2022 Tonneau covers

I noticed that it looks like your rail clamps are not clamped on the Toyota rails. Is your truck the SR? All other models other than the SR should have Toyota rails that you can use with the Toyota clamp brackets that should have been in you Undercover kit. See below.

 

Is your rail pushed all the way up to the front Toyota rails? See picture below.

 

Yes I have the SR, no factory rails. Used the other clamps provided. I did push the rails as far as they go to the front, however the cover itself I had to move slightly back as to provide enough overlap for the seal over the tailgate

 

Ok. If you don't have enough length to cover the front and the back then that is a problem. With my cover the only issue that I had was getting it far enough forward for the gasket to cover the front. The back is ok You could contact the manufacturer and convey the issue and the fact that you just don't have enough length to cover the bed. It seems like it could be a manufacturing issue if you do have the length to cover both.

 

I've seen that issue with every Undercover I've installed. Seems like they could all use an extra 1/2". Doesn't matter what make they are installed on.

 

For those of you with the Undercover UltraFlex, what made you choose that over the ArmorFlex? I have a 2023 on the way and I'm trying to decide which one to buy.

 

BAK makes Undercover as well as they are the same company. I have the F1 with a 5 year warranty but wish I had the drain tubes from the Ultraflex even though I am not a fan of the carpeted underside.

 

I had no factory rails, ultra flex comes with own attachment clamps, and it’s sold on Amazon which I get 5% off and can spread monthly payments over 12 months no interest. Those were my reasons

 

One of the big differences is your preference of the finish on the top of the cover. If you clean your truck often and expect to clean the cover I with a rag or a sponge I think the Ultrafex is a better option. If you use your truck more for a work truck and only occasionally hose off the cover then you may prefer the more heavy duty finish of the armorflex. I haven't seen the armorflex in person but I think the finish is rough and textured like a Linex truck bed so it may not be easy to clean using a wipe down method. I think it comes down to your preference on the finish and the usage of your truck.

 

Interesting, I never realized how many brands were under Realtruck.

Makes sense. I'll have the rails so I wasn't thinking about that.

Thanks for sharing. That is part of the reason I was leaning toward the ArmorFlex, hoping that it would be more durable.

 

Would you mind giving me the total dims of your cover L"xW"? please

 

I am in the same boat as my Tundra should arrive in July. I am going with the Armorflex versus the Ultraflex for the following reasons. One is I like the look of Line -X flat black coating better. Two the Line-X is more durable and resists scratches and dents better. Thirdly, when flipped up all the way it does not rest against the cab and finally, I've heard of reports that the Ultraflex can absorb water within the FRP panels over time and results in the panels getting heavier and heavier. There are some YouTube videos I believe on this last issue.

 

I got 82" x 67.25". I have the standard 6'7" bed. The measurement may be off a tiny bit because of the beveled top and a solo job on measurement. But I think it's pretty accurate.

 

awesome, man
really appreciate it

 

my undercover ultra flex seems like it fits perfect , maybe I got lucky or something then

 

Maybe... Even though they are both truck hero companies, I could install a bak flip on a truck and an ultra flex on an identical truck the same day and the ultra flex would always be a mess to get good coverage in both front and back. Ironically, they have more robust seals on the sides which add coverage on the bed rails.

That's the only knock I can give the ultra flex, besides that, they are really nice covers.

 

I have had my WeatherTech hard cover for 9 months so far. Doesn’t leak. Have no issues other than my 80qt Cabelas cooler doesn’t fit underneath. I would recommend this cover. It’s made by Lomax, but Weathertech will back it up for life so that’s why I went this route.

 

The weather tech only folds twice though right doesn’t go all the way up to let the entire bed use right ? My busniess partner has one on his ram, nice cover but it didn’t fold all the way up you had to take it off if you wanted access to where the third panel is

 

Correct. Doesn’t fold on cab. Every cover has its pros and cons. But there’s no recall on it for flying off and it keeps the bed dry.

 

Thanks for replying. I’m going to order the Armorflex too.

 

Yes the revolver X4s roll up hard cover. Just not a great fit or design.

 

I had my BakFlip MX4 delivered over the weekend. Still waiting for the truck to come. Should be here this week. Should install it within the first day or 2.

 

Thanks to everyone on this thread for sharing thoughts and advice on bed covers. It was a lot to go through but finally made a decision. RetraxPRO MX installed today by a local shop in Houston.

Pretty excited about it. Love the look. And after a brief rain this afternoon things look promising in terms of being rain resistant.

 

I disagree with this. I have the Revolver X4S and it's the best cover I've ever owned.

 

I have an Ultraflex and I noticed that I had a small leak in water collector where it interfaces with the aluminum extrusion. The water was coming out the small rectangular channel that is in the middle of the extrusion. The picture below shows where I had the RTV nozzle in this channel. I filled this with RTV and also the end of the rail where the rectangle is wide open. The RTV seems to have fixed this leak. To see if you have this problem you can just flip the cover all the way back and slowly pour some water in the channel. One side of my rails had a leak and the other did not. But I just filled both to make sure neither would leak in the future.

 

That makes sence to plug that end of the channel. Not sure why they would even leave that open if that channel collects the water. I was also thinking on the other end of the channel where it butts up to the front of the box to use a piece of foam to seal that joint during installation. Use the same foam that they give you for the back of the box.

 

Good call just added some marine sealant to mine, I think they made the rails a touch short if they wanted to drain the overflow out those little holes at the end of the rail .

I also sealed the hole in the end piece that slides in.

every cover I’ve ever owned has always needed a touch of sealant here or there , it’s no big deal .

thanks for the info as I just got mine and starting to make sure it’s as water tight as it can get

 

Had my weather tech for over a year. Five hunting trips at 570 miles each way often in driving rain. No leaks. Coleman 316 150 quart cooler fits under it.

 

For those of you interested in a diamond back but wanted something to fold as well, they just released a new cover. https://diamondbackcovers.com/products/diamondback-switchback

 

This might be a game changer. 900lb static load is awesome, plus a 400 lb haul rating, not just weight-bearing. Only other trifold with that high of a weight rating I’ve found was the renegade cover. But I haven’t found many reviews or good reviews about it.
