Definitely a nice cover but not for the winter time climate I live in. Ice and water and build up and then you get it open rolled up then it freezers and you can't close it. My heaviest Duty 8 ft backflip I'm able to brush off the snow and open and close no problem. Mine though is an inconvenience to always have to climb up to open it fully or close it and gets very heavy opening all the panels. I do not lose any cargo space with it fully open and secured to travel down the road. I especially like that my back flip only cost about 1/4 the price of yours but I am in no way knocking your purchase. Thank you for the very good review along with all your other quality videos.
Awesome channel man. I just this though the Yakima rack vid. I commented on how expensive the lid is too but it’s honestly the best option out there for secure bed storage. I’m just trying to figure if I change trucks before investing in the whole system.
Its really cool ,but not worth $4K. I can buy a bed cover, molle panels for the bed (to secure the toolbox) and a nice low profile toobox for at most half that price. Cool video ,but im not in the right tax bracket to be buying something like this haha.
I really like this system but would a fifth wheel trailer clear the top of the box that's my only concern could you measure how high it sits above the top of the bed?
Tight fit probably if you have a short bed without sliding 5th wheel . Might be better to never buy a short bed truck ever again thats not at least a 1ton lol.
Super sweet looking truck. Just ordered to toolbox/cover so thank you! I do have another question if you don’t mind. What type and size of tires do you have and did you put a lift or level on it?
Hello , I loved this, this is exactly what I’m looking for my 2020 Ram. Would it be to much to tell me how you purchased it ? Like the options you chose. I want it exactly like yours with the exception of the extra racks I believed you mentioned.
Ok so I chose this option because i don’t want the racks as I mentioned, “No, Tonneau Cover Only”. Would I still get the light inside the tool box? It doesn’t let me choose if I want it or not.
I saw you have the Built Right bed side mounting racks in the bed of your truck. Did you have to modify those or anything to fit the clamps for the cover rails? I have this cover on my 2017 F-150 with the Built Right racks and the racks interfere with the last clamp towards the end of the bed. Before I go cutting anything wanted to see if you found another way to make it work. Thanks!
How is the watertightness? Of both the tonneau cover, and the toolbox itself? If you covered it at what timestamp? Thanks so much, we live in the most heavy rain climate and park outside so it's critical
@@PatriotDIY Thanks very much for replying, I greatly apprecaite it. So hard to get first-hand information about products like this tonneau which, although expensive, are pretty rare so I don't know anyone with it personally. I'm thinking to go with the "jr" version.
@@PatriotDIY One more question if I can - it seems like you're also in the southeast - how hot does it get in the summer sun? Or at least, how hot does the box and the side rails get. (Often have my little kids playing in the back, sitting on the side of the bed etc and it's blazing sun down here all the time)
I am looking into one of these, they are pricy but may be worth it for security reasons. I cannot get a straight answer out of these people how much weight I would need to handle at one time to install this. They told me the package weight is about 400 pounds. I cannot handle 400 pounds, when you installed yours how much weight did you have to handle at any one time?
@@PatriotDIY Thanks! Yes I'm just worried from some reviews saying that since the jr toolbox removes the bristles that are otherwise on top of the canister it gets stuck, and considering that in this area of the county every other day is a downpour half the year, I have seen reviews saying the water permeability of this one is pretty poor. This one is pretty rare, do you have some connection to the company or you just found it by googling? I would love to give you the percentage by buying it through the link, but there's a local shop here that installs it and guarantees their work but only if I order it from their shop. All the best to you!
@@PatriotDIY Did you wire it any special way to make it work in that way? The customer service would only commit to that it would open and close with the fob but they were equivocal
I understand...but It would be hard to find any other high quality power locking, lighted tool box and a retractable bed cover for less. Toolbox is 20" wide and 15" deep
Very sweet truck and great video! I’m thinking of ordering one for my 22 F350 with 8’ bed. I plan to install the Magnum Headache rack which will take up some space between the tool box and rear window. Do you know if the rails of the cover can be cut or shortened to the modified length I’ll end up with after headache rack is installed?
Over 4 grand!!! Now all of a sudden the cons become a lot more important... Tool box too small The loose strap is laughable Water draining into the tracks so now i have drain tubes in the way... Wiring a toolbox Only black Dont get me wrong, loose the electrical crap, and offer it for $1,500 to $1900 and now we have something... I suspect this is why the decked box doesn't have a built-in tonneau cover.. These greedy bastards are sitting on this patent!
OK if one does not mind losing 50% of the cargo space in the truck. With a truck shell I have double the cargo capacity and can take much larger items protected from rain and dirt than with the tonneau cover.
I havnt lost anything, if I need to haul larger items I just retract the cover. In fact with the cover open there are NO height limits....with a shell you are more limited than we are with a retractable tonneau
@---tx9xx I havnt haul anything on top of it yet but I have walked on it a couple times. Yes you could use the tracks to add tie-downs. The cover can support 500lbs
@@PatriotDIY Thank you sir, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. I'm still between this and the renegade tonneau and the new diamondback switchback. Cool that it does let you haul on top too
Very nice toolbox and cover combo. I'd definitely pick one of these up if I were Bill Gates or Warren Buffett!
$4K, no way!
Its too small for me . I need way more storage, but it is a nice setup.
I seen $5,500 with all the bells and whistles!
Yea, I don’t think so.
No damn way it’s worth 5k.
You’d know I won the lottery if I have this on my truck

I see this too late,this is definitely what I want.
If water gets into the box, what’s inside will smell moldy and will rust. I’ve got a $200 Lowe’s tool box whose interior is always dry.
@@psychmr2365 water never gets in the box....
$4,000?? There's a 0% chance this ever enters my cart.

Dude, love this channel! Really helps me figure out how I wanna set up my 2022 f250.
Will it work with a fifth wheel hitch? I am concerned if I turn 90% it will hit the top of the tool box. I have a Ford F450 long bed.
I feel it's way to expensive for what it is and also I feel like the whole toolbox is taken away from the roll uo cover its a pass for me
what is the height of the tool box from the rail up?

Really interested in buying this as I really need a bed cover and tool box. My only concern is will it work with my goose neck (2 5/16 ball) trailer?
I would like to see the strap be retractable
Truck world became starbucks. 5k for this😂
Any idea if the wiring for a 2022 F-150 Lariat Powerboost would be the same?
$4099 (ouch). It’s nice but not sure I like it that much.
That price is insane. Not for the average person
How does it hold up to the snow & ice?
Hold up fine, but ice can prevent it from opening easily

Link in the description from Realtruck.com
Ok so I chose this option because i don’t want the racks as I mentioned, “No, Tonneau Cover Only”. Would I still get the light inside the tool box? It doesn’t let me choose if I want it or not.
I do want the light by the way. The only thing I didn’t want were the extra racks like you had.
Sorry for so many questions. I hope you don’t mind.
@@rendon47 you may need to contact realtruck to confirm that the light and locking mechanism are included
I wanted one of those soooooo bad. But they cover the stake hole pockets, so it wouldn’t work for me. Also, it’s PRICEY.
Very pricey! ...
a bed cover or a full top spec custom pc and peripherals. tough choice.
You aren’t building a 4090/13000k for 4k, m8. Ask me how I know
Where’d you get the Jerry can, fire extinguisher and small tool box setup? Tucks in there nicely!
ua-cam.com/video/IOwuNRxBzTk/v-deo.html
Awesome !! Will it fit my Titan XD ?
Price is way off from reality. This system is very nice, but I wouldn’t pay more than 2k for it

Yes!! I had to cut a small section of the builtright panel where the tonneau cover clamp goes. Used a dremel tool
Hello I have a question about this cover is your truck a short bed and if so can you please give me a measurement of the bed length after the tool box
Bed is 6'9", toolbox is 20" so 61" after toolbox
How did you order the remote locks, LEDs and other add ons?
I can’t see any of these when I try to order it
Id contact RealTruck or Truck Covers USA and they should be able to help with that.
How is the watertightness? Of both the tonneau cover, and the toolbox itself? If you covered it at what timestamp? Thanks so much, we live in the most heavy rain climate and park outside so it's critical
I havnt had any water get in even under heavy rain. I've even gone through a carwash without water getting into either

I didn't weigh it. But the toolbox is probly the heaviest part. The cover canister, side rails and roll cover are all separate peices.

@@tmatt1999 just me
DOes locking the truck with the keypad for example lock it also or does it have to be pushing the keyfob button? or using the car buttons also works
It locks with the truck reguardless of the method used to lock it

Are the Yakima rails removable from the bed cover rails?
They are an add on. If you don't want them you can order it without them
@@PatriotDIY can you order the Yakima rails later and install them at a later date?
@@richardowens6315 yes
I was wondering why you didn't quote the price in the video.. Then I clicked on the link.😮
Lol she's expensive...but there's nothing else like it on the market!
How big is the toolbox? however 4,000 is way to much money, who can afford this, their losing lots of money.

Now all of a sudden the cons become a lot more important...
Tool box too small

Water draining into the tracks so now i have drain tubes in the way...
Wiring a toolbox
Only black

How waterproof is it?
I have 0 leaks, even in heavy rain or when going through a car wash
Have you or anyone used it in freezing temps with snow@@PatriotDIY
@scottstedronsky4594 yes! If it gets wet and it freezes it is very difficult to open.
That strap is ridiculous I would cut that of immediately and get a light long hook to hang up and out of the way.
OK if one does not mind losing 50% of the cargo space in the truck. With a truck shell I have double the cargo capacity and can take much larger items protected from rain and dirt than with the tonneau cover.

Have you tried hauling anything on top of the cover? The Yakima tracks seem to allow you to attach tie-down anchors no?
@---tx9xx I havnt haul anything on top of it yet but I have walked on it a couple times. Yes you could use the tracks to add tie-downs. The cover can support 500lbs
@@PatriotDIY Thank you sir, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. I'm still between this and the renegade tonneau and the new diamondback switchback. Cool that it does let you haul on top too
About to buy one off someone. But they have the 6’6 bed and I have a 5’7 bed. Would it still fit my bed?
Does the strap flap in the wind when driving on the freeway with the cover open when attached even to that velcro setup?
Not much, but I also attached a carabiner to the grommet on the end of the strap and keep it clipped to the tie-down on the side.
For $4k it should be powered lol
The toolbox is powered
You need to be an electrician for this thing. The loose your trucks warranty. No thank you.
@@JuanLopez-nw6ck you don't have to opt for the auto lock and lighting features....those are add ons
Pay somebody 4k to get…. Cool roll-up with half a toolbox? Nope.
way to expensive. its a truck. use it like a truck not a suburban.
It is used like a truck....but i have options! I can leave it open like any other truck bed or I can lock my cargo and keep it from getting wet....
bozo DIY
toolbox for weekend warriors who dont really work, especially at that price....dork doesnt even have headache rack
Who don't really work??? Lol. You obviously don't know me.
serious q why would you need a headache rack with the toolbox? It already provides some defense against something smashing into your back window....
