I have had many over the years..This is the best so far...It does have some draw backs....takes up some space and it is not the kind of product you want to drag or lean stuff on.

I have had mine on my truck since I purchased it, about 7 months ago, I like it alot. Only complaint, it rattles going donw the highway at speed. You can only hear it if the back window is open.

Just put a retrax and bed rug in my 4x4. Mine is quiet and it looks good. Not sure how much security it gives but the quality is good and fit was perfect.

I was quoted $889 for my '02 scab (6.5' bed). Why do all these companies want to keep their prices a secret?

I had one on my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. It worked great and looked great for the 3 years that I had my truck. Not completely watertight, though you can purchase a gate seal for your tailgate. It comes in a gloss black and keeps its shine very well. I have just ordered another one for my new F250. I ordered both from the Dave's Tonneau Covers website (check the address on Google). They had the best price that I found and were very helpful on the phone with questions I had about various covers when I made my first order. They are in Colorado and I am in So. Calif. but shipping was quick and safe and was included in the purchase price. It was cheaper to buy it online from them and have it shipped versus buying it from a local vendor (he wouldn't match my online price quotes) and I would've paid sales tax here.

I have had two Retrax covers on my last two trucks. I think they are the best product out there, especially compared to other roll-top covers. It looks good, fits well and increases gas mileage. It is also pretty easy to take off when you need the whole box or do not want to damage the front container with rocks/wood etc.
