Truxedo Lo Pro tonneau cover and Elevate TS Rail review

installed this a month ago, pretty straightforward install.

I wanted a soft roll up cover and rail system for bike rack, cargo box and windsurf boards.
I used the Yakima Skyline HD bar system on the Elevate T slot rails.
the rack and tonneau covers fit together and mount up on the same 3 bolts per side

Overall very happy with the purchase.
The tonneau does leak a tiny bit but overall seals pretty well. The velcro sides seal well and the latch system works well. The T slot system works really well in combination with the Yakima.

I would give the Tuxedo cover a 4 out of 5 stars with subtractions for: (1) the provided weather seal is too narrow for the cover near the tailgate so i had to buy wider weather seal (2) ideally the cover would be about an inch longer to provide a tad more coverage on the tailgate (3) you have to close the tailgate first, then the cover

The Elevated Rails I'd give a 4/5. Sturdy, work well with the Yakima T slot skyline towers. Would have been nice if they extended a tad towards the tail gait to make the seal with the cover a bit better

Yakima HD skyline 5/5. Very easy to set up. Even easier to remove. Takes 2 minutes to remove both bars. Very clever system with tons of weight bearing capacity

also a shout out to Amber from Realtruck who helped me out with the purchase and gave me an awesome deal.

 

Are you able to post some pics to show how Yakima is connected? I have a different model Truxedo and have been looking to a similar setup

 

The Yakima Skyline towers have a quick release base the sits on the appropriate yakima landing pads.
the cover articulates two sliders that engage the landing pads when the covers are locked
so removal is as simple as opening both covers and lifting the bar off.

I lifted this pics off Facebook to show you

the Elevate TS rails worked perfectly with the LoPro cover as the two rails and bolts all lined up together. Amber, at REALTRUCK, said that the rails would not necessarily work with other Truxedo covers. If interested, you should shoot her a DM. They have tacomaworld member pricing as well

 

Thanks
