 Hello everyone and welcome to Rogue Gear Reviews. I'm Tom from Morton's On The Move, and today I am taking a look at the Truxedo Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover. Stick around. We have a one ton Dodge 3500 duly pickup truck that we have this tonneau cover installed on, but Truxedo makes these tonneau covers to fit almost every standard pickup. This is a relatively basic tonneau cover that just covers the bed of the truck, keeps everything waterproof, and also helps prevent theft by keeping things out of sight. It's not necessarily a safety thing, it's soft and you could cut into this if you wanted, but it keeps things out of sight and somebody would have to tear it apart to get at your stuff and your bed of your truck anyway. The tonneau cover is made out of a vinyl like material and has Velcro along the sides on the rails that it actually straps down to. The cover is relatively simple to operate. You can't access it to open it up with the tailgate closed. So if you lock the tailgate, you can't actually open the tonneau cover. Once you open the tailgate, there are two latches, one on each side that you reach up underneath and pull down on and you'll see it pop up. And if I pull on this one, it'll pop pretty good. Once it's unlatched, all you do is go ahead and start rolling the cover back. To close the tonneau cover, it's just reversing that process. You roll the tonneau cover out, get the metal bar that sits on the back into the grooves on each side and you're going to pull down. It's got a little bit of spring tension on it that you pull against and it'll click down into place and now it's latched down. On the back edge here, there is a rubber seal that when the tailgate closes, the rubber seal touches and it helps seal water from getting in around the back of the tonneau cover. Once the tonneau cover is latched down in the back, you need to go around the outsides and pull it taut on one side and place the velcro down on the velcro strip. Then you need to go to the other side and do the same thing, making sure that it's nice and taut. Now, if you don't do that, it's unlikely the tonneau cover is going to fly off or anything. It's going to help keep it a little more waterproof by keeping those edges down. But what I've noticed is if you don't properly velcro that down, when you go to open this up, because there's no tension of the velcro, the bars get loose and this can get a little bit cockeyed and then the entire thing can actually come out of the rails that the bars on the inside sit in. This tonneau cover has bars every so often that straddle the entire width of the truck to provide rigidity across the truck. These bars are completely straight so there is no curve to the tonneau cover. It's completely flat when it's closed. Once you get the tonneau cover all the way open, there are velcro straps that run around the outside of it to hold it safely in place and keep it from flying open when you're driving. You need to make sure those velcro straps are in place or the tonneau cover could roll out and flop open and flip over to the side of the truck and rip off or do damage to your vehicle or someone else's vehicle when you're on the road. Installation of this tonneau cover was really easy. These side rails are all one piece and they just sit on the bed rail of the truck and clamp underneath with big aluminum C-clamps. The tonneau cover itself is on the piece that snaps into the front edge of the truck and all of that just snaps together into these bed rails and was really easy to put together. We've had this cover installed for over three years on our truck and overall we've been really happy with it. It keeps things dry for the most part. Occasionally we'll see a little few drips in the bed of the truck if it's been raining really really hard but while we're driving I'm almost always confident to put luggage and things that I wouldn't want wet in here even if it's raining. This truck is not garage. It's been in the sun for three years and the tonneau cover has held up really well. We don't see any cracking on it and while it's really dirty it helps keep dirt out of the bed it has not been degraded by the sun that I can tell. There is a little emblem that says Truxedo on the back and that is the only thing on it that I've noted has actually faded. This bed cover comes pre-tensioned meaning that when you snap it down into place and it pulls it tight that can be adjusted by a couple screws on the springs that are on the back here but we haven't had to adjust that in three years and it still snaps nice and tight every time. As this tonneau cover does sit above the rails of the truck you do lose about an inch and a half of space over the top of your bed rails which could possibly be a concern if you're towing a fifth wheel as it'll minimize the clearance between the fifth wheel and the bed of the truck. We tow a fifth wheel all the time and while we have had a few situations where we just barely touched the bed rails in like more significant off-road situations it hasn't been a problem for general driving for us. This tonneau cover allows you to utilize the entire width of the bed of the truck except for the few spots where the C-clamps stick in maybe about an inch inch and a half into the bed of your truck. Over the three years that we've owned it we have not had any of the C-clamps come loose there's been no adjustments that we've need to make on the tonneau cover. I love the simplicity of this tonneau cover. I love that it allows you to utilize almost all of the bed of the truck and keep your stuff waterproof and out of sight. Overall for a basic tonneau cover I think this is a relatively good unit for its price. So those have been my thoughts on the soft roll-up Truxedo tonneau cover.
