New Tonnopro bed cover
I just got a new Tonnopro bed cover and thought I would share my opinion on it. Its actually pretty nice for a 280.00 dollar tri-folding cover compared to the 800$ bakflip g2. I would have preferred the g2 but I know I will never spend that kind of money for a bed cover.
It is surprisingly water tight and comes on and off in less than 5 minutes, the very back flap doesn't flip up against the back window like the g2 but with the quick removal time it's not really that big of a deal.
The frame is made of metal and secures the flaps to the bed with a sturdy feel, its also pretty low profile which I like and for money I would say I would give it an A+
for the ppl living in the DFW texas area, I showed a copy of jegs.com 279.00 online price to a salesman from DFW Camper and they price matched it and had it in stock.

Agreed! I put one on a couple of weeks ago and was impressed. I figured for the money compared to others like Access and Truxedo the vinyl material would seem cheap, but it's not. Very thick, taught and sturdy. Very pleased so far! Picked mine up off Amazon (Trick Truck Toys) for $280. Ordered on a Sunday, had it the following Thursday. Free shipping!

I have the same one made by Ex-Tang.
Mine has little L shaped handles that turn to keep the lid down. If you lock your gate, it will stop curious people.. however if someone is determined, its not that hard to get into..

On my 2007 GMC Seirra Crew I just traded in, I had an Advantage Torza Top. It worked pretty good. There's a problem with a trifold on a short crew.. If your at Homedepot and buy something large and forget to leave the tri fold at home, you have to try and store it.
For example, I went to Lowes and bought a Vanity, Granite top and a few other things. I didnt take my cover off because I was "Just looking" Got out to the parking lot and had to take off the Torza to get it to fit. The 5.5 ft bed is so short that the cover wont fit in the bed with the tailgate closed unless its diagonal or propped on the tailgate. I didnt want my $400 tonneau blowing out on to the interstate so I drove home, took off my cover and went back... If your far from home your kinda screwed. Im not sure if the dimensions of the F150 crew will allow it to fit.
I put an Access Lorado on my new F150...Problem solved. Although it probably wouldnt matter since I have a 6.5 ft bed on it.

It was really close but no. When I put it in the back seat it would hit the arm rests on the back doors. Force it and the aluminum frame would bend.
