    I'm sending my oedro soft tri fold tonneau back to Amazon while I still can and upgrading to a hard tri-fold tonneau. The Oedro was fine, i have just realized since purchase that i'd prefer a hard tri-fold. Was hoping to find a used OEM or other but no luck so far on c-list, ebay local or here. After some research I found a few 1-2 year old posts on a couple of these but for those of you who have a hard tri-fold tonneau from Rough Country or Gator,

    Here are the two that i've found that are all of: reasonable, good reviews, and dont require removing and lowering the factory bed rails.

    Hey! I'm thinking about the Gator EFX Hard Fold too. Did you ever decide on a cover? Any advice? Just joined the truck fam in July and have no experience with tonneau covers. Thanks!

    Bump! I would love opinions on how to choose a hard tri-fold cover.

    I have the Gator EFX. One of the holes on the cover rail system didn't match up with the trucks rails so I did have to make some extra holes and other than that it was easy to put on. I will tell you that it doesn't keep the bed 100% dry during heavy rains. However it works to help things stay safely locked in the back which is what I wanted it for. For the look and the price, I really can't complain.

    The Diamondback covers look SWEET. A bit heavy if I have to take it off, but I wouldn't do that more than a couple times a year. Anyone have an issues with them?

    Check out the Lomax tri fold cover. It is the most popular cover for many applications. It looks and functions great. We have awesome pricing on it too! Contact me for more info and pricing if interested.

    We offer other brands too if interested in something else.

    I just installed my Lomax today - very pleased with it. Easy installation and the price is great, too.
