[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tacoma owners. What tonneau cover is best.

Posted: 2/9/2016 7:10:53 PM EDT

Just got a new Tacoma and was debating about whether to put a tonneau cover on it. I do have stuff I need to haul occasionally that I would like to keep dry or hidden.

I have looked at the Uncercover Flex or the Bakflip f1. An online seller recommended the F1, but I have seen many reviews online liking the flex. The flex would be about $128 cheaper. $771 vs $899.

Other suggestions are also welcome.

To crush your payload, to see it driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of its women!

I have the flex and love it. I have had zero issues with it.

Doesn't the 2016 have a factory tonneau cover option?

I think it does, but it is $1,300.

I have a Truxedo Truxsport. Its been in place for 3 years with no issues. Its a simple rollup one.

I have an Access Limited on my Tacoma. No issues but I've only had it about 6 months.
The last 2 trucks I had Extang on them with no Issues.

I have the Undercover Classic on my Nissan Titan. It's perfect for road trips and keeping luggage or bags in the back and not worrying about them getting wet or stolen. Removing the cover is easy but takes two people because of the size and not necessarily because of the weight of the cover.

I have been looking at some of these for my 2014.

$1k? You guys must be rolling in money. I screwed down a piece of painted plywood. Works great but not very cool.

$800 pickup can use screwed down plywood, $38K pickups usually don't go the hillbilly route.

I really liked my Undercover on my '08 Tacoma, and it had the bonus of locking the tailgate. I could R&R it myself in the garage within minutes to have the full bed available, but it was pushing the limit of being a one man job.

My brother has a Bakflip on his F150 and loves it. My current truck came with a TruXedo Lo Pro QT. It works about as well as can be expected from a roll-up vinyl cover. It keeps cargo unseen, more or less covered from direct precipitation, and vulnerable to a thief with a box knife.

Backflip gets high reviews on f150forum(dot)com

I had a rollback for maybe a decade on my '04 F-150. Took it off a year ago and prefer going without any kind of cover. And no, I don't haul a lot of stuff.

I don't have a Tacoma, but I put an Extang Trifecta on my truck. I guess it just all depends on the type you want and how much you want to spend.

This thread is relevant to my interests.

Edit: And there goes post .223.

I have a Truxedo LoPro QT on my Titan. Roll up, because often I do have taller items and I am by myself, and I am cheap. Plus it really gets out of the way, the bed stays mostly dry even in massive downpours, and it is secure enough for my needs. If I had expensive tools or other things in the bed, I would look at a hard roll up or backflip type hard cover.

I guess some people don't feel doubling the value of their truck by adding a tonneau cover is the best option.

Touche!

FWIW, I have a LEER cap on my 2015 DCTRDOR Taco. If I want to haul big stuff, I have a tilt bed trailer that is MUCH easier to load then a 3 foot high pickup bed.

Have a Fold A Cover on my truck. Locks front and back which is nice. Doesn't look like they've made one for the 2016 Tacoma yet though.
They did make one for 2015 so I'd guess they'll make one for the 2016.
