I need to get a bed cover for my 04 Screw and I've narrowed it down to the following:

1. Extang Rt
2. Access Lorado
3. Truxedo Lo pro

The low profile look is extremely important to me, but so is durability and ease of use. I don't have a store close by where I can actually go and compare these in person and I will be ordering on line. So I would appreciate any and all opinions on the above by current owners.

Thanks.

 

I have a Truxedo Lo Pro on my 04 FX4 Scab...I couldn't be happier with my choice.

 

Here at Shur-Co we manufacture the Truxedo Lo Profile and I have one on my own pickup. Durability was important to me also. You can check out a durability video on our website. Go to truxedo.com and click on Gallery then Durability Video. You can see why we can offer a lifetime warranty on that cover!

 

It is true the Truxedo Lo Pro is a great cover. But I have always had alot of luck with the Access Covers on my truck. And there Access' warranty is just unbelievable. We sell all three of those covers at Realtruck.com so whatever cover you do decide on Give me a call at 877-216-5446 ext 107. And I will save you additional 5% over any discount we already have available.

 

I have an access cover on my truck, and i have been very happy! The access cover is great to open and close, even when the outside temp is below freezing. The extang cover was impossable to close below 45 dregees

 

I have an Extang on mine and only a couple times a month the bows come out of place. lol

 

I have a regular Extang on mine. As far as durability it is holding up very well, im happy with it!

 

Is it true that the Extang's lock can be unlocked by going under the velcro, where with the Access and the truxedo this is not possible..?

Also looks like the Access has 4 clamps on a side for the rails compared to the Truxedo's 3 and the Access has 2 locks instead of one?

 

For the Truxedo cover you do need to open your tailgate before you can open the cover, so if you have a locking tailgate your cargo is going to be even more secure. The Truxedo cover does have 3 clamps (on each side) and one lock which is more than enough to keep you cover closed and secure. With only one lock it also makes it easier to open when you want to roll it up. Another nice feature of the Truxedo Lo Profile is the automatic tension control. The cover will expand and contract with the temperature changes. The automatic tension control will keep your cover tight when it does that.

 

Access Lorado. I love mine. Secures with 4 clamps on each side, roll sup tight and out of the way. No leaks. Great cover!
