    Looking at buying the DiamondBack HD tonneau cover for my 25' Tundra 1794.

    For those that own the HD, can anyone tell me what the added height at the tailgate is with the cover on?

    I’m guessing + 3-4” but trying to find out exactly if I can (DB site doesn’t seem to list the height) as I am putting in some shelving in my garage but will need to of course place the shelf higher than what the truck bed and cover are.

    Thanks all!

    EDIT/UPDATE to my own question: per a DiamondBack customer experience manager: Thanks for reaching out! The DiamondBack has a 2" profile.

    I measure over 4” from the bed rail, including the latch/lock assembly.

    the thickness of the metal cover may be 2”, but once you add the gasket and latch, it’s well over 2”.

    As Bulldog 6 is saying... It is just under 4" with the latch. You wont find a better cover. 4 years now on my PRO.... not 1 issue.

    Thank you both! Appreciate the help and the measurement pic!

    I put in a floating shelf across the back of my garage wall where the Tundra will be parked (backed in) and made sure to leave some extra wiggle room just in case.

    thanks again all!

    I'm purchasing a Diamondback cover for my 22 tundra and will be installing a rack that attaches to the cleats. I'm having the factory install the cleats and am wondering if anyone can tell me the distance between the side cleats front to back. Total distance as well as the distance between each cleat. Thanks in advance!

    Is your truck bed 5.5’ or 6.5’?

    5.5’. I guess that would help! ‍

    Hello Forum,
    I have a 2016 Tundra Quicksand TRD Pro and just picked up a used Diamondback SE for a Gen 2.5 Tundra.
    It was cheap ($450), but needs some TLC.
    I believe it was originally shiny aluminum, then painted flat black.

    I plan on using Raptor bed liner to coat it (after proper prep...).
    Anyone know how the standard Black Raptor bed liner will match my TRD Pro Black trim?
    Per the Raptor website, the gloss level of Black Raptor is approximately 10 gloss units, or a satin finish.

    Anyone color match their Diamondback Bed Cover?
    If so, can you post or send me a picture of the Cover on your Tundra.
    It would add about $100 to the project cost, but if it's going to look awesome color matched, then it would be $100 well spent.

    Thank you.
    Tom

    I cant help with the Raptor bed liner question.
    I think the color matched comes down to personal preference, however the raptor lining may be more durable than just a painted cover.
    I attached a couple examples of color matched tonneau covers that may be able to help you make your decision.

    Thank you for the pics.
    I forgot that those 1 piece fiberglass covers are typically color matched.
    I'm thinking black would look better...
