Tonneau Covers

Looking at the Access Agri roll up covers and the Lund Genesis Roll up Cover; of the two I really dont see much difference other than more personal preferences towards the Agri Covers. Both have lifetime warranties too.

Would I be better of with one or the other or are they both pretty equal?

I was just about to post this same topic. I'm looking to buy the Lund Genesis Roll up Cover but wanted to get other people's advice first and the pro's and con's of a soft cover.

If I was buying a soft cover it would definitely be the roll up kind. I don't think you can go wrong with either. Are they the same money?

I had an Extang that was very durable - I would buy from them again.

I have the access soft cover. It works great, and looks good! I was able to get it sized to work with my toolbox, so that was a big plus.

Access End of story. I just took a truxcedo LoPro off my Superduty. In favor of another Toolbox Edition.

Truxedo LoPro- It sagged in the middle, the velcro sides were extremely tight while It would hold gallons of water in the middle. The front bar, was angled up when I tightened it, flipping out the dirt seal. I can't believe the movement the front bar had, no wonder it has springs to keep it only so tight. With the front bar able to tilt alot, it put a bind on the spring cylinder which didn't allow the spring to compress. After having 2 different access covers the latch on the truxedo was hard to remember how to operate it. Do I push or pull? Where the Access covers have always been pull to undo.

So, I have a Truxedo LoPro. that I won't sell to anybody I like, because I've never had a cover that stretched that bad.

My brother has a Lund on his pickup, and it is what it is. A cheap cover.

I have bought two of the Access roll-ups. One for a 97 F-150 Short Bed, Sold truck then sold cover on E-bay. The other on 99 F-250 SD Long Bed.

Great cover and holds up very will. Plus they work when it is very cold outside or even in heavy wet snow. Had 8 inches of the wet stuff fall on it one night with no problems. I did remove the snow ASAP that morning, one fast corner and it was on the road and not on the cover.

I've never had a problem with my Truxedo Lopro stretching, even with three feet of wet snow on top. I've been using it for over 2 years and it works great. Keeps stuff dry underneath, and rolls up and stores nicely when pulling the fifthwheel or hauling large items.

I'm on my second Truxedo LoPro - sold the other one with my GMC Sierra and immediately bought one for my F250 when I got it last summer. I have had none of the problems you mentioned above. It has never sagged - gets rid of water well, had a foot of wet snow on it and no problems. It's very fast and easy to remove the cover for my quad to fit. The front of both of mine did not tilt up, sealed well and worked perfectly and neither of them have ever stretched. If the front of yours angled up, it was not installed correctly as I have had mine off and on several times with absolutely no problems.

I vote for the Truxedo LoPro. I have never had a cover this easy to use, remove and easy to keep clean no matter what the weather. I have used it from 95 degrees Farenheit to minus 30 Farenheit and had no problems.

My vote is for the access all the way. By far the best cover I have ever had. plus I was able to find it for about 350 shipped to my door.

I was just looking at roll up covers over the weekend. I'm not ready to buy so I don't remember the brand names, but two features that caught my eye of one of them was a lower profile velcro edge (less than 45^) and when it was rolled up it had limiters that would hold the "roll" away from the cab so it didn't beat the heck out of the paint/glass. I wanna say it was an Access but I can't be sure. In a few months when I'm ready to buy I will be going with this one.
