It isn't the most secure because over time I can feel the connection points bending so I need to slightly tighten ever few months but I feel like any product would have this issue.
I've had a few friends with products that are 10x the cost of these one comment on it saying they like it better than theirs. They are shocked when I tell them how much it costs.
If you have a ram 1500 this is a good purchase. Don't buy something more expensive. This works amazing!
Received my tonneau today, a day before it was supposed to arrive, and 4 days faster than the original Amazon order said it should be here. Chose free shipping option, and it took one week to arrive to the middle of nowhere Saskatchewan. Got the package home, and unboxed it. Everything was nicely packaged in a nice Tyger Auto burlap-like sack. Installation took about 20 minutes. I went for a drive on the highway (windy day to boot), and got home, and made a few minor adjustments. Looks great! I’m sure the wrinkles where the cover folds will straighten out on a warmer day. So far, very happy, but it’s only day one.
I received the tonneau cover in about a week, It took me about 20 min. to install it. It appears to a good quality product. I have had it on my truck for about a week so far with no problems. The 6.5 Fit my 2013 Ram 1500 ST Quad cab perfectly.
The tonneau cover has been on my truck all winter, and I must say I am impressed, It has survived a very harsh Canadian winter this year, I have also taken it through the auto car wash several times with no issues. This is a very good product for the price.
Arrived at my house at 12:30 and I had it installed in 15 minutes. I own a 2017 Ram Outdoorsman quad cab and the cover fit like a glove. Solid construction and excellent quality. Cheapest I could buy one from a dealer here in NL was $600. This one was half that. Shipping time was great considering it was shipped by ground from Vancouver to NL. Only for the weather in Atlantic Canada it would have arrived last week. Thanks dealer for an awesome deal.
This cover was better than I expected. I've installed in on a 2017 RAM 1500. The reviews here convinced me to take a chance and I'm glad I did. It was hard to get my head around paying $1000 for one of the better models.
Having to close the locks on either side of the cover gets irritating in a hurry however. I'm thinking about modifying mine so that there's a pull cord that operates a spring loaded latch on either side instead. On the subject of the locking mechanisms. There plastic and kind of clumsy to work with. You should stow them away before folding your cover up to the cab otherwise the threaded rod the mechanisms is mounted to may puncture your top. This cover sealed well on my truck bed and I didn't have to use the extra foam gasket supplied. Sometimes depending on the level of the spot I park on a little water will get in but for the most part it's been great. I definitely recommend this cover as a low budget solution to the outrageously expensive other models.
Amazon said it wouldnt fit - all the specs fit. So for weeks, I hummed and hawed - watched some youtube videos and this exceeded expectations. Ordered on Sunday, arrived Tuesday. Well packaged, protection on all the key joints.
Put it on my truck, within 15 minutes I had installed and looking great. Fits great, lots of compliments for friends and co-workers.
Could not be happier with my purchase.
So far so good. It fits well, seems well made. The vinyl is a decent thickness so hopefully it will stand up to a Canadian winter! The frame seems fairly well made, but it would be nice if the clips were all metal, I worry about the plastic becoming brittle and cracking. It seals as well as should be expected. Oh, the included light sucks, just toss it aside...
A month after we purchased a 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab, we purchased this item. He was so excited to install it. It has survived the harsh winter months to date so value for money? Fine. It was somewhat easy to install. Durability... I will update in a few months. We'll see!
So far it's great. It was delivered to my door with in 24 hours from ordering. Took no more then 20 mins to install. It says it fits up to 2016 but I have a late year model 2017 crew cab 5.7 bed and it fit fantastically. Great product, amazing price.
Amazing deal!!!!! I mean less then 1/2 the price of your dealer and a warranty..... wow!
Now that I own one I’ve also seen the quality! It’s great quality! This will definitely last a while !
This purchase was a no brainer! Super deal!
Excellent product, highly recommended. I had it for 2 months now and no issue so far.
The only downside of it is that there is no clamps halfway, so you cannot open the last section to put like a long piece of wood sticking out of the door, have to find a way to attach it down to do that.
Bought this for our 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup truck. It came later than expected but was well worth the wait! The instructions were very simple and it took about 20 minutes to put on by myself. Have used it for 3 weeks now. It has been covered in snow, ice, rain, and gone through windy conditions, and is holding on nicely. It feels durable and is a steal for the price
