Just a few pics here to highlight my Diamondback Cover. Let me know what you think.

I get minimal rain intrusion but it's completely livable.

Garage isn't the cleanest, don't mind my junk.

That thing is sick looking!! Do they give you any interference when opening the Rambox lid with drag or anything? How does it attach to the rails?

Clearance is tight when opening ramboxes. There is rubber to gasket contact, there is no apparent wear or damages though. Installed Jan '20.

When opening the front and rear cover doors there is no contact between them and ramboxes.

When ramboxes and covers are open simultaneously be careful to close ramboxes 1st to avoid contact. If you do close the cover(s) 1st the rambox(es) will get rubbed but they also get bumped away--even then, no apparent damages occur.

The cover is anchored in the middle with 4 bolt downs. It took about 2 hours to install but only because I was unfamiliar with the installation. See pics.

We do frequent cross country travel so I was looking for a strong security box-- this fits the bill.

Yes it does. I can open/close the doors without having to open the lid. It's not air or water tight though. I added some rubber gaskets here and there to mitigate but there is still some leakage however not horrible.

Have the 270 model delivered a couple of weeks ago. Waiting for my 22 1500 to be delivered. Built inspected but not shipped.

Will a 4th generation Diamondback fit a fifth generation, both with RAM Box? Heard it didn't, any feedback is appreciated.

How much weight does it add? With only 1000# payload capacity on my limited, I'm really careful not to add anything I don't need. The OEM tonneau cover isn't secure but it is light.

EDIT: https://diamondbackcovers.com/pages/compare-covers

Looks like 125 pounds. no thanks. I'm sure it's great but just not for my use case. I don't even lock my doors at night where I live so don't really need the added security. I use the tonneau cover because of the fuel economy gains. this would probably chew away at that.
