The ULTIMATE Tonneau Cover Comparison (Ram 1500 / RamBox edition) | Truck Central

In this episode, the High Mileage 2019 Ram 1500 (with the factory RamBox option) gets a new truck bed cover. We tried three very different options. Which one works best? Watch and find out!

*One video, three very different tonneau covers! Which type do you have on your truck?*

I have a 2018 with the RAM Box and wanted to look into tonneau covers. I don't do as much "Truck" stuff with mine which some of my buddies gave me a hard time about getting one in the first place. I simply said "Look at it! Black crew cab with lots of chrome and the cool looking Ram Boxes! It's the best looking thing on the road and I am in love..." but I digress. I think the retractable one looks the best. Now just have to save up and get it! Thank you for the great video!

I watch a lot of truck videos and i have to say, your videos are great. You speak well. You give worthy advice. Your delivery is always calm and easy, plus you're informative.. i guess what im trying to say is, thank you for Not being an idiot. Keep up the good work.

i like the roll out because it doesnt block the view, ive had it stretched over stuff in the bed, let half open (cant go 80mph), but still no starting to wear out some. but has served me very well!

I’ve had the Retrax on mine for 2 years and I cannot be happier. It is holding up like a champ. I believe the bearings are sealed.

Also not a lot of water gets in there, but I did filled the big gap on the tailgate end with a heavy foam pad. If you read this and are curious, I can send you pics of what I did. I am sure you will appreciate it.

So I just traded for a 2020 Ram 1500 withh the rambox's and a multi-function tailgate and one thing I noticed, even in your video is the gaps at the tailgate top towards both sides. Mine has the oem tri-fold cover but it doesn't cover those gaps so rain gets in through there. I'm still researching to see if anyone has come up with a fix for this.

[torresdben]

when the trifold is in the upright position can you still see out of the rear view mirror camera?

[CSltz]

Like you I have had them all through the years. Top pick would be the Rol n lock. The worst was the tri folds. I lost so much access space to the 8 foot bed. Any dirt, debris excess straw from bales, loose tools. Would wind up underneath that front panel where you could not reach it without undoing the whole thing. I hated it so much I wound up just giving it away. The truck had a bed rug in it. Which stopped a lot of the sliding problems. And I think that you will find it will stop a lot of your dust problems. As long as you get the extra tailgate pieces. This closes the gap between the tailgate and bed.

Thanks for sharing your review. I have a 20 with ram boxes but the manufacturer didn't ship my order cover upon shipping. So I've been looking around for one.

[RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

Just purchased a 22 with the Ram boxes Justin...have the factory cover and have no intention of replacing it since it's not bad at all👍

[ValkyrieIA]

Ordered an extant xceed for a 2022 ram with ram boxes and split tail gait. Fingers crossed.

[JonathanBaileynu]

Thank you for a well rounded review.. I enjoyed this and it was very helpful in my selection.

Our company has had 3 different hard roll covers. We have had Roll N Locks. Love them. they were (are) the best built, longest lasting units we have ever had. But we didn't like the tail gate lock rail. Made it a pain to slide items on/off our beds. May be different now since just about every truck has a locking tailgate. Then we went to Retrax. The biggest pieces of shit ever designed for a truck bed cover. We had 5 trucks that were with in 1 year having slat separation issues. Retrax warranted 2 of them. One of the warranted units did the same thing in 6 months. Then we went with Pace Arrow. Much better quality than Retrax.

great video, thanks for all of the info bud!

I went without a cover for years. Once I got a soft roll top, I’ll never not have one. For $250 bucks I can replace it ever 5 yrs if needed. But so far my gator cover is holding up really well. I’d say 95% water proof in Florida which is saying something… totally rolls out of the way when not needed. The velcro really isnt that big a deal. Can be tightened easily like he said if it starts to stretch. A lot of ppl just dont bother. It’s one of those things that’s designed to be more practical than pretty anyway. Mainly keeps thieving eyes off your stuff - but that’s often the main thing. Dont give people a reason to look in there and want to jack your stuff. But I find privacy and water resistance to be big big plusses.

Would a 4x8 sheet fit in the back with the 3rd, sliding option. Im a roofer & carry lots of OSB to jobs in my 16 Rebel. It’s fits in perfectly now but it looks like you lose a few inches.

[traviswilliams]

2020 with ram boxes, truxedo sentry CT on mine. Super low profile, rolls up nice, pops off easy if I need the extra couple inches at the cab.

[TomGunnZ]

serious question i went from a 2019 ram rebel due to rear end collison to a 2022 limited would you buy another ram limited again? or any ram product

[yonceydelatorre]

I assume you cannot use these covers with the ladder rack systems that go on the rails?

[rt]

Is there a Ram box cover that fits without adding rials so I can still slide in a 4x8 sheet of plywood and close the tailgate ? Thanks in advance
