Soft covers keep the bed dry for the most part. I went with a hard locking cover because I have a compressor and air tank in my bed and I needed something more secure. My soft cover on my Ford let a little bit of water in so I had to buy a cap.

Just installed the Truxedo Lo Pro QT; time will tell for sure but it was a very easy installation, appears to be top quality materials, fits very tight and looks good. Also comes with a lifetime warranty to the original buyer. I was looking for one that would work with my Putco Boss bedrails and this one fits very well. If anyone else has tried this tonneau please chime in with your comments - pro or con and tell me your experiences.
Thanks! |

i have had the Extang full tilt cover for almost two years and had never had water in the bed. the only issue is when it rains and then freezes i sometimes have a problem getting the tailgate to open but that only takes a little tug and its open. the seal from the cover will freeze to the top of the tailgate.

The only real complaint I have with my SportMasters cover is that in the cold weather it can be a real bear, if not impossible to close back up if you open it due to the shrinkage of the vynil itself. Makes closing it after Christmas tree shopping hard

I have the snapless Mopar cover and love it. Bed stays dry always. It is not made of vinyl so winter time is no problem, cover never stretches or shrinks. Made like a convertable auto top. If you install it yourself get it lined up correctly and you will never have a problem. Mine was on the truck when I purchased the truck new and it still looks new.
In times of sorrow and in times of joy remind thyself, this too shall pass.       |

I've had the xtang full tilt snapless for 5 years; always dry, bowes have a high and low setting for summer and winter. can roll it up or take off in one piece. Not as secure or trick looking as a hard cover, but the advantages outweigh that for me.

I have the LeBra snapless and love it. Bought second-third hand. Never gets wet, I keep my fire turnout gear in the bed all the time. I put some of that foam weatherliner under the rails before I mounted it so it wouldn't mark up the bed and it's still waterproof. I put lights with disconnects on the rails so that I can see at night and still be fully functional. (Can post pics if interested). I love mine.
