2022 Tonneau covers

15% increase with OEM.

 

How is this cover with leaking? I installed the F1 as well and mine is terrible. Bakflip is sending me an entire new unit; I'm hoping I just got a bad one and this isn't normal.

....and yes, the instructions I received with my cover showed brackets used for another vehicle, nothing like the Tundra, LOL.

 

Wow, that much? Sheesh, with these gas prices, the cover will pay for itself in no time. lol

 

Yup. Was averaging about 730km on a tank and now closer to 830km.

 

Access roll up tonneau cover. Have had great results with the prior 2.

 

Mine comes in today!

 

Here is the Extang Xceed tonneau cover. Went this route because I like how low profile it is, and you can hardly tell it is folding since the hinges are very well hidden. Took it through the car wash and it did let a bit of water in, but not too terribly bad. If I was so concerned about things staying completely dry in my truck bed, I would have bought an SUV. It was super easy to install. Took me like an hour or so, once I figured out that my instructions were incorrect. They included instructions for the clamping style mounts, but the mounts for this kit bolt right up to the existing holes for the bed track system. I can't speak to an increase in fuel economy. I haven't noticed any gains there in the couple weeks I have had it on.

 

I actually installed mine using your video. Great job. Mine does not leak at all and I've taken it through the touchless carwash. I just made sure all the rubber parts laid flat and pushed it up against the cab as much as I could as instructed. The only part that gets a little water in is the rear of the bed where the tonneau meets the tailgate. And even there, the water just drips off the edge of the bed. It doesn't actually get on anything sitting in the bed.

 

so far so good! Just got done with a 12 hour drive with half of it being through rain and everything was dry.

 

Man, that's good to hear! Hopefully my replacement gets here in a couple weeks. If you ever go through car washes, let me know how it fares! Before I'm lectured by anyone. I know this is high pressure, yadda yadda. I'm just curious.

 

If anyone (like me!) is looking for the Yakima Tonneau kit to mount their Overhaul HD rack system to something like the Retrax XR series of covers, I found one in stock! Seems like the only place in the entire country that has them at the moment: https://www.tonneaufactoryoutlet.co...ing-kit-for-mounting-overhaul-or-outpost.html

Yakima seem to be struggling with supply-line issues like everyone else, many of their accessories and kits are back-ordered everywhere.

 

So I can't get the rails for my cover to sit low enough to be flush with the bed on one side. I even loosened the side accessory rail and tried to push it down as far as I can. Not sure what else to do aside form literally grind some of the rail off the bottom so it sits flush.

 

Yakima pulled all their inventory from the third party warehouses so that is why so many dealers are not able to get their products either! I heard that Yakima is focusing on OEM parts.

 

Just put on this hard sided tri-fold is a generic no name off ebay paid $318 + tax. I'm super impressed with it for the money, its solid goes on and off easy, its not flush mount OEM, but doesn't cost $1300 either.

 

Super happy with the Access Tonnosport.
I have a very, very hard time believing paying more for another brand soft top would be worth paying more for.
The fit is extremely impressive for $300.
I was concerned at first that I couldn’t get the bed rails quite low enough to sit totally flush, but in the end it didn’t matter. They’re about 1/8” or so higher than flush but the sides still come down enough to make contact with the top of the bed and you can’t even tell it’s not perfect.
It rains basically every day here in South Louisiana in the afternoons this time of the year so it shouldn’t be long before I can see how it does in the rain.I don’t expect it to be 100% waterproof. If it stop 90% of the rain, I’ll be perfectly happy with that.

 

REI just 3 miles down the road from me said they can get the Yakima HD bars and Overhaul HD truck rack. I'm not interested but that may be an option.

 

I slapped my gator trifold from my 2021 tundra on in a pinch. I had a trip to the coast and we were expecting rain. We got HEAVY rain and despite the 1/4' gap at the end near the tailgate, my stuff stayed dry for the most part. I'd like to get something that fits but I may work to weather proof it enough for my climate (high desert) and spend my money on steps or other stuff for now.

 

Pretty sure it's the same basic model they just include some extra foam pieces for the 22, wouldn't be hard to find something similar.

 

I don't generally like to half ass stuff but I think I can live with a modified tonneau for a while. Especially if I can effectively seal it up.

 

I kind wish I'd taken a photo of the pieces for you, hopefully whoever else here buys one next can do it but it's literally just two little pieces of foam the close the the gap that I pointed out in this post:

https://www.tundras.com/threads/2022-tonneau-covers.101527/page-21#post-2813184

Would be pretty easy to find something at any hardware store for a couple of bucks and you'll have something just as nice as a new one.

 

when I figure out what I’m going to do I will post some info. I found some stuff on Amazon but I didn’t dig too deep into it yet.

 

Yeah I think any outdoor weather strip would work with some experimentation, I bought

$18 Foam Weather Stripping-2 Rolls, 1" Wide X 3/4" Thick, Insulation Foam Strips with Adhesive for Door,Automotive,Air Conditioner Seal, Total 13 Feet Long (6.5ft x 2 Rolls)

this to go a bit further as I've found the tailgate let's in a crapload of dust when offroad, it would work on the tonneau gaps as well.

 

So it has been absolutely POURING down hard all day today.
I have an extremely minimal amount of water in the bed. As in the entire bed is completely dry except a few drips here and there around some edges.
I’d be 100% comfortable driving through any rain with luggage, etc in the bed and wouldn’t be worried about it in the slightest.
I’m very, very impressed for $300 since it seems some of the $1,000+ hard tops can’t even seal this good.

 

I have a diamondback hd I plan on putting on if my truck will ever comes in. Haha. I put a set of Yakima crossbars on it for bikes and possibly kayaks. Will post pics of it on the truck when it arrives…. One day!

 

Has anyone else noticed that once you put one of the tri fold, flush mount bed covers on, that wonderfully engineered rail system is useless? The cleats with the big round tightening knob will no longer fit. Have automobile manufactures just quit testing or doing R&D? They just shove them out the door and see what happens?

 

They still work and clear fine on my Access cover.

 

They work with my Retrax Pro XR. They didn't work with my UnderCover Tri-fold which is one of the reasons I ditched it.

 

Work perfect on my OEM cover.

 

I've had an Extang Exceed and Bakflip F1 on my 22 and the rail system works fine with both covers.

 

I'm a big fan of TruXedo... have had them on all my trucks. Had bought off on having the factory cover since it was on the build sheet.. but when the truck arrived... the cover had been removed due to a recall. So back to square one and TruXedo. The only difference this time was thinking I was going to have the factory cover I sold myself on the "hard" cover... so ordered the TruXedo Sentry CT which is a roll-up with aluminum slats so it's a 'hard' cover with the soft look. I ordered on a Monday night and had it on Wednesday afternoon with their 'ground' shipping! I really like the look.
