Does anybody happen to have this bed cover or have any reviews or opinions on it? Ive never had a bed cover and i need one. I know i want a hard folding cover rather than a retractable or rollup.

That's a rebranded Lomax cover, it looks identical to mine and even has their sticker in the same location

Yeah i noticed they were very identical. I figured they were clones of one another. Is there anything you dont like about it or wish something was different?

It’s just a Lomax with Weathertech’s name on it. If you read on their website they even say it’s made by someone for them. I have the Lomax, it’s a great cover and I love mine!!!

That looks like a nice cover. I just got the Rough Country one for my truck for Christmas. It's not as flush as that one, but similar in function. $599.00.

Seals really tight and a little easier to remove/install than the Lomax/Weathertech one.

I had a Bacflip - and loved that one. Those fold against the rear glass unlike these.

Im kinda stuck now. The lomax is about $100 cheaper with a 3 year limited warranty and the weathertech has a 6 year warranty.

Got the lomax bed cover installed. Pretty happy with it so far. The panel closest to the cab came with a scuff on it. I think it may have rub on a staple that they use to hold the cardboard box together, thats the only thing i can think of. The packaging was good and there wasnt any loose pieces bouncing around. I do wish the edges of the aluminum were painted or had a rubber protector on it like the piece that goes above the tailgate. I removed my old toolbox, changed the old plastics out and replaced with new, then installed bed cover. Took about 3 hours by myself. Plus digging everything out of the toolbox. Pretty easy install.

We had a long constant mist eith a little bit of rain and i got some water in the bed. Its dripping on the wheel wells and running down the front wall of the bed. Is this a normal amount or is there something i did wrong?

I get a little bit of water in my bed.... I'm gonna try moving my rails down a tad bit and see if that helps tighten the seal up any.

Yeah that might help but the rails have that lip on it. You cant move it down much. But its worth trying. Thats not awhole lot of water but it was also a constant mist and light rain

I don't know why these companies make this waterproof claim. Maybe it doesn't leak when new, or maybe it does a little. But eventually they will leak some. It's just a bit of rubber under varying degrees of compression. Rubber hardens. Freezes etc.
Ryan I would fit some thin plywood on that bed so the water will flow down the channels underneath and not soak into the canvas bags. DO make sure the rails are down far enough though.
I don't even know if my lomax leaks. But if it does it doesn't matter. I don't carry tools and stuff. Sometimes music gear but that is becoming much less frequent. I have a black rug back there for just such occasions. Good for furniture and miscellaneous ****.
On mine those black stick on rectangles on the panel closest to the cab are lifting. One blew away. Lomax is sending some new ones. The warranty guy said he has never heard of this problem. I told him no one has ever heard of ANY warranty problem I have had in the last 50 years.
No big deal but I don't love the BS.
I wish I had a zipper case for that lomax. Wonder why they don't make one. I also wonder if it would fit in the back seat area width wise. Would be very close and most likely not. But if it had a good case it could just sit in the bed and stack **** on it.
Hmm..

That is odd that its peeling off. I added some foam on to those standoffs just for extra protection in case the rubber came off. Probably dont need it but oh well lol.

Try to adjust it down, mine looks like it sits lower than yours
