I’ve had mine since 2006 installed on my 2005 F350. Best thing I ever bought for my pickup. Mines the HD version and I had it Linexed 4 years ago. Hauls my ATV’s with no problem and let’s me pull my 35’ travel trailer at the same time. I don’t even need to disconnect to load and unload the ATV’s.
+DiamondBack Covers are incredibly well built and have improved functionally and durability of tonneau covers overall. Plus, you look like a boss when you roll by with the all black tundra and cover. Nice vid!
Thanks for a great video on this. You answered so many questions I had with the install on the Tundra. Now I know you can still have the rail system and the tool box looks great as well. Thanks again!
The worry I had was if the rail system had to come out of the bed and if you can mount some type of tool box up front. Exactly what you showed on both! So do you haul an atv with it? I have a sport quad and then I have a two person extra long 4 x 4 quad. They are telling me I can't put the 4 x 4 up top because it is too long for the 5'5" bed. The funny thing is, I currently have a 2004 Titan, but I will ordering my 2018 Tundra soon, so I am doing all my homework first.
Good review on the SE model,I would love it on my Tacoma, I have a POS cover by lift a cover that's falling apart and waiting for "funds from Santa" to get a DB.
Thanks for the review. Looking to replace my soft trifold cover with something with more security. Been lucky so far. This would be a good investment since I'm already on my 2nd cover.
can you show a video of you removing it with those clamps and reinstalling? about how long does it take you to take it off? How involved or complicated is it to reinstall?
Sorry I thought I responded to this if not someone else asked it. But no you cannot, the middle piece of the cover is in the way which can't be moved. If you have a larger truck bed, you may be able to.
@@aflexxxxx All you need is a "AMP Research 74605-01A BedXTender HD Quick Latch Bracket Kit (for use with Tonneau Covers and Shells)". Make sure it fits your bed extender before ordering... Once installed, you can latch or unlatch the extender in any position.
You find the SE was adequate? I keep going back and forth between the SE and HD. Also, noticed you got the deeper version of the tool box. Does it obstruct the bed underneath much? I'm going back and forth between the deep 13 inch tool box like you and the 8 inch. Interested in your thoughts now that you've had it for a bit.
Yes the SE is more then adequate for me. My recommendation is if you plan on carrying heavy loads on-top of the cover then I would go with HD, otherwise SE is MORE then enough IMO. I stand on it, lay on it, I put things on top temporarily while I'm moving stuff around in the bed and I put my small dog on it often to keep track of him while I'm doing other things, usually while getting ready to go boating. Honestly the toolbox is the perfect size for me. Obviously depending on what you are going to carry in there. I still have space in mine for a few things and I have everything I may need at anytime for my adventures including boating, off roading, etc. With that said, I highly suggest going with the larger toolbox. I would buy it again. It has not got in the way for me in anyway because I use a bed extender anyway to hold my stuff from sliding under the toolbox. I almost never carry longer objects where it would get in the way. It all comes down to what you intend to use the toolbox and bed of your truck for. The setup fits me perfect and I'd buy both all over again. Hope this helps.
Nice video! Do you think I'd be able to use the deck rail Toyota bed divider with the diamondback cover ? I know that because of the center crossmember, I wouldn't be able to slide it up and down the whole bed. BUT, I see that you have a bed extender...I'm assuming for like groceries and stuff. Do you think I would be able to have my Toyota bed divider installed in the rail while having the DB cover as well?
I believe you may be able to. The thing is the cover locks into the rail system so you won't be able to move the bed divider while the cover is down. If the cover is up then you should be able to slide it back but only about halfway since the bed cover attaches in the middle of the bed.
Thanks for the post sir. I have a tundra too amd been looking really hard on this. Did you install it yourself? What do you think of the headache racks? I dont know if im too impressed/sold with the models they offer with this.
Thanks for making the video. Great work. How secure is it? As in if someone tries to break into it. I had my tool box broken into twice now. Once with a crowbar. Looking to buy this one? Some posted a review say5he picked the lock with a paperclip in no time on their website.
Wow that really sucks. I haven't had any issues but if I were to take a guess those would never happen to this cover. I trust this cover to be very very secure. The cover is secured by 2 thick steel bars that lock into the bed frame rails that Toyota has on some trucks from the factory. One of the main things I looked for while purchasing a cover was security and I trust this cover to provide that and have had no issues. I'm not sure about picking the lock.
Awesome! I still love my Diamondback cover, great choice! The bedrug i purchased from autoanything. Theres a few different styles. Here is a link of the one i purchased. www.autoanything.com/cargo-liners/61A3742A0A0.aspx
Great video! Thanks for doing. Your bed extender is interesting! Can you flip it over with the back panel lifted in normal position? Or do you need to remove it? Or do you need to remove the center panel also? I was not considering the extender, but that would be excellent for fueling 20 l fuel jerry cans if it flipped easily.
You cannot flip the bed extender unless you remove the cover. I just push mine in without being attached, it works the same. If I need it attached on the outside I'm able to do that without removing the cover. However your unable to flip from inside to outside and vice versa.
Try this, "AMP Research 74605-01A BedXTender HD Quick Latch Bracket Kit (for use with Tonneau Covers and Shells)". It can be latched and unlatched in any position.
Thank you much! I do not believe there was a size. Its a fit according to your truck bed size and model. Your only able to pick the 2 types of covers and colors I believe, SD and HD, black or chrome finish.
@@meltdownblitz How do you do a review on a cover and and you don't know if its an SE or an SD? Any by the way when you have a pick up its a Tailgate not a trunk. Nice cover.
Between this and the renegade and the roll n lock aluminum a or e series. I think probably this or the renegade would be most difficult to break into vs the roll n lock aluminum. Btw how do you like that bed extender? Is it plastic or metal? Does it bounce around or make noise?
No this is not possible. The cover is just barely in the way. To fix this issue I have put the bed extender in the bed up against the wheel wells. If I need it I’ll pull it out and attach it to the truck.
@@MrAllenl24 the bed extender will not clear the cover when flipping it out. I have to manually pull the bed extender out and put it back after I'm done using it.
I went with the 13. I suggest that one its a good size but depending on your needs you may not want a toolbox taking that much of the height of your bed. Not much you can fit under it if you hall long items often.
@@meltdownblitz That actually sounds like the perfect size! I appreciate it. I figure if I'm planning on hauling anything I'll just remove the cover entirely. Did you buy full retail from the Diamondback website? I am trying to find some kind of deal, but it doesn't seem like they ever have any sales.
I'm not sure the smooth wasn't out when I bought mine. If I were to buy again I'd probably go for smooth since its more modern. The diamond is more truck looking IMO
@@meltdownblitz Thanks for the input. You echo my main "pro" for the smooth being that it looks a little less aggressive which probably fits the look of this truck better. I ordered the smooth but when the order came today its the non-smooth. Lol I'm looking for an excuse to keep it an not have to wait for the exchange
No I haven’t made any changes since video, it still remains the same as in the video. I have however seen people putting racks, looks like they just drill it into the cover. Maybe if you contact diamondback they have more info.
Looking at the side view of your cover, it's a bit loose. You need to tighten the compression on both of the opening ends (the part where the locking arms go through). It will help to break in the seals and then eventually the latch will close like a charm (and it'll be totally waterproof).
Ryan R yep, just snug it up and make it all even. Then don't open it much for at least a week or two for it to compress. Also make sure you check to make sure your c clamps are still tight. After mine broke in, the clamps were loosened and the cover actually moved half an inch forward and was touching ny rear window. Ever since i re-tightened, I've had no issue,
Yes you are. Each panel detaches individually in 5 secs. Only the center panel is attached to the bed via 2 bolts on both sides for a total of 4 bolts and the cover is off. Can be done in 2 mins with an impact. The harder part is reinstalling. I would suggest marking the bed somehow so you know where the bolts go back when you want to reinstall so that everything lines up just as you first did when you set it up.
That thing is worth it's weight in gold now with all that's going on ,keeping my tools safe is worth the extra 600 bucks more then one of those crappie 1200 dollar aluminum plated deals .
Tailgate, not "trunk". ( I guess I was the only one who kept cringing when he said that again and again. LOL ) Other than that, nice quick overview. Cheers.
Hi Ryan, does your tailgate extended clear the opening of the rear hatch when open or do you have to remove the center section to open the tailgate extender? Thank you
I'm not sure if I'm following you correctly, however I think your asking if I have to remove the cover to use the bed extender. So I would but I don't attach it to the attachment points prior to putting it inside the bed of my truck because it's unable to flip toward the inside of the bed because of the middle of the cover gets in the way. So I just slide the bed extender inside up against the wheel wells and when I need it I slide it outside then attach it to the attachment points for using. Hope that makes sense.
Thought I responded to this, sorry about that. So no it can't be flipped out, it hits the diamondback cover. To get around this i just put my bedextender in not attached to the truck and when i need the bed extender or need to use the bed of my truck, I'll just pull it out and attach it. This solution has worked for me without issue.
No it does not clear. So what I do is leave the bed extender detached and slide it in there up against the wheel wells and it won't go anywhere. It will keep your items from sliding toward the front of the bed toward the cab. And when you need to use it as a bed extender you just pull it out and attach it, however you do have to raise the cover in order to get it in at 45 degrees for it to lock.
Hey thanks for the video. Do you know the measurement of the tallest clearance in the bed? I have a cooler i bring with me camping that needs to fit. It looks like behind the locking bars and first support stud, in the rear of the bed, that the cover is above the bed rails and provides 1-3 inches of additional clearance. Do you know what the total height clearance is?
I just measured it and it's approx 22 1/2 inches from the bed to the lower part of the cover right in the center of the cover. A cooler however may not fit as you can see in the video the locking bars come down at an angle so depending how wide or large the cooler is, it may not fit. Hope that helps.
The best vehicle anti theft device on the market. I dont remember exactly but i think they have sold over 40 million unit. None have been defeated. I was one of the 4o mil. Some knuckle head tried to steal my f350 5x in the last year. I had to fix the door, key fob and electrical.. but they never got the truck.
I'm not sure what your asking exactly but I will say it covers all of above the bed rails so if it's able to be mounted on top of the cover that's possible. Your able to drill through the cover to add accessories. If it attaches to the bed of the truck or bed rails in anyway I'm going to say it won't work. Hope that helps.

@@---tx9xx Just in my truck I drilled the bed extender mounting brackets into truck near the end of the bed.

Awesome 😎
Thanks for sharing the video. Always great to see it in action. How has it been with waterproof / water resistant? Have you had any leaking?
Not at all, totally waterproof for me. Never had a drop of water in there yet.

Can you take only the front off like you can the rear?
Front of the cover? Yes both panels can come off the same way.
@@meltdownblitz thank you! I only ask so I can still fly my bed mounted flag at times, thank you
Great video, Ryan. I have an HD on my truck. Did you purposely mount the safety catch upside down?
Upside down?
It looks correct to me.
I doubt he did it on purpose. I don’t understand why people that put rugs in their bed don’t just get an suv?
Looking at the side view of your cover, it's a bit loose. You need to tighten the compression on both of the opening ends (the part where the locking arms go through). It will help to break in the seals and then eventually the latch will close like a charm (and it'll be totally waterproof).
Ryan R yep, just snug it up and make it all even. Then don't open it much for at least a week or two for it to compress. Also make sure you check to make sure your c clamps are still tight. After mine broke in, the clamps were loosened and the cover actually moved half an inch forward and was touching ny rear window. Ever since i re-tightened, I've had no issue,
How tall are you. Is it easy to access the tool box
I'm 6 feet tall. To access the inside you have to stand on the step.
How do you like the crossbin 13? Likes/dislikes?
Nothing that comes to mind. Its large enough, so far also durable. Exactly the setup I was looking for.
I've been told by someone that owns one of these covers that his leaks. Does yours leak when it rains?
Mine does not leak. Even when I've washed my truck I haven't had a single drop of water get into the bed.
@@meltdownblitz i assume you installed it yourself?
Yes I sure did. It's pretty easy.
What brand is the carpet kit ?
It's called bedrug
Are you able to remove/install the cover yourself?
Yes you are. Each panel detaches individually in 5 secs. Only the center panel is attached to the bed via 2 bolts on both sides for a total of 4 bolts and the cover is off. Can be done in 2 mins with an impact. The harder part is reinstalling. I would suggest marking the bed somehow so you know where the bolts go back when you want to reinstall so that everything lines up just as you first did when you set it up.
That thing is worth it's weight in gold now with all that's going on ,keeping my tools safe is worth the extra 600 bucks more then one of those crappie 1200 dollar aluminum plated deals .
How heavy is the bed cover ?
I've never actually weighed it however per the diamondback website it says max panel weight is 35 lbs.
Tailgate, not "trunk". ( I guess I was the only one who kept cringing when he said that again and again. LOL ) Other than that, nice quick overview. Cheers.
Is it waterproof
Yes it has been 100% waterproof for me. I have yet to have a drop of water in the bed of my truck.
How tall does it sit off the bed
Just measured it for you. It’s about 22 1/2 inches from the bottom of the bed to the bottom of the cover.
What size bed for few max?

How do you get stuff out of the middle of that tool box. Seems like quite a reach on a full size truck.
It's actually quite easy. I can reach about one half of the tool box on each side of the truck. I also am 6'1 and have long arms, I'm sure that helps😆
Thank you for the quick reply and happy thanksgiving.
Same to you!
If someone used a pipe wrench to break the locking handle, would it make the entire unit vulnerable to theft?
Technically.. if they had a pipe wrench they could break into the vehicle itslef and steal the whole unit. Get a ravelco and you wont worry about it.
Landon Ryan what is a Ravelco?
The best vehicle anti theft device on the market. I dont remember exactly but i think they have sold over 40 million unit. None have been defeated. I was one of the 4o mil.

I'm not sure what your asking exactly but I will say it covers all of above the bed rails so if it's able to be mounted on top of the cover that's possible. Your able to drill through the cover to add accessories. If it attaches to the bed of the truck or bed rails in anyway I'm going to say it won't work. Hope that helps.
Wassup with the diamond plate?You planning
to walk on it
No comes only in diamond plate but yes I walk on it often, Still holding up strong.
