Truck bed covers come in all different shapes, sizes, qualities, and have different functionality. I've loved the Diamondback HD Cover for years for a lot of the reasons I show in this video. There is a new player in the market, Diamondback's Switchback cover - which functions more like a standard trifold tonneau cover. I decided I'll give it a go and see how it works for how I typically use my Tundra. In this video I just show the install and breeze through some features, in case it looks like a cover that might work out well for you!

Really good improvement on the original design if you need a little more bed space. Been using the normal 2 panel Diamondback on my Tacoma for a few years now and it's been great. No water issues since I added a little extra weather sealing.

I love my diamondback hd but when you spend $2200 I would like to see stainless steel washers on all points that come in contact with the aluminum so I don’t have to change them all out. I ordered 100 stainless washers for $10 from Amazon I would pay the extra couple of dollars from diamondback to have it from the factory.

I have not considered Diamondback in the past but all that changed with the Switchback cover unfortunately I had a small mishap so I put their customer service to the test I’m happy to report that DB customer service is second to none and my problem was resolved within an hour after I emailed them. If I buy another truck I’ll buy another DB. Installing the Switchback would be easier with 2 people but I did by myself, installation is straightforward like any trifold tonneau covers definitely worth the price tag no leaking issues and first class customer service

Nice review - I have a Tacoma - never had a cover...I ordered a switchback yesterday. I own a horse farm and frequently use my bed to haul things I do not want exposed to the elements...this will be nice for when it is raining. I've never been a fan of covers as they all seemed to look cheap and fade...hopefully this will be nice. I'll probably leave it folded up a lot. The folks on the phone - when ordering - were very helpful. They did say it will be about 3-4 weeks before I get it as they have a backorder now. They also gave me a 10% Military Discount (retired), that was nice.

I am so pissed I didn’t ask about something coming out. Just got a Retrax pro xr . I miss the diamond back. Not a trifold fan, but I would do a diamond back any day of the week. Thank you for reviewing. If I ever need to be replace I will be keeping an out for your follow ups. Your the reason I got my diamond back on my last truck. Have a F350 drw with 8 foot bed and good neck . diamond back would have been my preference if I could have.

@YoYo-gi1uu HD & SE are the same design, only change is the weight capacity. I feel that the panel clamping design of switchback may not be as strong compared to the HD & SE. I really like my HD and it’s a solid product, with the middle section that’s securely fastened down I think it adds to stability and security. (My personal opinion and interpretation of the new product)

Can you get all the tie down cleats pre-installed around all four sides of this Switchback, and still be able to fold flat the rear two sections onto the third, and have them secured while driving, without the tie down cleats interfering in any way? I'm leaning towards the HD, but considering the Switchback. Thanks. And once again, a useful review. Good job! On a side note, I'll likely be buying an F150 Platinum in 2024, which I'll put the cover on, though I'm still trying to decide whether to get the 5.5' or 6.5' bed. Leaning toward the 5.5' bed, though I imagine I might be able to put a tent directly on top of the cover over the 6.5' bed, could be an interesting option instead of putting the tent up nearby on the ground. Then i wouldn't have to have a hard pop up mounted on a rack on top of the cover to interfere with easy access to the inside of the bed, easy and quick to put up and take down a normal tent. Even with the HD and those protrusions of the locks and hinges sticking up, lay down say a 3" thick, maybe 4" thick, piece of dense foam inside the tent and probably wouldn't even feel those while sleeping. Mmmm. And lastly, now that you've used the Switchback for a while, how do you think it compares to the HD?
