in the market for a tonneau cover for a 2010 stx 6.5 bed. If you have the same setup i would like to see some pictures so i can get an idea. By the way i'm not buying it, it's a birthday gift from the fiance. I know, i'm pretty damn lucky she gives me gifts i actually want and will use. I think it's because she misses her F150!

I'm leaning towards a roll up so i don't have to remove it when i need to haul something big.

 

Can't help you with pics, but take a look at Truxedo's Low Pro QT. I've been very pleased with the one on my 07.

 

I have an Extang Revolution (roll-up) on mine. There are pictures in my album.

 

Have you had any issues with it during downpours of rain? I was lookin at the revolution and pretty much have my mind set on it but figured i would ask around first.

 

The seal at the tailgate isn't water tight. The bed gets wet, but only 3-4" from the tailgate. The front and sides seal very well.

 

thanks, now all i have to do is get the ball rolling on the fiance ordering it!

 

I got the Access tonneau from Ziebart. Less than $400, looks great and can be opened and closed by one person. Has heavy-duty velcro on the sides and a decent seal at the tailgate. Same as above posts though, a couple inches at the end of the bed gets wet with heavy, blowing rain. I'll post pics if I get a chance.

 

Just to be clear: Access Cover is not a Ziebart product and you can buy it almost any truck accessory shop. The Access Loredo is the most popular and they are very good covers.

 

Sorry, no pics but I have the Xtang Solid Fold cover on my '10 F-150. Easy for one person to fold or remove. Look at Xtang website.

 

The Extang Full Tilt is an awesome design that works very well. I have one on my F250.

 

Access is made in Jamestown ND and a very good bang for the buck!!!

 

You might check out www.rollnlock.com ; very good product; maybe a little pricey. I put it on my King Ranch and find it to be very functional and easy to deal with.

 

RollNLock is decent cover. Things to know about RollNLock:

1. It's vinyl laminated aluminum. They vinyl will fade if you don't keep an conditioner on it.
2. There is a tailgate piece that requires drilling into the tailgate.
3. It will not work well if you have a spray on bedliner that is applied over the rails.

 

Yep, those are all good things to keep in mind. They actually provide a conditioner for that liner. Not sure if the other covers suffer from the same problem. The tailgate piece is connected to the tailgate and the cover latches into that piece along with the lock. I can understand that if one applies the spray over the rails that the cover would leak. I went with the rubber liner that just covers the bottom of the bed. They were up front with all that before I ordered the cover. IMO, if one follows those guidelines, the result is a cover that fits tight, works with ease, and does not leak water into the bed. What I like most about it is that one person can easily roll it out and in from the back of the truck because it is all spring loaded and it has stops along the rails so one can leave it rolled out any distance from the cab. No having to walk along the sides of the truck hand rolling or flipping panels and tying it off at the cab. It also has a fence that can be stopped at any point so no need to have to tie things off with bungie chords any longer. As much as I use my truck, I'm not interested in a cover that adds work to what I'm doing.
Also, with this type of system, it probably is not a good idea to haul dirt and/or gravel because of the rail system. Seems like there are trade-offs no matter what one buys and this one is no different.

This is a much more expensive item than the Accent Lorado but it does more also.

 

I have the Ford hard folding cover.......folds back and you only lose maybe 4-6 inches at the window. Bakflip makes this cover for Ford and sells a similar one under their own name....Seal is pretty good weather wise
