    I searched and did not see a thread on this, so I am starting one so people interested in adding a cover can see what options there are. Post a pic, what you like, what you don't like, and help others looking to make a good choice on this purchase.

    I've just ordered this from tonneaucoversworld.com and can't wait to get it on and see if it is what I am looking for.

    I can't find a pic on the Tundra, unfortunately, but will post one once I get it on.

    BAK Revolver X2, nice look, works great until it gets cold out, then it won't roll up.

    Thanks Ike. Like you in Wisconsin, in Colorado, we get our share of cold weather too, so that is a non-bueno tonneau. Other than that, I like the idea of a metal reinforced roll-up tonneau.

    I like that it rolls up into a canister and out of the way. Very secure and you don't have to open the tail gate to access the bed.

    No dislikes regarding mine. After researching many different types, I decided this one suited my needs best. Watertight, strong and lockable.

    Installed a GatorTrax MX today, so no long term opinions yet. The instructions could be improved a little bit (the install book covers multiple vehicles and could flow more smoothly), but was a pretty quick one-man job.

    Ditto for me, and I bought mine used so the price was also great.

    Truck Covers USA - American Roll Cover

    Love this cover, install was pretty simple and straightforward. Keeps bed 99% dry so far through a few good rain events. Smallest canister on a retractable bed cover (8"x8"). I don't have pics but I also installed Yakima tracks and rack on the cover rails. Truck Covers sells the Yakima setup as a complete product called American Rack as well so you wouldn't have to install the rails.

    Retrax works great. Locks in any position. Uses factory rail system to clamp it down. Factory cleats can still be used. It's a great cover. I'm very happy with it!IMG_20200130_110114925.jpg

    How much bed length do you lose? I'm debating between Retrax and Truck Covers USA. Truck Covers advertises an 8" x 8" canister, but someone said their's took up more than the advertised 8" x 8". The Retrax states their canister is 11" x 11", but I'm sure you lose more than 11" in bed length. Curious to hear just how much you lose.

    I measured it today and you lose 13 inches. But the box is 12 inches from the bottom of the bed. So you can still use the full bed length for wood or low boxes, things like that.hope this helps your decision.

    Gator SRX roll up cover. Had great reviews and was pretty inexpensive compared to other roll ups. I enjoy it
