Why You SHOULD & SHOULDN'T BUY Rough Country Tonneau Bed Cover! | Toyota Tacoma TRD OFF-ROAD

[@l.h.1238]

I got one that was damaged. Contacted them and sent a couple pictures through email. I had a new one in 2 days. Customer service was great.

[@coloradowing8518]

Great video review. Funny, it appears petty mentioning "gets dirty easy", but that IS actually a valid concern for many people, so it makes sense to include it. You don't talk to much to simply be heard, you get to the Pros and Cons quickly and much appreciated. Thanks!

[@vitaly6312]

So I’ve had several trucks and several different fold up tonneau covers and I think it’s a good cover. Most of the tri folds definitely do not fold the last panel, closest to the window, and most that open up all the way are right around $1,000 or more. Taking it off is easy and it stores right in the bed if you want. Taking it off is a breeze and takes 2 minutes, or just a minute longer than my previous tonneaus. This is a secure tonneau and offers mpg benefits, security of carrying stuff in the bed as well as protecting against tailgate theft - which is surprisingly common in Tacoma’s! I considered a paragon cover which is amazing but it’s right around a grand and considering I got my rough country for about 1/2 price I can’t even compare. The criticism of the last fold not folding up is a valid criticism but you also have to consider that vast majority of other trifold covers are the same, a hard one piece tonneau only goes up, and a topper is a pain in the ass to remove and reinstall properly. Tri fold refers to the 3 panels.

really good video man, not being able to haul furniture can be a good thing as in "hey man, you think you can help me move a refrigerator in your new truck?" " oh sorry buddy I would love to but my new bed cover is permanently installed (wink wink) and it just wont fit!“

Ran across your video the day after ordering the Rough Country and you made some valid pros /cons but for my use, it still is the one I'm sticking with... Can't wait! Thanks for making this video!

[@Athleticramirez]

Wohooo! You welcome 🙏🏻 Glad I’m able to be of service.

[@smflyboy]

Actually, Undercover Tonneau designed and manufactures this cover for Rough Country. I know this because Rough Country told me when I needed to buy some different hardware when I got a new truck that already had bed rails installed in it. I had to get the parts from Undercover who just asked me for the serial number. Like yourself, I really like this cover, but I do wish I could fold up the last panel. Nice video!

I just bought and installed on my 2022 tundra and my solution to the cons are 1. Use my trailer for any bigger hauls 2. Gorilla glue for any seals that may rise. 3. Well..I wash my truck once a week. So hopefully I can enjoy this really nice tonneau cover..😂

[@TheInsanitiesedge]

I got mine a few months ago. It came WITHOUT any mounting hardware.... just the cover. Contacted Rough Country ( a month later ) and informed them that the unit was missing items. They apologized and sent me a whole new unit. ( I wasn't able to open and start to install until a month after receiving the package due to an injury )

[@SR-cp1eo]

This may sound stupid, but I wonder if you put some type of clear coat epoxy on the back to fill in the gaps, then ceramic coat the epoxy once it's set. Should keep the dust off much better if it's a concern for some people. But that's quite a bit of work just to keep a Tonneau cover clean haha. Great job on the video! I'm glad I stumbled across it before I bought one. I was one click away but living in Hawaii, shipping isn't cheap.... Trying other options before I pull the trigger. Keep 'em coming! nicely done!

[@ruffxm]

I know this is an older video, but I want to add some detail for those that stumble on this later, as I did. Rough Country has two similar hard tri-folds...One model only opens 2/3's as shown in this video (They refer to it as a "Hard Low Profile Bed Cover") and the other allows 3 sections to open ("Hard Tri-Fold Flip Up Bed Cover"). $100 difference in price but worth it if the 3rd section opening is important to you.

[@Ironsja11]

Thank you for the video! I am researching tonneau covers for my Tacoma and as much as I like this one that folding rubber between the panels is not going to cut it. When it's not cold here it's hot and constantly folding rubber like that is not going to last.

[@9ball103]

Great job. I was thinking that's not really a tri-fold and then you pointed it out in the cons. I do have to say that Rough Country offers comparable products at a great price. Looks and almost does everything the other tri-folds do for less. Will work fine for people who are not constantly using their bed. I was thinking about getting this but found a Undercover cover for only $30 more than this, so I couldn't pass that up.

[@Athleticramirez]

Thank you for stopping by and sharing a positive feedback! 🙏🏻 Glad to hear you found something for your truck, that’s a great deal 🔥

[@DiggsDirtWorks]

Mine came with supporting brackets that you can put up or down on each side so you can hold the cover up to utilize the rest of the bed, it’s secure even at highway speeds

[@Athleticramirez]

Interesting! I never got that on the original packaging, let me look Into that. Thanks for the info!!

[@johncoyne4263]

Due to the way this cover is installed, there is no way to hold the last section up. There are 4 screw knobs that hold that section to the frame rails and it’s not possible to lift this section up.

[@keithrogers2942]

[@db5202]

Thanks for your video. I dropped off my PU for a small dent to be repaired. They did a great job on the actual repair but forgot to re-clamp my Rough Country tri-fold so when I hit the turnpike off it went. They were so sorry for the mistake that they bought me the new Rough Country flush-mount and I'm not so sure I like it. The older style sat on top, had a clamp on both sides but no exposed rubber on it. All the gaskets are under the hardtop. Should I install this one I fear the gaskets will curl, leak and dry up. What's your thoughts? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your video. It was part of the reason I'm in doubts of the new style.

I installed one in my ver y and after rains I got water in one corner inside close to the right tail lights

add some protection for those rubber trim pieces, rubber tends to dry and crack over time. Giving it protection will prolong its life
