Truxedo lo pro QT or TruXport

Trying to decide between these two covers. I really like the low pro, but am worried about my hitch clearance. I have the B&W companion hitch, and have it adjusted to the highest setting. It is below the top of the rails, but higher than the bottom of them. (If that makes sense). I know the TruXport mounts on top of the rails, I have plenty of clearance between my 5er and the bed rails so that wouldn't be a problem. Does anybody have any experiences with either one? I want to go with a roll up as I am installing an aux fuel tank, so want easy access to it. Thanks for the help.
  • I have the companion and the low pro. No problems at all that are what in would call normal use. I was backing out of a drive last Saturday and had it jacked Around and at an weird angle and the wiring box on the back side of the hitch came into contact with one of the rails. Guaranteed I will be mob the box and or replacing it with something else. (I hate how cheap it looks anyway) if it wasn't the there would never have been any contact.
  • I once had an Access Cover with rails and the back of my pin box made contact with the rails on a tight turn. Bent the cover rail and creased the truck bed, $900.00 of damage. No more cover/rail system for me. Last three years I have had a "no rail" tri-fold Tonno Pro cover. Quick and easy to install. Solved my problem.
  • I would go with the Lo-pro, it's a better cover. Truxedo built the Truxsport as their economy line. The Lo-pro is more durable and has a wider Velcro track.
  • I have had 2 truxports on 2 different trucks. My trucks are always garaged. I have had no problems with mine, with my connection.

    Low sitting covers do not give the clearance I needed to fit things like a generator. The truxport streches over the generator when not hooked up.

    I like my truxports immensely.

  • Thanks for the help guys, after seeing Winged One's pic, think I will go with the TruXport, the added clearance inside the bed will come in handy.
  • I have the Lo Pro with a Reese 16K fifth wheel hitch and no problems at all. The dealer told me he would have to remove the cover to install the hitch to make room for his tech to work. I told him he wouldn't and I was right.
