Gator Covers Gator ETX Soft Tri-Fold Truck Bed Tonneau Cover | 59409 | Fits 2016 - 2023 Toyota Tacoma, will not work with Trail Edition models 5' 1" Bed (60.5")

Got this for my 23' Tacoma. It appears high quality, fits perfectly, it is lightweight, the install was easy and the ease of open/close and roll up makes it incredibly convenient and efficient. If you take your time, you can get it to fit so that it is near waterproof. So far, over the course of a year, it has proven to be tough, weather resilient, durable with no signs of wear/tear, and far more practical than the trip-folds on the market. I love the fact that I can roll it up and have the full capacity of the bed available in a matter of seconds. Is it as secure as a hard cover? No, of course not, it is vinyl. But does it keep your gear dry and whatever is in the bed not visible to any passerby? Yes, yes it does. One of the best deals and high quality aftermarket purchases i've made for my truck.Highly recommend.

So I was super skeptical about this product at first, it being a third of the price of the next best one available, and I've shopped in stores and on other sites, and the price I kept seeing was 800-1000 dollars without install service. So I rolled the dice, and expected a cheap, flimsy product, that worst case scenario I would use in the winter to keep the snow out of the bed of my tacoma and I would start again in the spring.the product was shipped on time, so plus right there. the box itself was large but not unmanageable.The written instructions were a bit vague and if your not too mechanically inclined you may struggle with them, but the youtube video was about 5 minutes long and extremely thorough. So I'm confident anybody can figure this out. start to finish took me about 20 minutes. the kit gave me everything I needed but a knife to cut the weather strip. At the end of it, still being weary of this product, I went through it with a fine tooth comb looking for issues, and what I did find wasn't a deal breaker, especially for 270 bucks, 1. the clamps were kind of a pain in the A to adjust and get just right, and if your going to be in and out constantly removing the cover, maybe get something more sturdy and pliable, 2. even with the heath strip, this is in no way 100% water tight, so anything that can't get wet shouldn't be placed in the bed with no other protection, 3. the canvas isn't real thick, but does seem durable enough to with stand snow and highway winds, but I wouldn't stand on it or use it as a tool benchAgain, for the price difference and what my use for it is, these are non issues for a 500+ dollar savings.Its been on my truck for a month no, in in that month, its withstood rain storms, heavy winds, a lot of highway time and a carwash. SO far so good. As I mentioned above, I did need to remove the rear section once to us my bed, and it was a bit cumbersome to clip and unclip, and the plastic handles I do fear may become brittle in colder weather, so be warned if you are going to be in and out of the bed, but again for me its a not that big of a deal.5 stars....is it the best no, but it is the best for its price.

Starting with the technical specs... I installed this bed cover on a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road with a 5' bed. I have the bed rail system that came with the truck. Installation took me all of 45 minutes and most of that was letting my detail-oriented nit-picking shine through to ensure that the cover was centered properly prior to hardware installation. After centering the cover, the installation was a breeze. It isn't totally waterproof, but then short of a custom-built cover (that would probably run in the $1500-$2000 range) you aren't going to get waterproof. I installed this looking for a bump in mileage as well as basic protection for items stored in the bed (and I'm not going to lie, it just looks really good). Also, this is a pickup. You don't store stuff in the bed and then get mad when it gets wet. If this is the case, you don't want a truck, you want a SUV. All that aside though... the cover is secure, I've taken my truck on the interstate at highway speeds (I'll leave it to your imagination on how fast I was going) and it didn't even flutter. I have also noticed a gain of a little over one mile per gallon with this installed (that may not seem like much but when you drive 40 miles each way to work and pay California prices for gas, every little bit helps). Overall very much worth the price. I'm super happy with this bed cover.

I spent a fair amount of time looking for a tonneau cover. I didn’t want to send a lot of money because in the past I’ve either had a topper/cap or nothing at all and wasn’t sure if I’d like a tonneau. Toppers/caps are great from a waterproof standpoint but they’re a hassle when you need to haul something that won’t fit under it which usually ends up being practically everything that isn’t grocery or household items. This ended up being perfect. I haven’t managed to keep it 100% waterproof which isn’t the covers fault, some of that lies with how the bed is assembled. It’s supposed to come with a tailgate seal as well which may get it closer to 100% but it didn’t show up with the cover. I called customer service which was a very positive experience. They were friendly and said they’d get it sent out right away. I received the wrong thing and decided to go without rather than try again.The instillation was really easy. No tools needed and maybe took a half hour. The quick release is convenient and easy to operate. The only complaint I have is the back (near the cab) connectors. The bolts become an obstacle when you snug them down. I wouldn’t care but I’ve had to remove the cover a couple times and know I will need to in the future so it’s a little frustrating because they need to be snug to maintain the weather seal. I think adding a spacer will alleviate the issue so there’s a way around that. Aside from that I love it and would definitely recommend this product. Good quality product at a fair price.
