Just installed Extang Revolution on my Crew Cab and very pleased with it plus one of the buckles that hold the cover when rolled was a little unstiched and Extang sent me a new top out. Seems to be really dry and low pro I will try and get some pics.

I am looking at these 2 covers as well... Is the Truxedo worth the extra $100 or so? What are the real benefits? Love to see some pics of each of these installed...

I had a Truxedo Lo Pro on my 04 F150. 39k miles, cross country trips, harsh NE winters, a major home remodel, and ZERO problems with it. It was still tight and looking good when I traded in the truck.

I'm ordering a Truxedo for my new Bighorn this week. If I had to make a small complaint it would be the instructions were not well written.

Now before you order one look at the following clamp pictures

These are the clamps that came with my previous Truxedo, they work as designed but check out the next picture.



I stumbled across this picture price shopping the other day, notice the cam clamps in the lower left of the photo instead of the bolt clamps, those look badass. I don't know if these are old clamps or new ones, I'm going to call the company Monday and find out but I would prefer the cam clamps over the bolt clamps above.

I've had the Truxedo Lo Pro for about two years now (moved from first truck to this one) Its held up well and I like it alot. Mine came with the cam clamps shown above. I did have a plastic part break on me, the company sent me a new part with no problems.

I have the Truxedo Lo-Pro and love it. I would do it again on any other truck I buy. Worth the extra cost. IMHO.

Truxedo all the way! I had one on my 05 titan...swapped it to my 08 titan and loved it so much i bought one for my 09 ram. Had the same cover on my titans forsoft tonneaus 5 upstate ny winters and the thing was perfect when i traded it in. Customer service is fantastic! I broke one of the hooks that keep it rolled and they sent me a new one no questions asked. When I swapped them, they sent me a new roll of their heavy duty velcro tape and another roll of the foam tape that rode on top of the bed rail for free...3 years after i bought it! The qt cover is even easier to use than the original low pro. Truxedo is one of the best, if not the best soft tonneaus! You definitely get what you pay for!
