Extang TriFecta

I really like this cover and it looks very easy to install/use. Anyone have this on their current/past truck??? Any good/bad points? Thanks

I have the tri-fecta and love it. Installed it in less than 10 minutes and is very easy to take on and off in case you need all your bed space. The ONLY thing I don't like is when you fold it up it tends to stretch at the outside seam. You can see it when you fold it back down. Not that big of a deal though. Sorry no pics yet.

is there any drilling involved? And is the "stretching" noticeable on the cover? Does it cause creases? They say they back it up with a lifetime warranty

No drilling involved. There are built in thredded clamps in the front and spring loaded clamps in the back for easy opening. The stretching only occurs at the sides over the bed rail where it folds. It is really hardly noticable and will eventually go away once the cover is in it's closed position for a few hours. I would not let that discourage you from purchasing. I can get some pics tomorrow if you like.

Thank you.


P.S. Will it work even if I have the OEM bed rails? I heard bed rails get in the way for tonneau covers

the tonneau looks awesome...My only concern is how its installed. So those "mounting brackets" need to go under the bed rail? Would that not mess up the bed rails? It looks like its tucked underneath the bed rails.. I am about to order it soon! its 285$ plus shipping where i found it

It does clip under the rail, but it won't damage anything unless you torque it too much. You will know when it's tight. BTW that is a pretty good price.
