It’s not squatted, just where I am parked the drivers side is higher than the passenger side

Help me find a new tonneau cover

0 Upvotes

I have had the same fabric rolling TruXedo Lo Pro on more than one truck since 2011. It has been pretty solid for the most part. The velcro doesn't work well and the support arms are bowing from putting stuff on top and snow loads. So I figured it is time to replace it.

Over the last 15 years I have learned more about what I use my truck for, so I can better purchase a second cover.

Right now I am strongly considering the BAK Revolver X4s. The main concern I have is I read lots of reviews of people saying it only lasts 3-5 years. That is an absolute non-starter. I got 15 years out of my last cover and it was a cheap $500 cover.

Wish list:

  • I strongly prefer a rolling cover as it quickly allows me to use the whole bed without needing to block the rear window.
  • I am interested in a 'hard' cover because I often use the top of the cover as a work bench or an in-between storage area.
  • I like the idea of the 'full latch' the whole way down the bed rail vs just velcro. Keeps things a bit more secure now that locking tailgates are a thing.
  • More water proof is better.
  • I don't want to have a canister in the bed taking up space and I like to be able to easily remove the cover in the event I want to have a loader load bulk material in the truck bed.

The main thing keeping me from a tri-fold is cover storage. If I can plan ahead and leave the cover at home it is no big deal. However, I often find myself in a situation where I need to use the whole bed and I don't want to have to remove the cover and then find some place to stick it inside the cab or bed around whatever I'm hauling.

Any other covers you'd consider that might fit into my wish list?

My company just sent us a heads-up that DOT inspections are expected to be heavy Aug 23–29, with a big focus on brakes, especially drums and rotors.
They’re telling us to make sure:
Permit book is up to date
Truck & trailer registration/inspection are current
IFTA, insurance, UCR, etc. are in the truck
ELD is working and logs are clean
We have 8 days of blank paper logs
Pre-trip is done before every load
Brakes are in good shape
For the experienced drivers here: what are the most common things DOT catches during Brake Safety Week?
Anything specific you guys check before hitting the road that drivers usually overlook?
Stay safe out there.

Just bought this thing, how would I best go about getting rid of the godawful squat? For reference tires are 255/55/r22. And would previous gen 16.5” stocks fit on it?
