Question Truxedo Lo Pro QT

Hopefully my new 2010 TRX4 with rambox will be here soon. I will be putting a tonneau on it and am seriously considering the Truxedo Lo Pro QT. Anybody have any experience and/or pics of this cover?

I really like mine. Very easy to install and easy to roll up and put back on.
I don't have a Rambox though so I don't know how that would work.
The only small downfall to the cover is to make it low profile the rails mount to the inside box and not on top of the box rails so you loose a little bit of width of the inside of the box. Not a big deal for me with a standard box but the Rambox looks like the storage compartments already eat up a little of the inside width.

Dan makes a good point about loosing some of the width. I don't have the rambox either so the rails are not a problem for me. I love this cover it was on my 08 QC and I moved it to my current truck.

I have the rambox and the truxedo low pro qt on my 09 Ram. I think I posted some pics sometime ago with it installed. You don't really loose that much space, unless you think 1.5 to 2" is taking up too much room. I really like mine, and it wasn't hard to install either.

I am debating between the Truxedo and the Access Rollup cover. Leaning more towards the truxedo, but they do not give those things away.

Everywhere I read on here it says the Truxedo is more expensive than the Access cover, but around here the Truxedo is running about $100 cheaper than the Access. Everything I have seen is pretty well split down the middle as far as durability etc. The truxedo is much cheaper but I was originally leaning towards the Access Lorado.....decisions decisions!

Hey thmupr does yours sit flush with your tailgate? In the one pic, looks like it sticks up about an inch or so. Mine sits flush all the way around the bed of my truck. Maybe its just the angle of the pic..

*scratches head* mine sits a tiny bit above it because of the weather seal...little rubber flap that sits on top of the tailgate. It's almost flush, but not quite. Still looks really nice and clean, and I love the cover, but I was told by the dealer it's SUPPOSED to sit a bit above for that weather seal. Can you post some pics of the tailgate end of yours maybe? The front part of mine sits up a bit above it too...

I agree, It's not near an inch, but it's not flush. About 1/2" or so, all the way around the truck. The instructions actually tell you to close the tailgate after closing the cover, but the cover stays tighter and more water tight if you close the tailgate after the cover. I called and asked about that, they told me it was worded that way so people that have a hard time locking the cover can more easily make sure it is locked. I have to whack mine on each rear corner pretty good to make sure the little catches lock in place.
