In 2018 I bought a Lomax folding hard tonneau cover from Agri-Cover, Inc for my 2017 RAM 1500. I believe this is the same one Weather Tech sells. I installed it myself and it has held up pretty well. Glad to see you back with the installation/mod videos.😀

[@Cartello_Diamante92]

For that issue in the front corners being exposed to water and other elements, I had the same issue today with my install on my 2025 ram 1500. I went and purchased some weather strips and cut them to cover those corners. Used 3m double sided sticky tape 60 pound. And some weather strip foam to insulate it more. Now I don’t see sunlight from the corners of the front of the bed. Also, buy a tube extension and some small hose clamps to extend and align the tube away from the frame and any other components that you wouldn’t want water touching. Especially since I live in Rhode Island and we get a lot of snow and rain and they pour salt and sand on the roads during the winter, I didn’t want salt water draining into the body and onto other parts of the trucks parts. I have it so it drips down away from anything. I also didn’t like how the “low profile” wasn’t really low and level. It bumps above the trim of the bed about a quarter inch

[@zachsenger6042]

I have a magnum headache rack on my truck and rough country cant confirm if the cover will work with it. Been searching high and low came across your video, this helps a big seeing where the rails exactly sit. Thanks

[@Lethalgarage]

@@zachsenger6042 glad it was helpful.

[@shawnfrederick2426]

I have a 24 GMC 2500 and the rear clamp also blocks the hook on the regular bed. The foam piece provided was way to short even with the rails in place prior.

[@robertmobley7678]

After I installed mine (not exactly like yours) I drove mine thru a carwash to check for leaks! I figured a car wash would be has strong as and thunderstorm you might drive in?

[@KillaMilla0513]

I like this one the best because the last fold flips up too I bought the hard one and not the soft

[@gabelitell8632]

Should of gotten undercover armour flex bed cover -each panel on top is line x line sprayed -also nicer flatter smoother look I have 2021 Silverado crew cab

[@Lethalgarage]

Yeah, I’m happy with spending about $450 less

[@scottloy89]

Those are $1300. He did alright by saving 500 bucks.

[@ruffxm]

Any chance of commenting on the cover 5 mos later? I'm considering it but heard the rubber strips that lay over the tailgate curl up after a few months. On yours it looks like they addressed the issue by adding plastic trim? Thanks.

[@Lethalgarage]

@@ruffxm mine still look new. No issues

[@ruffxm]

@@Lethalgarage Good to know - Thanks for the reply.

[@dredgen_mire]

How much weight do you think can be supported on top of it?

[@Lethalgarage]

I don’t think I’d be able to stand on it. But probably 80-100lbs would be my guess

[@madeinhb]

These type of bed covers never have 100% completely water proof. There is always some water that gets in. Still better than wide open though.

[@johnsimms818]

The factory bed cover on my 2010 Chevy Avalanche has never leaked a drop of water !😊

[@johnsimms818]

Other rear clamp take out the bolt with that plastic head and replace it with a short standard bolt 😊

[@daimonshepherd1006]

Has anyone figured out what the hooks are for once the bed cover is flipped all the way up? It seems rough country doesn’t explain what the true purpose of the hooks are for. I am referring to the ones that currently have the white tie rap on them when the bed cover is flipped all the way up.

[@Lethalgarage]

@@daimonshepherd1006 they are a secondary hold and can be tightened to keep the bottom part of the cover from flapping back and forth.

[@billstenger9848]

A hard cover is the only way to go the look is great if you spend extra you can get ones with a weight load on the top , plus it all stays drie,I put a bed rug in my truck over the factory bed liner two things I recommend

[@baham9217]

The new mic sounds good. I don't have a truck anymore, but this episode made me think that I might be able to install a tonneau cover when I get a Silverado EV in the future. Glad to see you're expanding your informational episodes to your truck. Still looking forward to seeing the 71 out on the road!

[@sinajetta1746]

i just got a new truck too! looking for a hard bed cover!

[@grey1wa]

Matt. too Funny I went with the GMC Canyon AT4 version ;) I have a list of Mods if you would like some ideas

[@RepentB4TooLate]

I noticed that the truck runs faster and gas lasts just a little bit longer

[@scottloy89]

Thanks for the video. I was debating between this one or the other non flip up hard cover for my '24 High Country 1500. This helps!

[@Lethalgarage]

The gaps haven’t proven to be an issue in rain or heavy dew yet.

[@rbrtgrca]

i just have a 6th gen but the install guides ARE BACK

[@JeffSchmitz331]

Was just looking at this one for my 2023 Silverado. Still happy 3 months later?

[@Lethalgarage]

@@JeffSchmitz331 very much so. No major issues in 100+ heat or in rain we saw around the time of install. Have moved big stuff and small stuff, and the fold up is easy and it remains nice and snug.

[@JeffSchmitz331]

@@Lethalgarage Awesome! Thanks for the update. Have a retractable on it now and as you mentioned it takes quite a bit of bed space away.

[@joshr19821]

That’s annoying they don’t supply two foam chunks to fill those daylight gaps. But I assume if you call them they would ship out for free

[@darongproeung696]

Thoughts of Russell Wilson being a Steelers?

[@Lethalgarage]

I’m not happy about it, but it might fit what the team needs. Time will tell.

[@DouglasPhillips90]

How has the cover been holding up? I’m between this tri fold rough county or the bak revolver x4s for my F250.

[@Lethalgarage]

No issues to report, open and close it up almost on the daily.

[@juasmith1]

Still happy? Has that leak caused an issue or did you ever reach out to them? That is a bit concerning considering these are over $700.

[@Lethalgarage]

No issues and very little water in those spots when in rain. Nothing to really complain about fortunately

[@scottloy89]

Could always ask for extra foam strip and apply in those corners?!

[@davidwoods6391]

Audio is great!!!

[@carlcolorado3549]

Never buy goofy auto insurance. I'm going to guarantee you got ripped off on it. For those to be valid the dealership has to do any and all work on the vehicle. By you installing the bed cover you just voided your warranty.

[@sniperlif3]

Idk why, but it looks weird to see you in flip-flops and shorts. It just doesn't match you. Then again, neither does an Apple watch and/or whatever you have on your other wrist. Also, did you just call 2 inches of space loss 8 inches? You must be packing

[@Lethalgarage]

What am I supposed to wear? Tank top and jeans?

[@idontcaresapo8233]

I wonder if you could stick the seal to the cover instead of the bed! Have anyone tried that?

[@Lethalgarage]

It wouldn’t be long enough. But could be a good add, but I think there would still be a small gap.
