I bought a lomax for my tundra after seeing your install video. I had to wait a few months as they were not making them just yet for my truck. I had a Bak roll-x that was falling apart after having it on my truck five years. It was leaking bad, always did slightly from day one, seams/seals that had come apart and I had fixed them numerous times so I was done with it, especially after contacting them about the issues and getting no response/help with it. I absolutely love the lomax so far, no issues, like the one on CO2, mine stays closed most of the time and when I do open it up I don’t rush it. For the price point and construction of it, I don’t believe there is a better cover out there.
I got an old Fold-a-Cover for 12 years on my old truck, it stayed waterproof ten years and then I order the seals for 50$ to replace them all and give it a new life. Can support 450 pounds and I've walk on it numerous time without problems or permanent bowing. I can acces both end and without the tailgate open. Now on their new G4 elite on my 18 truck and like it even better.
I had ordered mine right after your review and loved it for the same reasons. Had the same problems with the seams a month later. After contacting them they sent me a new cover no problems since. Excellent customer service!!!
Bjorn, how did you go about contacting LOMAX? I too have this same issue with the seams and I have been trying different "fixes" to attach the seams back to the cover. Was it best to take pictures and send to them?
Yes please let us know how lowmax handles your leaking seem issue. Hopefully they would take care of it without knowing you have a huge RUclips channel. It would be awesome to see how they would treat any ol regular Joe.
Thanks for the review. I bought one for my 2018 Colorado it has leaked since day one, very dissatisfied. It does look good but can never leave any thing I don't want wet. There is no adjustments. Would not recommend.
I bought the Lomax pro in aluminum diamond plate and am installing today. I plan on using the diamond plate as a landing strip for my drone, and will be keeping my tools or DJ system in the rear
Thanks for video, too bad it's not for me. I did hear the rubbing before the lift when you heard it. If you have or haven't already, your idea of mounting a felt pad is a good one. Only be sure to oversize the pad a little so it can slide under a bit before it lands on the surface.
Yea after 1 year and that price ! I liked me cheap 300.00 rough country sofrt trifold, never had a leak. But I would mind a hard trifold or dual fold that would hold some weight like standing on
That is covered under warranty by the way. Your dealer should have called you and let you know that there was a recall and they will replace it with a new one. Just an FYI
I've had mine on my 2017 F150 since December of 2017. Zero problems. No rips in the seams. It's water tight. Have taken lid completely off twice. Open and close it on a regular basis. Just got a brand new 2020 F150. I'm about to move the cover to my new truck. My only real issue is I think it scratches fairly easily. Be careful about putting bags and whatnot on top and sliding them off. I've read the riot act to my family so they are careful. Another small thing is that because it's all metal, it gets really hot in the Texas sun. Can be a little tough to touch when opening.
Its been 2 years from this comment. Is it still not leaking? I was liking this cover but my goal is to stop water and the ripped seams now have me very cautious.
@@NittanyNation22 Still not leaking. Everything works great. The little hold-down bungee clips use when the top is fully open are pretty ragged but they still work. The finish is really faded. I need to paint it.
@@markjohnson6971 Thanks for the reply. That's really good to hear. I got the soft roll up and its lasted me since 2015 but its time for a new cover. I didn't want to spend more money on a better one just for it to leak in a year.
@@markjohnson6971 that is great to hear, I'm really considering one of these for my Tacoma. How would you rate the security of this? Could somebody really lift the cover up with their hands, even while it's closed & the tailgate is locked? I've seen a couple of people saying it's very flimsy.
Comments on the vinyl edges peeling and the rub marks from the folding are not related to the product, that is related to a modification that was performed (choosing to have it wrapped). SO to get to the point, the only issue identified was a seal failure.
Since the Peragon collapses into the bed instead of flipping up, you cannot keep stuff towards the front of the bed. Peragon is great if you don't ever fill your bed, or if you just put short stuff in your bed. If you put anything tall, you can't open it. You'll have to open the tailgate and pull everything out and crawl under the cover and move the stuff towards the front. Peragon is a flawed design. I was really considering the Peragon, but I thought about this, did some research and yes, it is an issue. It's actually a huge issue.
Had a retrax cover on my old truck and hated the fact that it robbed me of some bed space. So decided to try this out instead. After having the cover for 4 months I wished I went with retrax again and just bought a long bed
Custom Offsets Its really leaky and for some reason mine doesn’t sit as flush as yours do, it’s a little raised. Plus it’s kinda unwieldy when you take whole thing off. My friends and Dad all said “hey when you need the whole bed just take it off” but found out it ain’t that easy on a lifted truck. Had the shop I bought it from do the install so I don’t know if they made a mistake with the install and maybe that’s the reason it doesn’t sit as flush.
JCML I think of you adjust your side rails so they sit a bit lower on your bed rails, you’ll notice that the cover will sit more flush and seal out the water better.
My peragon works fine, functionally, but leaks horribly. I've adjusted it multiple times to double check and it doesn't matter. It leaks at seams and all over the place.
What is the distance from the open edge of the cover to the inside edge of the the tailgate? I have a newer gmc Sierra as well and carry pallets of product a lot and was trying to see if a pallet could fit without having to take the entire cover off. Currently have the Bakflip cover but it's out of warranty and few parts broke. So looking for new one. Thanks!
Just purchased this product. My concern before watching was the seam issue, even though looked like awesome product. Was just wondering what LoMax said or did about the seam?
LoMax has actually redesigned and improved the cover every year since they were released. We are running the new cover on both our SEMA F350 and Shawn's daily F250 and they are working and holding up awesome!
That lid is rubbish. Gaylords lids all the way! They are the real O.G. cover. Spend the money; get it color matched. Can't understand why you would cut corners on your lid when your building a custom truck. C'mon guys
I like review/follow up videos. It's nice to see sincere product reviews.
They redesigned the cover. We sell a LOT of these covers and have never had a single issue. Good video review of the first generation of these though!
What did the re-design do? Can those hinges still fail like that???

Where did you get the Lomax for the Tundra? What is the price range? 2011 Crew Max with the short bed.

cekgsk I called there costumer service number from the website and gave them the serial number on the inside of the cover.
He opened and closed it in this video more than i would’ve in the entire year😂

This was a nice ideal to wrap it to match , I wish they made more. Color match hard fold , beside A.R.E Fusion
Was about to buy this until I saw that seam come undone.. thanks for saving me from a headache

I would like u to but weather tech cover vs low max they look pretty much the same
So glad you made this video. This cover is at the top of my list. The torn seal is kind of a bummer. Is it covered under any kind of warranty?

Hummm yeah they are.... So get to to the point Timbo! There were many failures on the original design...
"I don't ever take this off or fold it". rip in the seam after a year. I'd want my Money back
Same here! I like the Leer better
Great review
To help with the chipping. Try putting on a clear stone guard film .
I like the honesty! Keep up the great work!
Well, my cover does everything yours does, plus really secure and carries my two 450 ATVs.
So, what kind is it? Did you make it yourself?

Probably because he wants to keep his bed dry
Would never buy it based on your video.
Thanks.
Bill Peirce that’s why we want to be honest. For some this will still make sense. For others it won’t. But the truth is the truth.
Thank you for the review, based on this I would pass on this cover.
Why not just get it painted..?
BLUE KAOS that is likely the next move. Agreed!
Had a retrax cover on my old truck and hated the fact that it robbed me of some bed space. So decided to try this out instead. After having the cover for 4 months I wished I went with retrax again and just bought a long bed

Eric Streur Nice I’ll try that out.
JCML did you ever get a chance to lower your cover, and if so, did it help?
Cute and accurate
A Peragon cover would be better and they’ll paint it to match your color vehicle exactly. Great reviews.
Well have to look into those!

4 open feet after it is rollled up to the last block of the cover!

Not for me! The joints are going to leak. This is AKA Weathertech Alloycover. Strangely, no real comments or views on Weathertech's re-badging.

Fuller likes to pretend he's 8ft tall sometimes. Yes, he was on a ladder.

Could have just retrofitted your avalanche covers and done it custom style.
Thanks for the advice. Do not buy.
every go here for more details
paragon cover would be better n they paint match.
Looks weak like it can easily be opened from the sides
powder coat
That is the worst truck ive ever seen. should be called "how to lose $50k in 6 short months".
Why not just paint it?
We painted the new one! much much better!

Nice truck but the bed cover is trash.

Junk

One piece covers look really bulky for a streamlined custom. Low profile looks better on his truck. Old man style not O.G.covers lol!
the whole thing with this cover is he wanted it to sit flush/lower then the bed rails and not have something sticking up
Yeah Kyle... O.G cover alright “Old Grandpa” cover lol!
