Side by Side Comparison of: Truxedo vs Dee Zee vs Auto Ventshade

The cover was easy and quick to install. The instructions were a little confusing especially when it came to the long weather strip. I also saw people on YouTube installing the cover a little different, mostly regarding which clamps to tighten first, how to properly align, etc.

Looks great on my 2016 Ram 1500 SLT. Doesn't flap around at high speeds. The best part is I've noticed no leakage, and I've checked multiple mornings after any sort of rain. Only leakage I noticed was after going through a car wash, which I'm assuming was due to the high powered fans. If I had to leave something in the bed of the pickup overnight with the cover on, I wouldn't worry about it getting wet.

Overall a great cover at an even better price and I couldn't be happier.

Excellent quality, heavy frame, and vinyl covering. Quick installation on my 2014 Ram, 6' box. Quick delivery a plus also.
Good all around product, and service, both qualities missing so many places today. Shopping a positive experience...

I wanted a hard cover but I have a low profile toolbox that I wanted to be able to get into fairly easily. This cover was the answer. I love that with it closed you don't even know the toolbox is in the bed. Rolled up I can open the toolbox nearly all the way.
When I got the item it was missing the clamps but they shipped them out pretty quickly after letting them know.
Overall I'm pleased with the cover, it works well, and looks good.
I have this on a 2013 Ram 2500 crewcab.

Wow, easy to install and looks amazing. I have wanted one of these for years for my trucks and I am so glad I got this one. It looks great and keeps all moisture out of the bed. Fits my 2014 Ram 2500 mega cab perfectly. The only issue I have is that there is a gap at the head of the bad where the cover meets the top of the bed. Probably smaller than 1/4". I bought some foam and put it under there to keep that sealed. Other than that every other part of the bed is sealed completely. When you lock it down it is secure and keeps unwanted people from looking in the bed of your truck. I keep my fifth wheel back there and did not want anyone walking off with it! Obviously the sides are velcro'd shut so anyone could get into the bed that way but it would take a little work. Out of sight out of mind! Would recommend this cover for anyone looking to be able to cover their bed or uncover it easily and look professional.

If you are looking for a soft, roll-up tonneau cover, this is the one you should purchase. I had this equivalent on my previous truck and loved it. That was a couple years ago, and they have changed up the design a little bit for the better. Install was a breeze and only took about 30 minutes with a single 1/2" wrench (2014 Ram 1500, 6'4" bed). I like this over-the-bedrail version better than the low profile versions because I don't want to lose the 3+ inches on the inside of the bedrail. The new auto-tensioning system means this cover is really tight! We shall see over time how well it adjusts to cold/hot extremes, but looking at the construction of it, I'm not worried. The vinyl is of a good quality and the clamps hold the rails tight to the top of the bed. Because I have over-the-rail caps on the sides of the bedrails, there was an extra bit of weatherstripping required on the bulkhead, but this was supplied in the box, which was nice.

There are only 2 things that I could possibly complain about - neither of which is exclusive to this cover;

1) This covers the stake pockets. For me, that is not an issue - I don't have any plans to use the stake pockets. I wish there was a good soft roll up cover out there that was over the rail, but could also leave the stake pockets open, but I have not found it yet. To me, it is well worth it to give up the stake pockets to gain the extra inch+ in height when closed and extra 3+ inches across the bed when rolled up.

2) The shiny vinyl - this is a personal preference, so It isn't really that big of a deal. Back in the day, I had a mopar roll up cover that was vinyl covered with a nice waterproof canvas. this left a nice flat fabric finish that did not distract in sunny weather, and really set the truck apart (at least, I liked it). There really aren't many covers out there that utilize this set up, and definitely not in this price range, so I can live with a shiny cover to save a few hundred bucks.

Cover appears to be good quality and feels sturdy. Like others have mentioned this could be about a little longer but it does cover both ends. Very easy and fast to roll up for full bed use. I would buy this again even though it is a touch short and would be nice if it had manual tension. Can't expect perfection at this price. Trucks with factory plastic bed rail covers will need extra weather stripping along the front of box to raise it to the same level, topper tape works great.

Got this for my new 2015 Ram 2500. Fits pretty good, I do wish it was a inch of so longer... Had it out in the rain a few times and so far no water in the box. I did have to use the included foam gap filler for the front of the box. And the rubber seal at the back just catches the tail gate (hence wanting it a little longer). Also please note the description on amazon is not correct. This cover has the self adjusting tension on the latches. Here is the link to the product on TruXedo site: http://www.truxedo.com/truxport/land.php
For the price and how easy it is to install, so far I'm happy... Now only time will tell how long it will last, and its first winter will soon be here, the truck sits outside and we get snow... That will be the real test.

Had this for more than a year and we still love it! Handy to use and really keeps the contents dry. I was having a problem with the latches popping open while driving. I carefully bent the latch hooks a little more and it has been fine since. I still make sure the latches are fully seated before closing the tailgate. This is on a 2012 Ram 1500 Quad Cab.

This is a decent cover, went on easy and looks good but buyers beware, Amazon's ad for this product is incorrect. While the ad depicts manual adjustment for the tension on this cover, the latch tension is preset from the factory. This means you are at the mercy of the expanding fabric and the person who set it up at the factory. All in all not a bad cover for the price, but had I realized that I couldn’t manually adjust the tension I would of spent more money on another cover that has the ability to be adjusted.

I just put this on my 2014 ram 1500 crew (6.4' bed) and I was a little skeptical when I read online the ease for installation but it really was EZ to install.

The weather strip it came with was the perfect length and the clamps have teeth that fit perfectly with the rails. I thought the clamps would be tilting when installed but they won't move when installed right. So it will look great when you have it rolled up too.

Of course I just put it on, so only time will tell on the durability. It looks like a fantastic value though and anybody that buys it will be pleased with the finished results.

It did not take long to install, about 30 minutes and is engineered to install well. The clamps are quite good.
As others have said, this cover does not have easily adjustable tension. The Amazon description is wrong.

And it works, but I believe an inch longer would be better. 1/2" in front and 1/2 in back. Mostly because of the design of
the tailgate. That costs it 1 star.

I wrote to TruXedo about this cover not having the manual tensioning device. Their advice was for me to buy a different product if I wanted that. But their description says it has the device so how would I know what to order?

For that response I am reducing the stars. Very disingenuous on the part of TruXedo.

Too wide for box. If you have chrome tie down bars on the sides of your box, you won't be able to use this cover.

Show up without clamps. Talked to Amazon directed me to the seller. Seller said not there problem. Pretty pissed about it. It said it comes with clamps and it didn't. And everyone blamed the other party.

JUNK!!! Lasted just over a year and went completely downhill. Replaced with another brand. This cover sucks
