thoughts on the truxedo lo pro ?

just put on my lo pro on my LB not to sure if I'm happy with the fit tomarrow ill see if there is some tweaking that can be done. Any one have any tricks or other wise I should know about to help me . I mean it fits snug but I can see its not perfect but seems to get the best reviews for the 2016 Tacoma unless it was from the factory cover

 

Easy to put on and it looks nice will I get better gas mileage because of it has any one checked the mpg before and after installation ? Let me know thanks

 

Are you talking about the ripples in the back?

After you roll it out and latch it down, just pull from the sides as you push down on the velcro.

You can easily pull those little ripples out.

I have this cover on a SB.

My only knock on it, is that it does move around a bit at high way speeds, this is my first "soft" roll-up.....but I'm guessing they probably all do that.

 

Yeah tomarrow weather dependent I'm gonna mess around a little with it get a feel for it
I didn't see the wrinkles till I posted the pic what kind of cover do you own and have you seen any improvements on gas Milage since you put it on ?

 

I bought it and Love it.....I sealed the gate so the bed stays dry in the rain. Have to close the tailgate first then the tonneau to get a good seal.

I did not want to give up 1/3 of my bed with a trifold, nor do I want to remove it when I do use the whole bed. But I get the security is better.

Plus the tension is adjustable.

 

Wasn't sure what you meant by you weren't happy with the fit....That was the only thing I could see from your pictures.

I have the same cover on my short bed. The truxedo lo pro.

I got mine right after I bought the truck, so I'm not sure if my mileage improved.

I pretty much get 19 MPG 95% of the time with my 4x4 TRD OR DCSB.

That's with a mix of highway and local driving.

I live in rural PA. Lots of hills, not lots of traffic.

I honestly doubt that covers really help much with gas mileage.

 

Go trifold

 

You know I got a 4 cyl and I think I'm getting bad Milage gonna see this month when I fill her up this time I'm gonna record the gallons and figure it out

 

What made you decide on the 4cyl?

 

I got the 4 cyl because I thought they were using the same engine and transmission I had in my 13 which didn't bother me I really don't tow anything so that why . But the dealer was like it the same 4 cyl but it tranny is not new that they have been using it in the 4 runner so it not new to Toyota but new to the Tacoma . I'm a little disappointed with this 4cyl, and tranny set up maybe I'm was just really use to my 2013 well let me get some more miles o. It its only got like 800 miles on it and I swear I'm not getting great gas Milage I'm gonna check it out next time I fill it up .

 

Has anybody by any chance tried mounting a 2nd gen Lo Pro QT onto a 2016 yet?
