Does it lower the rear end a little due to heavyweight of the cover? MPG might be down a little??

No issue with weight or MPGs with it. We get 18 /19 city, 21 hwy

It came with a “putty” to close those gaps but did not need weatherstrip. It’s been a year and that putty needs to be replaced bc it melted
@Minjoeman9 ай бұрын
From what I can tell. To remove the cover you need to undo the center clamps fold it up and your done? How heavy is it with all three panels together for removal?
@JPTrek8 ай бұрын
You need to open it up all the way then remove the struts then you can unhinge the panels. The center clamps are the last to come off. We have not taken it off all together but the front and rear panels are around 50 lbs each. Their site says 125 lbs total.

Besides the awesome looks, this is not practical for everyday purpose specially if you want to utilize the entire space of the trunk. Imagine having to loosen the bolts and taking the panels apart every time you have to haul something taller and larger in your truck. Gets old real fast
@JPTrek8 ай бұрын
This is a really good point. When we get 6+ feet of wood from home depot or something longer we just have the rear cover open. Not going on the highway or anything, just city roads less than 50mph. Can't see anything from the rear mirror at that point though...

Many of us have deck systems anyway. Many of us don’t use out trucks for work. I don’t haul furniture. I off-road, hunt, and camp. These covers are AWESOME!!! But I stack plywood and 2x4s on top. Also bags of mulch or basically anything and just ratchet strap down.

bump- I'd like to know this as well. Also, does the weather strip on bottom come with or did you do that separate? I see a seal that you can buy but looks like it's just extra and not the whole way around.
@JPTrek Жыл бұрын
You have to play with how much you tighten it down in order to allow the tailgate to still fall automatically. It can definitely be too tight so the tailgate just stays up, but we haven’t seen any issues in terms of seal with it only tight enough to allow it to still drop automatically. The weather stripping came with the kit. There’s an additional weather stripping piece that also came with but we weren’t exactly sure where that was supposed to go or if it was extra

There are as many types of mud as there are different kinds of snow. It ranges from just watery sand and dirt, to wet, sloppy dirt and clay, to wet clay, aka gumbo mud or slick clay. Clay just binds to the tires and acts as a lubricant. As good as the Wildpeaks are in snow, rain, and light mud, it can't handle the slick, gooey clay mud here. Just turns the tires into glazed donuts. Probably needed mud terrains by this point, or aggressive hybrids atnthe very least.

I have mine coming in next week along with some Yakima rails. A little nervous about drilling into the cover, but Yakima said that there's markers underneath the cover that will guide in drilling, but nothing is mentioned on Diamondbacks website. Can you take a look underneath and let me know? It should be dots with a "Y" near them.

Pat is 6’. No lift on the Tundra right now, but Jill is 5’ and can close front cover easily since the lock is closer to the side of the bed but she needs to step on the back bumper to reach the lock on the back cover. At 5’8” I don’t think you’ll have any issues! Super smooth open and closing too.
