Spot on again brother, My old man has a access on his ram , It's held up for about 5-6 years so far through the brutal Chicago winters and hellish summers and repeated drive thru car washes , definitely a good product. The only thing that has worn is the little rubber logo stitched on the end .
Dill Withers Will it hold snow?
IBTJC 4Life , it's never been wet , he keeps it constantly covered. I just looked one up for my 2500 and there is a picture of a guy shoveling snow out of one on there website, it also makes mention to its water and mold resistance I believe
An Access cover is the 1st accessory purchased for any I've truck bought in the past 10 years. They look great, hold up well and the company stands behind their product. Had an issue with the hook & loop that they resolved without question.
R / V Thurston: I've had the same great experience. Thanks!
"Good morning Mr Bond" (as the tail-gate opens automatically at the push of a button on the key-fob) Don't think I would ever tire of that.
Matthew Godwin first thing I commented on!
Wanted to stop by and say thank you,
I've been planning for a future in an RV fulltime now for the past three years. I wanted to thank you for making the decision on which truck to go with a lot easier. I've referred your videos to a lot of people and many say they are great as well. I really trust the information you are putting out.
Mark
Our Future in an RV: thank you sir very kind of you to say
Largely because of this video, my Access Toolbox Edition will be here tomorrow for my F-250, and will work great with my low profile toolbox. Thanks for the video.
I have had my Access for 6 years now and I live in Arizona and the sun and the 120 degree heat is no match for it !!!
Thanks for the showing this product. Bought one for my husband's truck and he is very satisfied.
Just bought a new Ram and was debating to get the tri-fold or the roll up cover. I found out that in order to use all of my bed, the tri-fold would have to be partially disassembled from the bed. Then you're stuck either putting inside the bed or placing somewhere for storage.
The roll up cover was the best choice! Sleekest look and easy access to my entire bed sold me on it.
Seth Adams Look up on UA-cam Truck Covers USA or Diamondback.
Menacing Scarab I understand.
Someday someone is going to make a cover that allows you to cover your bed while the 5th wheel trailer is hooked up.
Jay R North you got a box cutter that might be your million dollar idea lol
I want to dog kennel for 4 dogs in where the tool chest is. Might have to have it custom or just put a truck cap in a toy hauler.
Thank you for this video. Your choice makes perfect sense given what you're doing with your truck and how it's configured. Choosing the right cover can be very confusing as there are so many choices out there! I went with a hard Lomax cover because of the equipment I'm carrying and I need it to be locking/more secure than a soft cover is. I didn't go with the roll "in" style because I have the 5.5' bed and I need every inch on the inside. As my needs change, I may consider a camper shell instead of a tonneu cover - that is, unless I decide that a 5th wheel is better ... (in which case I have to sell the F150 and get a 350 or something stronger and this becomes academic).
I agree. I've had Access covers on both of my last 2 trucks.Best covers made in my opinion
We don't have a tool box. So, we went with a soft tri fold. Covers 5th wheel hitch nicely. Also have a long bed. Works for us.
If you use 303 protectant on it about 1-2 times a month it will stay new forever. Used to sell these and the 303 is the best won't let it streak or break down in the sun
Great looking cover...I have a Retrax. You can stand on it, and it is retractable and locks with a key at any point. I think the Access cover is a close second only because it doesn't lock at any point. Great review and video!
tanaue covers are nice they do service a good purpose. personally i'd rather have a cab hi single rear window camper shell because it does cover the bed and you can still have full access to the bed, but yet again if you're pulling a 5th wheel/ goosneck a camper wouldn't be a good idea.
I'm super glad you made the upgrade to the 2017. The 2017 looks sharp
Can I install this toneau while I already have drop-in bed liner? I am worry I can not clam it to the bed, thanks
Very clear and informative video, so glad I found your channel. This Tonneau cover will be going on my 2017 F150.
ramonsjc: thank you sir!
Love my roll up bed cover. Had it on both my SuperDuty trucks.
Definately like the change to the title opening better with the funky bass. I always had to turn the volume down on my speakers with the old one.
How do you choose a cover the right length? Is is a short bed or one especially for toolboxes?
Yuuuup, got the same set up..
I have the Smitty Built Beaver step also. Looks good on your truck too. I came in handy when I was rear ended at a car wash. The lady never put her car in Nuetral and ran right into my Beaver step. Not a scratch on my bumper but it destroyed her good and grille. I have to say. I'm surprise a with your knowledge of various products that a Revolver Tonneau Cover wouldn't have for your needs more effectively. It definitely offers more security over your Access cover as yours is vulnerable to being cut.
How easy is it for someone to open that cover when the truck is locked? I’m thinking of using this with an in bed chest style auxiliary fuel tank
I bought an extang classic platinum tonneau cover for my truck. This cover fixes all the cons of mine.
I may be off here but I am sensing you like this cover.
Is there any soft roll up cover that doesnt block your deck rail system? I want to use my deck rails too and have a soft roll up cover
ok, if you have a fifth wheel hitch in the bed why do you have carpet? why not have a sprayed in bed liner?
The perfect cover for a 5th wheel! Thanks for the info.
A tonneau cover is the next upgrade for our F250. Im also curious about the tie down anchors you've put in your stake holes on your bed. How are they working out?
What size weatherguard toolbox did you go with in order to be able to have the cover as well I’m picking up my 2022 f450 this Saturday
We have that cover on our 2008 F350 dually. Awesome cover
Great video, just got mine. They tell you it'll fit any tool box. Not so, I have a low profile and the header bar goes right in front of the latches making it completely impossible to open your tool box with disassembling the rails. Been nice if they asked that when you ordered.
Did you ever find a cover that will work with your tool box? The locks on my box are too low to work with any cover I've seen so far.
I prefer a Retrax hard retractable cover. Especially useful in the cold climate snowy areas.
Can you actually stand on top of Retrax cover and having 2 chairs on top ? My Arkansas winters are bad with solid ice and snow has ruining my truck soft vinyl cover making deep holes in each section between the covers inside tubing rail long length stretching the vinyl almost making actual holes almost and when it dries out it blows up unlocking the cover flapping away near the tailgate and almost loosing items in my truck bed. I hating winter time and rain storms ruining my cover.
Okay, Just took a walk on the wild side and purchased one. Will let you know how it goes with my ‘09 Ford F-250 and Montana High Country 331RL.
I really liked the Access cover and ordered one for my 2016 Silverado. After installing the cover, I'm thinking I may have a clearance problem when towing my 5th wheel down the driveway when leaving. The driveway has somewhat of a steep slop from the fence to the curb (About 30 feet or so). Before the cover was installed, I probably had 1 to 1-1/2' clearance from the bottom of the 5th wheel to the top rail of the bed. I'm also wondering if I should raise the level of the ball on my Anderson hitch. The current level is perfect for towing.
I put 303 protectant on a cheap Amazon cover. It's held up for 4 years. The installation system is about the same, and it's really well thought out. The one I have has a sketchy latch. You really don't want stuff in the rain and snow. Nice truck. I was hoping you'd go with a Bollinger B1.
Just ordered one. Apparently about 2 weeks too late though with this weather. Did you get the optional tailgate seal? How'd it hold up to the wind and the rain?
Is that velcro holding the sides? That doesn't look very secure.
Thank you
Hello, love your videos....I was just wondering how this cover would handle Canadian winters? Would the cover bow when there is a lot of snow on it? is there good reinforcement underneath to handle the weight?
Does your tool box get in the way of the trailer when making sharp turns? Thanks
The new truck looks great. Color scheme is perfect inside and out. A while back you were doing a series on entry trucks under 30K, will you be going back and doing some other models for that series?
rbuste: thanks and definitely will be more on trucks under 30k
Love your reviews, thanks,
You always give great information and I've come to trust your product reviews.
Can someone answer if it’s secured closed when the bed is locked ? Or can someone just come roll it up even tho it’s locked ?
What size Tonto cover would we need to install in our 8 foot bed ram truck that has a toolbox in it.
Great video, looks great. Can you tell me how wide the bed rail is on the tonneau cover? Concerned about the rear of the cowling on my fifth wheel hitch dragging on the rail when making a sharp turn left or right. Bottom of cowling lines up just about even with the top of the rail of truck bed when towing. (2011 F350 dually, Heartland Bighorn 3055RL).Thank you.
thanks. it's about 1.5"
Great to hear, looked wider in the video, I've got about 2.75" minimum on a tight turn. Looks like I'm getting a new tonneau cover :)
I always thought Tonneau was a company and not a type of thing...
The more you know.
Also very informative, great job!
Damn 27th view? That's a new record! (Not that anyone cares)
Have you ever considered a Diamondback HD cover? Unfortunately, they don't have a model that can be used with a 5th wheel, but I think they are working on it. It seems like an amazing product.
Perry Bolding
I'm gonna level with you, I can't even drive yet. I really only watch this channel for his voice, Professionalism, and the fact that it may help me or a friend in a future decision for a truck/stuff for a truck.
Can you make make a video explaining difference between truck caps and covers. Like a pros and cons video. Thanks. Love the videos
Yes I totally agree with you and I wanted to know as well.
How do you like the bull rings? You do ok with the height of the weatherguard box pulling your fiver?
Thanks
I didn't know you can marry a bull 🐂 with a ring 💍 💒 how do you propose to a bull ?
Would this work with a back rack and a tool box
Can you use this in conjunction with some sort of ladder rack assembly? Like an invisarack? Or anything else
I have an F-350 dually with a 27" tool box in the bed/on the rails... leaves about 68" length x 63.5" width open that I am trying to cover with a similar roll up bed cover. Anybody have any suggestions.
Does your pinbox hit the inner rails when turning sharp?
My dad just got ranchhand bumpers on his truck
I like rollable covers but I will buy this just in case
Great review! Clear and to the point, objective, and very informative. Thanks.
Funny I couldn't find an F-350 with your configuration in Canada . You have to go to the F-450 to get your truck . $81,000+
So I noticed this video was as done years ago. I’m in the market for a cover similar to this so that I may run a toolbox.
How has this cover held up? What do you think about security and it’s ability to keep prying eyes & fingers from lifting up the sides?
✌🏽
I still use this same model on my newer truck.
Mine tools and ice chest full of ice and Pops got stolen while I was in the Tractor Supply Store the criminals have broken my weather stripping to get to my stuff . And in some city my friends have criminals knives cutting up vinyl cover on top stolen tools out of trucks .
Great review! - Does this cover have the ability to move the end point if needed? Explanation: I mostly would want everything covered except the tool box just like you've got it set up in this video, but... Sometimes I need to use a truck bed mount water tank which sticks up about a foot over the top line of the bed. Is it possible on those times to either move the forward end point of the cover back some to accommodate the water tank, or possibly get a second cover section that's shorter to accommodate it? In other words, is the front end point of the cover easily movable or would it have to be reinstalled?
Start The Rebellion: It's very easy to remove the front mounting point, but I'm not sure it would be convenient.
OK, why would it not be convenient? Would it have to be "uninstalled" and the "reinstalled"? I'm very tall if it's just a matter of reaching something.
Have had the soft covers before but they have no security to them.....Thieves can easily cut the top and take what they want.
really good
Does this come with a seal to go on the front to the toolbox and bed?
This is exactly what I was wondering. How do you keep water from getting in between the box and the front of the bed? Is there a seal of any kind? If so, what would that be called?
Thanks good info
That's pretty dope looking and it let's you have a tool box
I have the same in my truck...only problem is a box cutter will get through it
mr.potato head don't need to use a box cutter. A coat hanger with a loop reach in grab the release cable it's open, from the videos I've seen. It's what has prevented me from getting a soft cover.
mr.potato head: true, but you'd still have to really work to get anything big out of the back. Also, most solid covers can be defeated by simply pulling up hard on the rear most flap. Example was my Extang Solid Fold.
I've never been a fan of bed tool boxes because of how hard it is to access the stuff inside
Do you get leaks between the tool box and the front of the bed or did you seal it somehow?
My major concern is water. How well does it seal out the water? Any leaks around the sides or tailgate?
Would the rails of the cover prevent a slide in truck camper or would the rails probably not come in contact with the truck camper?
Bluegrass Kid: they wouldnt work together. Fortunately, they take all of 15minutes to put on and off.
What storage so,union would you recommend for a 2017 Nissan Titan? I don’t really want a full toolbox (because my bed is already short) but I can’t find a tonneau cover that fits a slim one. I need to carry the truck basics, jumper cables, trailer hitch, tow strap, basic tool set, tree saver winch strap and 2 extra shackles. Thank dude! Love your vids
Have a 2018 f450 king ranch bought this bed cover and have a problem with the clamps coming off . Have you had same problem ?
I have not had a single clamp come loose or fall off.
Is it rainproof for washing street and whats the weight?
Did you have any issues with this cover fitting correctly? I purchased an Xtang toolbox model for mine & it doesn't fit in the rear. Too short & doesn't seal up to the tailgate.
Mine fits perfect. All 3 I've owned and the 2 that I helped friends install
Do you have a 20" toolbox?
Is the cover still watertight with the toolbox, so we can haul luggage in wet weather?
Fail the knife test. No protection
Hey there, great video and beautiful truck. I was wondering if those covers leak where it meets the tool box. I have a hard flip top and it has started leaking even in the seams.
Dear
Can I find cover fits with 27-1/2 in.
WEATHER GUARD Model 117-52-02 Saddle Box, Aluminum, Full Extra Wide, 15.3 cu ft
My truck is 2011 F350 long bed 8" foot singl rear wheel.
Would the fold-a-cover G4 elite work, with a fifth wheel?
The downside is, you wouldn't have the toolbox up front.
Good video. What part of South TX are you in? Is there any color fading on the cover due to the incredibly hot sun?
How does the velcro hold up, I'm worried it won't stick after a while.
Toolbox pulling a 5th wheel?? I own a 2017 F350 like the one in the video, I can't find a clear cut answer to if there are any issues with an above bed rail cross bed tool while pulling a 5th wheel. I would like to have the same set up you have in this video and I pull a 2017 Montana High Country 5th wheel. I am wondering about clearance in sharp turns. Thank you!
You forgot to mention; A pocket knife will ruin your day and a replacement canvas is not available.
I got the back flip. Works perfect with my 5er set up. Safe and secure. You can cut right through that roll up cover.
I've always had the hard covers. How well does this soft cover keep water out of the bed of the truck?
Dirt00racer: it keeps my bed 99.9% dry. I love that aspect of it.
When it does leak it just leaks along the edge
Thank U for asking this question. It's the whole reason I was reading the comments.
Subbed Great channel you deserve more subs alot more
GAMERMIKE52: thank you!
Question: How much weight can that cover Take? ... I live in Canada ... So SNOW is a big part of our lives ... 😆😆😆
Thanks for the video. I was wondering how it holds up if you go through car washes?
I heard from a body shop that some of these bed cover had cut threw the aluminum bed. Just wondering if you heard of anything like that
Scott Barr take a look at Bak industries I have their Revolver X2 roll up with 50 gal in bed tank works great.
Where is that tiny bit of water believed to be entering the bed? Tested hrough a complete downpour yet? Do think it could survive the weight of an overnight snow storm where a foot or more could accumulate?
IBTJC 4Life: I believe it would as many others have commented on its resistance to snow and ice
Obviously you can't enter a modern car wash with a dually but how do you think the cover would perform under the pressure of the wash Blowers?
Michael Kelly: held up perfectly for 4 years on my 2011 F250
Michael Kelly I had this cover on my 2015 F250 and took it threw car washes with the blowers all the time and had no issue, they are really durable.
J Peach yes Peach I have several new trucks and that's why I bring them through the wash.
Michael Kelly my truxedo low pro on my 09 f150 has been through at least 50 in the past 2 years and I still haven't needed to tighten it yet
Nic Sutton .Thanks Nic!
Is it completely watertight
Love your videos! We bought the same truck you bought. Can you tell me the model # of your Weather guard tool box and can you tell me how high it rides above the bed rails? We only have 7 inches of clearance from the bed rail to the underside of the 5th wheel while in a 90 degree angle. Just looked at some toolboxes but the height above rails was 7", so would not work. Brand new to the big truck and big RV world as we traded an F150 and a tow behind travel trailer!
Good vid
Do you have any knowledge of the acces lite ryder vs the vanish pr classic , any specific one to avoid or be carefull with since on their site, they all seem to have very similar descriptions
Great video and thank you for all the excellent information! I have a 2015 Ram 3500 longbed dually. Do not need the toolbox version, which would you suggest? And thank you.
Scott Barr: They have a none toolbox version as well. It really depends on if you are leaning towards a hard or soft cover. Im not going back to hard covers, they leaked too much for me.
I live in Central Florida so need the sun protection as you do. I hope to add a 100 gallon aux diesel tank in the bed so want soft cover.
Great review. What is the piece you have installed in your trailer hitch? Looks great.
Does the cover flap in the wind or balloon at all as you're going down the highway (like most soft covers do)?
Bradley Morris: its moves a little in the center with wind but absolutely does not flap or appear to bexome unstable at all.
You probably have said before. What kind of tool box is that and you must like it since you kept it.
NonRev: Weather Guard....and I love it!
i just received my access toolbox cover. still shopping for the right tool box. I have looked at the weatherguard, but is the bottom on that really strong? the one in the store seem to flex more than I thought it would. Is that the Part Number: 127-5-02?
