Any experiences to share about Extang Tonneau Covers?
Just ordered the Extang Trifecta Toolbox 2.0 hard folding cover from RealTruck over the weekend. I don't know why it never occurred to me before that *somebody* must make a cover that would work with a cross-bed toolbox. Could be, I'm just dumb.
Wondering if anyone has one of these?
Main reason for getting one is to have some out-of-the-weather storage during camping. Secondary related goal being security through obscurity. If I have my generator in the bed today it's right there for everyone to see. With a cover, somebody needs to open something to see what's in there.
Got what seems to be a decent deal on it, just hoping that it doesn't end up being junk and need to be returned.
Any thoughts? Experiences?

Had the soft tri fold on my last 2 trucks- They were fine for what they are. I had considered the hard cover but after a co workers experience of his filling up with water I disregarded it. I don't dig the construction of the hard cover-its rigid foam sandwiched with plastic panels. Water can get inside of the panel.
I ended up stepping up to a Diamondback Switchback due to hauling pricey items for my work.

I had a soft Extang cover on my old Chevy about 20 years ago. Great product and best of all they stand behind it. i broke a corner piece off the aluminum frame on my Extang tonneau. It was like 10 years out of warranty. I called to buy a replacement and they sent me one, no charge.

We had an extang trifold on our 150 for 2-3 years and it was good. Watertight as long as you adjusted it and kept it tight. I wanted what you're getting but it didn't fit the truck box. Ended up going to a diamondback tri fold and won't go back. The diamondback is a beast.
