tonnaeu

I have the TonnoPro tri-fold. And live in MN. It is garaged at night, but had no problem last year at times with >6inches of snow on it. I'm sure if it was sitting in Buffalo NY with 6ft of snow it wouldn't hold (as some of the sticks and bricks roofs aren't right now). I can't imagine it sinking to the truck bed.

With that said, I haven't left it on while towing yet because it uses up over 3in of rail clearance. I keep thinking of leaving it on, and will probably give it a try this coming year (just being careful in campgrounds, my superglide will help on all but the tightest turns). Fortunately it only takes a couple minutes to put it on and off so it hasn't been too difficult to put it on when unhitched in campground to cover the hitch.

I previously had a Truxedo Truxport roll up and never had that problem with it. I wasn't wild about the roll up because I wanted the front part of the bed covered while towing. My current Tonno Pro trifold stays garaged so I haven't had a lot of snow on it, but I can't see it stretching to that point; it seems pretty sturdy. Additionally it is bowed up slightly.

I too am just starting the search for a cover on my Ram long bed. Now I have 10 brands to look into. Years ago I had a vinyl roll up on my pickup. I was not pulling a fifth wheel with this truck. I found myself in Iowa during a snow storm and when I went out in the morning the vinyl cover was weighted down with snow and actually stretched to rest in the bottom of the bed. It had two support bars to prevent this but they weren't much help. Are the vinyl covers better constructed now to prevent this?

Rolls up behind cab.

Our Retrax Pro is great. Easy to open, locks in any position, and weather proof. Very satisfied.

I'm also looking at covers. Anybody using the truxedo using the deuce? It seems very versatile being a roll up that can open from the front also.

We had the Pace Edwards for 15 years on our 1996 Dodge and loved it. When it needed replacing, we went for the Retrax. It was good until a little birdie left us a present. I really ruined that area. We went back to Pace Edwards. When we purchased our 2014 Ram last year, we stayed with the Pace Edwards but this time treated ourselves to the key fob and just hit the button to open or close. I also like that we can stop it anywhere when we are towing. Hugs, Di

Yes have a truxedo. It improves mileage by 1 to 2 gpm when not towing. I did have to cut the rails so that would give me more clearance to the 5th. It takes just a few minutes to reinstall or remove the cut portion.

I have a Pace Edwards Full Metal Jackrabbit that stays on all the time. Pull it all the way back when not towing to hide things in the bed. And keeps the hitch out of the weather. Pull it back to near the hitch when towing if I have something in the front of the bed I want to hide.

Me too... Love it... I can close it all the way and lock it... I can open it all the way.. Or I can open it every 12 inches.. The best part is the fact that it does NOT attach to the tailgate , this way I can open and close the tailgate without opening the cover...

The Pace Edwards works with a V gate
