2022 Tonneau covers

Great question! So they actually updated the seals on the G2, both will have the same style of seal at the tailgate. Are you set on a folding cover? While they do a good job, if water resistance is your primary concern, you could consider a hard roll up. The seams are all covered by a vinyl, which will reduce the potential for water to leak at the seams. The X2 and X4s for example, or the Sentry / CT if you move to Truxedo.

 

Seen a nice aluminum trifold made in Canada.
“Bison”- tonneau cover.. really low profile, and really light and strong.

 

Thanks for the response. I'm not set on folding, it's just what I know and am used to lol. Because I work with (not for) Toyota I am able to get the OEM Toyota one which I believe is the same as a MX4 for less than buying an MX4 direct from backflip. But the G2 costs less than what I can get the OEM one for. Was just curious on how people felt about them. I like the retrax ones, but not sure if I want to dump that kind of cash on it. Complete water resistance is not necessary, but a good amount of it is preferred.

 

Anyone have any experience with the roll-n-lock? I'd really like to have crossbars & a cover, which seems like the retractable covers are the best solution. I had a retrax pro installed but I'm getting a LOT of water intrusion (steady streams of water) on the passenger side when parked near level with a slight tilt to the passenger side (which is unfortunately where I usually park everyday in my driveway). I'm now unfortunately exploring if there is another option I can switch to. Luckily the installer has been great in trying to help figure it out and working with me on what to do.

It looks like I would lose the tie down rails with the roll-n-lock, which would be disappointing... but I'm running out of options.

I could look into billie bars, but I'm having trouble finding a cover that would work with them.

 

I had a roll n lock on my previous truck (Titan). I can't help you out about the crossbars, but I sealed the edges with a bead of caulk and it was watertight! My primary complaints were I hated the strap needed to close, I couldn't keep it lubricated enough to just push open (I needed to really shove it hard to get it all the way open), and the plastic rail caps at the ends of the rails broke in no time.

I put a Retrax Pro on my Tundra and will say it leaked pretty good for the first few days to week and then everything seemed to settle in. I only get a trickle on the edges now when going through a car wash.

 

I had Retrax pro put on mine also. I have always had Leer 550 fiberglass on mine. But, if this doesn't leak. Think I will like it better.

 

I've had the undercover flex on my '14 and the Retrax on my '19. It was nice but hated it covered the rear window when open all the way. Warranty on UC was great. The black finish wore thin and started letting water penetrate the actual surface. UC sent me another at no cost. Happened again a yr later. Ended upgrading to the aluminum one. The Retrax was nice but really killed the bed space on the CM short bed. I periodically hauled sheet goods for my cabinet business and once the stack got high enough, everything was shifted out an extra foot or so. Now on my '22 I'm leaning towards a Gator recoil, Bak Revolver, and Truxedo Sentry ct. Really thing the Truxedo cause I like the flat black fabric look. At least until I get a cab high topper.

 

Ill have to get under there and take a look at it. Thanks

 

Got my Bison installed yesterday. Made up in Canada, 689 CAD plus tax, free shipping. I'm happy with it for the price.

 

Great timing! What did you use for clamps? I got my Bison in June, just got truck and went to put it on today but clamps don’t work. If I pull the top cleat rails off then I can use clamps (just not the ones it came with). Pic of what it came with, not enough bite, slips off. And I’d really like to keep the clear rail on

 

There was a second set of clamps in my box, without the boxed end for the nut. I mounted them in reverse with the skinny profile side against the bed. I added a lock washer to help them not come loose. And yeah, the side bed rails need to come off. There was a set of plates with mine you can use to mount the rails lower, haven't gotten around to doing that part yet though

 

Anyone using a rough country? They seem similar to backflip other than you can't fold it all the way up.

 

Ah man I didn’t even look at the second set, assumed it was just more of the same. 50/50 chance I guess I picked wrong. That’s awesome thank you, hopefully that does the trick! Assumed that’s what the plates are for but seemed strange it would lower it that much, must be almost 3 inches. Time to go back to the garage

exit: annnnd done. Fits ok, like you said for the price i have no complaints, other than lack of lock washers or lock nuts. Biggest gap for water and dust will actually be the sides of the tailgate itself, not the covers fault. Did you use the supplied weatherstripping on the front? Doesn’t seem like it needs it

 

For the included weatherstripping that came with the Diamondback SE, does it need to be flush with the stripping on the cover itself?

 

I asked before and got no response, but has anyone tried the Weathertech alloy tonneau cover? I am between that and the Backflip MX4(which is less with Realtruck). Thanks in advance

 

Anyone try to the Extang Solid Fold 2.0? I'm trying to figure out a good solution that will also allow me to run crossbars. Billiebars recommended the Extang Solid Fold 2.0 as a good cover that keeps the weather out when using their bars.

 

On a 2022 Crewmax, 6.5 bed... Can I use a rack system with the OEM cover?

 

KB Voodoo crossbars and Max Modular bed racks are compatible with the OEM cover.

For those with the OEM cover, can you tell me if you can open and close the tailgate without having to lift the last panel? Or do you have to lift the last panel to close the tailgate? Do you have pictures of your cover?

 

I've had the OEM cover since January. You can open & close the tailgate 100% independently of the tonneau cover. In fact, you can't lift the last panel without opening the tailgate because you can't access the latch.

There's hundreds of pics of the OEM cover so I won't bother uploading another one.

 

Lol thanks! Yeah I looked at the pictures as I was comparing them to the bakflip since I'm pretty sure that's who makes them. Someone said it's the equivalent of the MX4 which is good. But the pictures I found look more like the fibermax which you cannot close the tailgate without lifting the cover before you do it. That is why I asked. Whereas the MX4 you don't have to do anything with the cover to close the tailgate.

 

A big shout out to @SantanaRealtruck for an outstanding ordering process. I ordered the RetraxPro XR this past Monday afternoon and received it on Wednesday (2 day shipping). I'll be installing it this weekend. FedEx banged the box up a tad but hopefully there's no damage. Fingers crossed.

 

This is the Undercover ArmorFlex Tonneau cover. First time owning a Tonneau cover but went with this model for its low profile, line-x panels to match the bed that has line-x spray, durability, Made in USA, and this has a 5-year warranty. Ordered it from RealTruck and shipped the next day. Maybe even the same day.... Put it on yesterday (very easy to install as they supply you with special clamps to fit in the bed rails) right before a bruiser of a storm and went to check afterward and bed was bone dry except for two very small spots of water by the left and right tailgate. For the size and strength of the storm was very happy with it! Tailgate opens and closes with no problems.

 

Review bought a BISON trifold for my crewmax 6.5, looks just like a Bakflip G2 (and Bison sent me a Bakflip G2 video link for install).
- i don't recommend a trifold for a 6.5 box, it should be 4 pieces. when folded back against the cab its 4 or 5 inches higher than cab, big wind catcher and camera is blocked
- when folded against the cab it rests 100% on the rear light/camera bracket, not against the cab metal. pretty tricky to place the rubber pads on the tonneau to properly protect the cab light
- install is simple. have to remove the factory bed rail/cleat bar. they do provide some flat brackets to lower the factory bar a couple inches so it can be used, haven't done this yet.
- no locknuts or lockwashers provided for the mount clamps, had to buy some
- its their 07-21 tundra unit, so actually a bit narrow for the 2022, should be 1/2" or 3/4" wider to fit perfectly. When I latch the last panel by tailgate I need to wiggle it back and forth a bit to ensure both side latches catch

for under $700CAD ish and free shipping in canada; its super cheap, relatively fine and its good value for the cost. If it was 4 panels instead of the 3 I would like it way more. Does the basics likes keeps the weather and looky loos out. Wish I could justify the cost of a Retrax that I've owned before, if money was no object I would have a Retrax hands down

Does it cover the camera and bed light when folded up against the cab? I don't think the bakflip ones do or the OEM one does either.

 

I does block the camera in full upright. But I don't really plan to ride with it that way often. I can get by with only partial open. I will say it does a good job in full upright position keeping it away from the glass or leaning up against the cabin. there is a good 6-8 inches clearance.

 

Ordered a Truxedo Pro X15 for my CrewMax, and super happy with the fabric texture, and all was watertight after the first thunderstorm and wash yesterday. Shipping was quicker through RealTruck.com and coupon worked, compared to directly with Truxedo.

Only suggestion is to remove the deck rack track at the cab end of the bed, as the mounting bolts don't fit real well with that still in place.

 

Ah man bummer. I really like the idea of the line x covered panels etc. But blocking the camera is sort of a deal breaker for me.

 

Got the RetraxPro XR installed. Thanks again @SantanaRealtruck.

 

Opened my Bak X4S and was disappointed both plastic end caps on the cover arrived broken. One side was cracked down the middle, other side had broken clips. Also found the tail ends on tailgate side to be dangerously sharp.
