Tonneau Cover Question

zoostation · #1 (**permalink**) 12-03-2003, 10:59 AM

Recently bought a 2001 Ranger XLT 4.0 step side. I'm looking to personalize the vehicle a bit and my first step is a nice Tonneau cover. I looked at the Sport Master (slant side) and it looks like a nice choice at about $200.00 (not crazy about the snap buttons, but I guess I can live with them).

My question is: Is SportMaster a good name and is $200 too much for this product?

Thanks in advance.

200 i decent price. but I do not suggest the snaps, I got one about 18 months ago, now all the snaps are breaking or coming out....about 10 of them are messed up now. I will soon be getting a hard cover when I can afford such.

I have a 97 F150 I went with a vinal cover for about a year was never realy happy with it, Much happier when I got a hard cover, paid $1100 can for a Lowrider cover. Save up for hard cover you will be much happier.

Hi,

I use a Pace Edward tonneau cover. It's a roll on cover. I also have seen such tonneau covers with electric motors, but do we realy need it?

I have a snap style cover and it is pretty good. It came with the truck and I'm guessing it's about 5 years old. My biggest gripe is that when it is cold out (happens often here) I need to use a hair dryer to warm the cover so it will stretch enough to snap on. $200 is a fair price for a snap style cover.

I think I'm going to go with the Access cover. No snaps. All one piece. Rolls up. Looks great.

Save your pennies and check out a Retrax at rolltopcover.com
Its the best and most durable cover I could find. The great thing about them is there are no springs or pull straps to worry about.
Check them out.
