Looks good on their web site, only thing I see is it will not stand up against the back window to be able to haul a tall load. Real good price ends today.

Thank you Brimee....I noticed that as well with not being able to stand up against the back of the window. In my instance, I felt ok with that. What really caught my attention was this seemed really easy to remove with no tools. Went ahead and purchased with an add on promo code, 650 out the door.

Man that looks nice, really digging the attention to detail and overall build quality from the description and photos. I’ve got a Lomax arriving today. Please report on your findings, so nice to see a solid option out there.

Looks very nice. Report back once you get your hands on it!!

Definitely will keep everyone posted, I have been researching for months, at least 6 months, the only other one I was looking at was Diamondback Switchback but really wanted something that I could remove a little easier.

I bought one about 3 weeks ago and really like it. Like you said, you can’t fold up all 3 sections, but I was ok with that as well. It only took about 15 minutes to install and can be very easily removed as the front section closest to the cab is held down with 2 clamps (one on each side). My only complaint is these clamps are plastic and I could see them eventually getting brittle between the cold and hot weather, but I feel the overall cover design is good. The rear latch brackets are steel and they sandwich via aluminum clamps to the bed rail, so they‘re plenty strong as the latches are plastic anyway. I don’t think the latches being plastic is a bad thing as I think this will keep parts from corroding and rusting in humid weather. I received mine in 3 days, which surprised me as they are in New York and I live in Kentucky. You’ll have to report back your findings as well. I couldn’t find any real world reviews so I rolled the dice but I’d buy it again.

Thank you. I spend alot of time around salt so the less corrosive, the better for me. Make sure to register? Worksport AL3 Pro Quick Latch Hard Tonneau Cover With lifetime warranty, parts should be easy to get if something breaks....but we will see how that goes, I have had Lifetime Warranties on other items but only heard crickets when something broke, lol....like you, I just rolled the dice...EDIT-Just found this , " Worksport Ltd. (Worksport) warranties the products to be free from defects in material and workmanship on all aluminum framing, plastics, and hardware, against manufactures defects after the date of purchase fora a period of 3 years. " My bad, Lifetime Support is listed under "Key Features", not Lifetime Warranty

Update, been a bit so thanks for the patience. Received the cover about a week after purchase, LOVE It!
Install was too easy (made me wonder). Quality was fantastic for my needs, cover does not open all the way to the cab but that was fine for my needs…..sooooo easy to remove, two hand screws….just wow to remove I had a good rainfall test about 10 days after install, heavy rain…..I had some leakage but we are only talking drops and it was at the latch system. I have yet to tighten and check due to time but I have a feeling I just need to tighten up a touch, I over tightened on install but decided to relax so the seams could relax more to form….if that makes sense. For 650 out the door, I am so glad to bite the bullet…..looked at soooooo many covers for many months and extremely happy with this one. Full bed in a minute with complete removal and no channels or crazy install with numerous parts. My bed has a bed liner with tail gate step. I will try and post pics in a few days

thinking about getting one, does it work well with the new tailgate/auto function?

What are your current thoughts on this cover?
Thought the Idea of it being a bed topper over a rail type system would help against leaks.
Wished they had an anchor on the middle panel seems like that would be subject to lifting/rattling with the turbulent air off the cab and over the bed.

So far, I have really liked this cover (for the price I paid).I do agree with you though.... I do wish that I did not have small leaks around the lock latches, I also agree about an anchor/latch in the middle as well, it does move around a little while travelling.

Okay, So i pulled the trigger on this. But if i dont like it i refuse to take responsibility and blame DTT.

Totally understand, lol, life of a man is to take responsibility and take blame, so here I am, my everyday life ?…..it’s been a good cover though, not a Diamondback of course but I truly loved everything about it for my needs, easy install, too easy removal, super low profile, no additional installation rails, It worked 4 me and hope it works for u. If not, I will bow my head and take the blame. Keep me posted on your thoughts after a few weeks of installation.

Got it and had it on for about a week now.
Likes: quick setup, took me longer to line it up how i wanted than anything else. Light enough to remove if needed for full bed access. Doesn't rattle, slim even though its a top mount not on rails, and works well with the auto/pro tail gate.

What i don't like is going to be nit picking. I find the cover shifts based on how tight the clamps are at the cabin. Too tight and cause a very slight bit of a dip on the aluminum panel. I didn't see it till setting sun light bounced off a window on an office building across from my parking garage. (pics) Its so minor that you feel it with your fingers more than visual. I loosened the thumb screws and the panel relaxed back into position. I find if I lift from one side the cover seems to walk itself at the tail gate toward the side im favoring. Im talking about mm's but its enough that the one side wouldn't latch. Today ive adjusted everything slightly. Locking clamps, latches at the tailgate, marked everything with painters tape to see if it walks anymore. Hopefully i found the right amount of tension.

The center panel "could" have a second set of latches mounted like the tailgate panel, but the truck bed walls have a support bulge in the sheet metal and that would directly interfere with how you would secure the bracket to the bed wall. (bet a 6' bed would have no issues). Unless i experience continued issue with the cover getting out of alignment i won't bother trying to figure out a way to add another latch. Anyone wanting to get under id rather they trash the cover and take my crap than dent the bed.

It hasn't rained in Jersey for a few weeks now so don't know how water tight it is. but its keeping the dust of leaf blowing out of the back.

I agree w/ DTT i know he was very concerned with my opinion

Truck goes to the detailer for ceramic coated this week. Hopefully i can grab fresh pics right after (without the dip) before leaf blower dust settles.
