Looking for a tonneau that can be open without dropping the tailgate. Which ones have that capability?

 

My Peragon does. Been pretty happy with it.

 

My DiamondBack SE can be opened without opening the tailgate first. I believe all of the DiamondBack covers unlock externally..

 

My Retrax Pro can be opened without opening the tailgate first as well.

 

Love my Roll-n-Lock. Can open & lock/unlock regardless of tailgate. Not to mention it has the optional quick-rails for cargo capability.... (roof rack, cargo basket, skis, bikes, canoes, etc)

My Undercover has to be open/raised to open the tailgate. If I need something in the truck bed, I raise the tonneau cover and reach in, but most of the time I lower the tailgate to get the item due to the height of the truck if the item is somewhat heavy or bulky.

 

Any chance you have a picture of your truck with Diamondback SE? I have going back and forth and keep coming to the Diamondback.

 

Not the SE but here’s a picture of mine with the 270. I’ve only had it on for a week but I’m happy with it. We’ve had some rain and I didn’t see any leaks.
