    Like some opinions on this tonneau cover. You guys happy with yours?

    Thinking of ordering one of these for my 18' DCSB. I seen mostly good reviews, i seen couple people complain that doesn't sit level towards the tailgate. Im not sure if it was more of them installing incorrectly or quality control.

    I like the price, reviews, low profile, easy to remove and allows full bed access and appears that I can still use some rockymount bike mounts with it.

    Thanks guys

    Best cover out there of this type in my opinion. I have had that model on my last 4 trucks. And the best warranty and customer service period.

    I considered that one but went with the new WeatherTech Alloy cover instead. Looks great, sleek and simply to install

    What made you choose that one over the Truxedo?

    I have the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Tonneau Cover, but given this is my first truck and cover, I'm not sure how valuable my opinion is. I am pretty happy with it, but it has some quirks. Rolling it up is relatively easy, but the hooks to secure the cover rolled up can be a bit of a pain. It also has a security flaw. Even with a pop lock, I can lift the rubber seal on the tailgate and use a hook to release the latch. I actually keep this hook (tool hanger kind of thing) in the truck fully expecting my pop lock to fail some day (but that's another story). It does hold up well, but there are some minor water leaks and the little rubber sections they have you cut up to seal it on install are a little weak. It does interfere a bit with the rails, but I'm not sure how anyone can avoid that. I have no problems with it sitting level. Overall I would give it a B+ or A-? However, maybe this helps. No regrets. Reading reviews and so many opinions is tough!

    I have news for you. It's not a security flaw . Even if you couldn't reach in there you can slice the cover to get in. A solid cover you can pry open. A screwdriver and hammer you can pop the lock. So in case you didn't know this, if they want in they are getting in. No cover will stop them. I wouldn't even consider any other soft cover but the Truxedo lo pro. Have had several and not one problem. And the hooks to lock it when rolled up has never been a struggle for me

    I had a Lo Pro QT on the 2016 I traded off. If I knew I was going to buy another Tacoma someday I would of took it off the truck. You can see it sat pretty level. All I used on mine was good car wash soap and rinsed it off. Still looked new after 2 years on my truck sitting outside. Wish I had another Lo Pro QT for sure.
