| Owners say | Twelve owners name it in their own posts, two more describe theirs in threads about it, and two deleted accounts report on theirs; their trucks include Gen13 and Gen14 F-150s, Mavericks, Tundras, a Colorado and a Frontier. They like how quickly it comes off, the low profile, the quiet ride and that it works with power tailgates. | Seventeen clearly describe one of their own and ten more probably do; at least five of the 17 run it on vehicles we don't cover (a Ridgeline, a Frontier, a 2nd gen Colorado), and a few may have the fabric T3X. They praise the price, the easy install and how long it lasts: five owners report about four to eight years, and four more who probably had a T3 report four to six. |
| Our verdict | A low hard tri-fold that lifts off in minutes with no drain tubes; expect a drip at the tailgate in a hard storm, and check the support bars. | The budget soft tri-fold we would buy for a daily driver, as long as you need no lock and no load rating. |
