DiamondBack HD

Picked the truck up on Thursday last week. First Mod. I ordered direct from Diamondback. They were very easy to deal with. Order to delivery was 30 days as promised.
I think it's the best tonneau on the market for security and looks sharp too!

Dang, that thing has some serious tie down cleats. Looks really stout too. My question is if you were to pull a gooseneck or fifth wheel would the cover have to go? On another note, that's a nice looking rig you have there.

You'll have to take the panels off for a fifth or a goose. But they are light enough to do by yourself so I would just put them in the trailer and then I have it when I get to my destination.

That Diamond Back is the toughest cover out there but it is restrictive if you need access to an open bed very often. I have a buddy who has one on his Tundra and it really looks good. He always said he was going to put an ATV on the top but he never has feeling certain he would die one time doing it.

Why all the cleats? Looks like a Sail Boat in the back. Those are Sailboat cleats you know. I like the rest of it. Can you order it without the cleats?

It has a lot of cleats because those covers are rated at 2 or 3,000 pounds load capacity on top of it. People park all sorts of atv or cargo on them.

A atv on top of there that high would be a little risky not to mention trying to load it that high. I do like the looks and the fact that it would be very solid.

It has been designed to hold ATV but a lot of people use them to put a load of lumber or drywall. No more trailers for me. Load on top and tools in the bed. The main reason I bought it is because of security. I can keep my tools in the truck all the time and not have to worry about theft. Here are some pictures from their website. And yes you can get it with out the cleats
