Thanks for posting this link @Tekoma. Anyone have experience with the Lomax Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau series?:
I don’t have experience with Lomax but did see that some (or all???) of their covered have a clip that is stuck to your roof to hold the cover in the upright full open position. This is a showstopper for me. According to Real Truck, the MX4 trifold should be available late April/ early May. I had considered going X4S roll up hard cover but I have a lot of experience with the MX4 and it looks better in my opinion.
I owned one of these on my Canyon. Thought it looked great but had an interesting design flaw. Water would pool in the channels between the metal panels and the adhesive underneath eventually gave way, allowing water to leak into bed. It seemed like normal usage opening/closing the cover put too much stress on those seals and contributed to the failure. Bad design imo. Sold the truck before trying to file a warranty claim.
Good news. Nothing yet on Retrax PRO.... Still pending fulfillment.
UPDATE: Kind of disappointed with RealTruck and Retrax for not mentioning that my order for the 2024 Tacoma Retrax Pro was a "pre-order" and that it's not being released until May 1st. I finally reached someone at Retrax that gave me all the info, but bad biz to keep customers in the dark like that. Tempted to cancel my order and just get it from Amazon after May 1. Not a good first experience with the RealTruck/Retrax people.
Any specific reasons why you went with Sentry CT instead of BAK Revolver X4s?
I looked a lot of comparison reviews between them and the "if you want this, buy the Sentry CT" conclusions all seemed to fit me better than the X4s but really the comparison is pretty close. So ultimately, I went with the Sentry CT because I've used Truxedo LoPro on numerous trucks and just liked them. I'm not super concerned about security which is the one edge the X4s has. I also like the canvas vs vinyl for maintenance and longevity. The X4s also looks like it has a few more fiddly bits that stick into the bed for things to snag on.
RealTruck put the 2024 RetraxPro XR back on its website so it can be ordered again, but they are not available until after May 1 according to Retrax. FYI.
