That's a nice cover. So you just leave it in the unlocked position and can slide it open or closed as you wish? Do you know if it needs to be locked down to drive with it all the way closed? If not i could just leave it unlocked until i have something of value under there.

Thanks

Great so it looks like I have multiple options. I really appreciate all you guys' help.

Fold A Cover, I've had four different covers and this is the best I've had.

Looking like the retrax has less than stellar review on amazon. Of the 23 retrax models for different trucks they have on amazon, only 7 got more than 2 out of 5 stars . Your nephew hasn't had any problems with it?

I have the Truck cover USA tonneau. Opens with a key with tailgate up or a keyless option to retract cover if you let the tailgate down. No issues and nearly waterproof.

I have a RetraxOne cover that I purchased used. I've been thoroughly happy with mine. It has a latch with a pop-up release so it can be secured anywhere along the bed rail. A key is used to keep the pop-up from opening. This is totally independent from the tailgate lock. I've also done the tailgate electric lock modification so the gate locks with the doors.

The only potential complaint is that I do have some very small leakage areas, just enough to get the spray in bed liner wet, but not enough to puddle. I'm sure I could add some weather stripping to eliminate the leaks, but it hasn't bothered me enough to go through the hassle.

Go with the Peragon. You will NEVER be disappointed. It is opened from the front of the bed on the drivers side. No need to open tailgate to operate it. I've had two. One on my previous truck and did the black powdercoat and then just recently put one on my new truck and did the paint to match option they have now.

The President of Peragon, Heath, is a frequent viewer of this forum and will answer any and all questions you have. Their support and service is second to none and its an extremely durable and well made cover.

PM peragon here on the forum. That is Heath and he will respond pretty quickly. Almost no other company out there does that.

No he hasn't had a single problem and he put it on his 2011 F150 5.6 bed when he bought the truck new, so it's been on for 3 years and still looks like new.
You don't have to lock it just close the latch and it stays where you put it.

I didn't know about the negative reviews on Amazon but I personally don't trust any reviews, good or bad, on Amazon but that's just me. Maybe my nephew just got lucky and got a good one. His was installed by the retrax dealer where he bought it. Don't know if the quality of the install makes a difference in the customers satisfaction or not. Based on his experience with his I still want one.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm leaning towards the peragon at this point. Can't decide if I want the black one or the tan one to match the rails. I'm thinking the tan would just be too much visually

Just a quick bump to see if there are any other options out there in addition to the peragon and fold a cover g4.

Thanks
