I see the trifold, but can you stand it vertical after the 2nd fold? aka, does it have posts to stand up against the rear glass, should you need the extra room?

no it doesn't, you simply lift it up and remove it, takes 5sec

i fell in love with this cover while waiting for bed liner to be sprayed in, but did not purchase. Tried to find a better price online without success, ending up going with a soft tri-fold for about a fourth of the cost. Anyway IMHO it is the nicest looking cover I have seen. Take a look at this real owner honest review, watch the whole thing, tips about wrapping and problems encountered.
For what it's worth, when the soft cover gives up the ghost, I will look check out the Lomax again. I was very impressed with the display model and I believe it has been improved? I remember thinking though that a coat hanger between the tailgate and cover could snag the pull string and open the cover?

Bottom line I was just going for looks and it nails that hands down!
Yeah I saw that video as well and that is what put it over the top for me... I also bought the skid pads just incase... but it seems the Lomax may have fixed the issue already with rubber feet on it.

It does not stand up against the back window. If you need that extra space, then you will just have to left it off and set it inside the bed. It is very light weight.

Took some images of the bed lite up using the factory LED lights that came with the truck... it seems bright enough with the Lomax on...

I just picked up the Lomax on Amazon for $730... and it took about a whole 5 mins to install it with a friend holding the rails...
Here are a few images on it right now. One of the main reason why I chose this Lomax was that I could wrap it in vinyl to match the Hydro Blue cheaply instead of having it painted.
The love the low profile and you can close it with the tailgate either opened or closed.

Long term update, is the cover still keeping everything dry on the inside?

I've had the same cover for a little over a year and mine is holding up great! Been through car washes, torrential rain, heavy snow on cover and if I get any water in the bed it's literally a few drips. I'm very comfortable putting stuff in the bed that needs to be kept dry. I'd HIGHLY recommend this cover!!

I have had mine on for 18 months in the Texas heat and rain, the rubber seals and everything still look great, no complaints whatsoever.

That cover really looks great on your truck, I think it’s the nicest one I’ve seen. I’m looking hard at getting one, but I’m choking on the cost of it. Seems like a couple of rails and clamps, and three aluminum panels with weather stripping should not cost $900. All the hard tonneau covers are really expensive, though....

Yep I’ve been checking amazon warehouse, I guess I’ll be checking eBay as well. In the past I have always had a fiberglass cap, leer etc. But not so easy to remove and store when you need hauling space, especially if you happen to be alone at the time.

That’s why I love this cover just removed it a few days ago to help a friend move some old couches. Easy to get on and off in seconds

You guys are really pushing me over the expensive side of the fence here ;)

I'll have to causally mention this to the wife...today is not the day, it's International Women's Day. I already got the stinkeye once today because I am not in possession of a gift to bestow upon her for said holiday :doh2:
