Looks identical to Lomax.

I also have the Lomas Tri-fold and love it.
Thinking you're doing something wrong when you take it off. I lock the bungee tabs after folding it, grab the release bungee and lift the front edge. With it completely folded, I can hold it in one hand by the rails. Cannot see any reason for a two person lift. I took mine off completely today to pressure wash my bed. I will say that having the bed step makes the whole process way easier than it would be without one.

I agree. If you're a military veteran, you can get $200 off 10%.

Yeah, I'm not exactly Dwayne Johnson, but I can remove / re-install my Lomax fairly easily. If it's been soaking all day in the Houston sun, a pair of gloves doesn't hurt my feelings. It gets damn hot here!

How has it been for keeping the elements out? (Rain) Thinking of getting one.

well it didn’t rain but when i washed it and sprayed it with water no water come inside the bed maybe a drop or 2 there is no sound also when i go offroad or at high speed high way driving + my mx4 is from the gen4 ram it fitted nicely and perfect all around
Thinking I need a bed rug as well- the lomax was really easy to install. You will love it
I also just ordered the XLT, was torn between it and the Impact rug. Also pulled the trigger on the DiamondBack SE cover and low profile headache rack, can’t wait to get them!
I installed my Lomax today, it was very easy to install. Love it so far!!! I use my bed for Golf Clubs, kids Hockey Bags, and possibly luggage on an occasional trip. I almost went Retrax but didn’t like that many say the roll ups can bind in the winter. Almost went Diamondback, but I just thought it was too much for what I use the bed for.
Now I will wait for my bed rug.

I think you'll like the Diamondback. It takes awhile to get it but it's worth the wait.
Yours looks great, any tips for the install or is pretty straight forward as the video shows?

Thanks. Have a dolly ready to get the heavy box from the delivery truck to your garage or whereever. The directions say to put the 4 clamps on the center section, loosely. I wouldn't bother putting the clamps on till you have all parts on and lined up front to back and side to side. Someone else suggested to use weights rather than have someone sit on the sections while adjusting the latches, so that's what I did. Can't think of anything else. Good luck,

Just talk to Luke and let him know what truck you have. He will get you the right one.

I have the MX4, it's nice but we had about quarter size hail a few weeks ago, my truck is fine but there are dings all over the tonneau cover and it's probably not repairable.

Contacted him and got quote for $675 shipped.
I had the Bakflip F1 on my 2013 Ram with Ramboxes, and won't look at anybody else for a cover.
It is rock solid (or was as I don't own the truck anymore), and can fold up out of the way giving me full access to the bed.
My 2019 Limited came with the stupid black rail system, so now I have to pay to get the chrome ones! Grrrrr...........
I know people say it's easy to just lift the trim-fold covers off if you need access to the full bed, but what do you do when you are out somewhere and make an "on the spot" purchase.......where do you put your tonneau cover then?
I'd love to save some money and go with a different system, but considering mine did everything it was supposed to do......well it doesn't make sense to look anywhere else.
