Ram1500 5.7 Ft Short Bed

The bed cover was nicely packaged. The parts were in a bag and were clearly labeled. The parts and the cover itself look and felt of good quality. I have a 2022 Ram Rebel. After getting the bed cover installed, I realized, it so much easier than the manual instructions. I watched the video that's listed on the amazon website for this bed cover, and it helped a lot. That video pretty much shows you all you need to do to get it installed. The hardest part of the install was installing the Cover cabin because the screws and the holes were not aligning. There was not much slack to move it around. So, the trick is not to position the cover all the way to the back window of the truck, leave a lot of space so you can install the cover cabin from the front. Then install the 3 screws per side, then you can slide everything into the correct spot i.e. back window. Some of you may not have this issue depending on your truck. After installing everything, I was able to function test without any issues. You can lock the bed cover without a key and I prefer to leave it unlock because the truck tailgate will be locked and the only way to open the bed cover is to first unlock the tailgate. So I guess, locking it with the key is a secondary security. The only issue I see is if you didn’t lock the cover all the way and you’re driving and it opens up. I also took it to the car wash and after, there was a little bit of water at the tailgate area. This is no big deal for me,‘because the car wash I use has the strongest pressure water spray I’ve ever seen lol, but normal rain will not get in. I took a for test drive for a day and it held strong, no rattle and it was as if there was no bed cover at all. I'm still monitoring my MPG but so far, it doesn't seem to have any effect. Overall, I highly recommend this cover. Update as of March 2026: So far the bed has been holding up pretty good. An important tip: clean the drain once a year. These are the drain under the base of the bed that’s at the front, basically the section that the bed folds to. Underneath there is the drain. You will have to remove the 3 screws on each side that holds the bed, remove the black drainage thing, clean the drain with a wire. Then test it, get a bucket of water or run a hose and make sure it’s draining. This seems to be a butt but once you do it once, it’s really easy and still makes this bed worth it. If you live in a dry area, then I wouldn’t worry about this unless, you need there’s a lot of dirt and debris that might cloak up the drain. I only noticed it was draining when it was raining season. Once you do that, the bed will stay dry always. Update as of Jan 2025: Unable to Unlock: If you run into this situation, i.e. it seems you are unable to unlock, meaning if you try to pull the unlocking rope to the right, you don't hear the clicking sound and it seems it will break if you keep pulling to the right, then go to the company's website and it shows a video how to unlock it. Basically, you use your key and rotate the clockwise so the key hole is horizontal. Then, use the bed handle and pull the bed back i.e. towards the rear/you and hold it. Without letting go, press the key hole down (you might have to push it hard down), then it should slide back, or just push it back. I've only run into this unable to unlock twice. First was the first time I got it (June 2024) and now (Jan 2025). I'm not sure what caused it to get stuck but it was very cold. Update as of Aug 2024: My MPG went up. I’m averaging anywhere from 16 on regular driving. And around 17.5 to 18 when driving long distance trips. The highest I’ve seen is 18.7.

Product was great, you definitely need two people to put it together. It is wonderful works just as advertised. I really like the look on my ram 2500. I do recommend this tonneau retractable cover. Takes a bit of space away but the sacrifice is worth it. I may put one on my ram 1500 short bed. The seal is good and it’s rained a a few times but no water has gone in. The lock is a bit tricky if you don’t read the instructions but once you figure it out it is easy. Installation was easy quality is good and fits very well.

A little difficult to install. Took 1.5hrs for 2 people but once it’s in very awesome product the video skips a lot of the detailed steps! A lot of things should and shouldn’t go on before placing in the bed! Definitely recommend watching the video for a guide! Instructions included are pointless tbh. Overall very high quality from the packaging to durability!

This cover has transformed our truck. The installation was easy and the video instructions very clear. The quality of all the components is very high. Provides sturdy base and security. All the seals are tight and with the drainage connections expect to remain completely dry. Took me a while to figure out the lock but that was user error. There is a video which explains how to operate which again was great. Highly recommend and very happy.

It doesn't stay latched. The lock is pointless, it doesn't do anything. The parts are cheap and all mislabeled.

I have had this for almost a year now. The instructions took a bit to figure out at first, but then it turned out to be easier than it seemed. I installed the two side pieces then installed it onto the bed. I was pretty careful to square up the sides to the bed and roller section which has allowed the cover to retract smoothly. I took heed to previous reviews and I am careful with the release lever to move it to the unlock position and back to the middle lock position (where it locks to each partial open or full closed latch point) and it has been perfectly fine. I open this several times per week so I'd say it has held up pretty good. Can not complain one bit for the price. And it is actually better than a back-flip (style and brand) that cost twice as much. I don't care for the logo being sort of goofy sounding and so pronounced, but then never removed that because they did after all make a good product.

I received my cover as promised. The item came in (2) boxes. The large box contained the cover roller and metal box shell. The smaller box contained the side rails. The large box was not damaged but the metal surrounding the roller cover was severely damaged. This had to be placed into the container this way. I did take it apart and straighten the metal the best I could. I wanted to return and get a replacement but according to the app, returning and getting a refund was the only option. The bent metal is bright Aluminum so i painted it Flat Black to hide the imperfections. The cover seems to be a quality cover. Time will tell. The instructions are terrible, better have some prior knowledge of these type covers or installing will definitely be a challenge.

2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn. Packaged nicely and all small parts were neatly labeled and packaged separately. Installation was not easy but not super difficult. The hardest part was getting the side rails lined up with the top cover and the box that they are bolted to, lining up the grooves and slots while trying to put the bolts in. Once that part was done, everything else went smoothly. For Ram owners with the 5' 7" bed... definitely put in the optional aluminum "L" bracket at the front of the bed. I have owned a more expensive cover from a national brand, I must say that this cover seems superior to that one, especially for the price. Well built, sleek and I especially like the locking mechanism. I only worry about the single pulling point and strap strength. But I'll update as necessary.
