Tonneau covers that allow the auto tailgate to open without help

[TxSeoul]

Weathertech tonneau bedcover doesn’t need to be opened for the bedcover to open and close. Price is comparable to most others about 900-1k. Got mine with the floor mats, bug deflector. Solid seal as far as rain

Among the retractables are two types: those that have an internal release and require the tailgate to be opened to open the tonneau, and those that have a dedicated key to open them.
I bought a RetraxXR Pro for exactly that reason. The cover and the tailgate are entirely independent of each other.
Some people dont like that because it means another key to carry around.
So yes, with at least the Retrax retractable, the tonneau does not interfere with the tailgate.

TruXedo Lo Pro Tonneau Cover

Lifetime warranty, so far seals great

I have a Leer Pace Edwards retractable hard tonneau cover. Tailgate operates independently of the cover, but the tailgate does have to be down for the cover to roll back. I like it that way. No extra key to carry around.

There is a bit of friction on the rubber seal between the cover and the tailgate, so it won't always drop free on its own, but doesn't require any real effort to get it to drop in those situations.

I have the soft Truxedo TruXport soft roll up. No issues with auto tailgate up/down

Same here. TruXport soft roll up is my favorite (and is pretty much the least expensive option) and no problems with the auto tailgate.

I have an Access original soft tonneau on my 21 Platinum with the power tailgate and I have no problem with the gate opening or closing.

My Pro x15 is like 75% success rate on working with the auto drop. Super cold or nose down hill much less likely.

My Backflip MX4 on a new platinum tailgate (non-PAT) works perfectly both up and down from either the key fob or dash button. Not cheap at $1,199 installed plus tax but a well made hard tri-fold. It always comes down to getting what you pay for and the cheap man pays the most. Good luck and I hope you find one you're happy with.

Um I'm very happy with my Prox15 which is also a higher end soft roll up by tuxedo. The handful of times it didn't drop are inconsequential to the rest of the covers functionality.

I had a Truxedo tri-fold soft tonneau on my '16 F150 and it held up very well. I opted for the MX4 to hopefully gain more security over the soft models. Might at least keep the honest people honest if they have to work harder.

Personally I'm not a big fan of trifolds. The hard covers for sure provide some decent security but I really don't put valuables in my bed over night when I'm not around. I'm mainly loading bikes and dirt bikes so a easy and fast removal is my ticket. I also love the woven fabric vs vinyl.

Does it seal and keep water out?

Short of a cap or different style of cover that seals over the bed rails (e.g., Diamondback), none will keep 100% of water out. That being said, I only get water when washing the truck and have a hose directed at the seals, the bed is dry during normal rain. A lot of it likely depends on the installation.

You will get water in around the sides of the tailgate regardless, as that is not sealed to begin with.

Hello, I have the Leer Quad Fold HF650M low profile tonneau cover. What I like about this one: Low profile, unlock from either side when folding, quad fold permits tonneau cover to stay in place with a fifth wheel hitch, can be halfway folded, all the way folded (all panels on top of each other) and finally uprise folded near back cab window.

I use a Tuxedo Pro X15 soft roll up. My tailgate is oblivious to the tonneau cover and works just. My friend had a DiamondBack for awhile and his too was oblivious to the tonneau cover.

Does anyone have a tonneau cover with an auto lift/drop tailgate..

I was with my brother, looking at his and he has unlock the cover and raise or flip it to unlock the tailgate. Defets the purpose of having an auto tailgate.

Any list somewhere that might point this out?

I have a UnderCover Ultra Flex and it works great. This is my 3rd Undercover I've had on different truck.
