[QUOTE="Mackie, post: 15820268, member: 4738"] I had Truxedo LoPro soft rollup on my 2006 F150 5.5' bed. After 5 years the vinyl was noticeably faded. The spring tension system worked fine. The cover had slight leaks at the front corners. I went with the Access Lorado soft rollup on my 2011 F150 5.5' bed. The vinyl held up great - looked almost new at 115K miles. The tension system also worked fine and never needed adjustment. The cover also leaked at the front corners - even after some small dabs of silicone. I then went with a Lomax hard trim-fold on my 2018 F150 5.5' bed. This cover is relatively new to market and also an Access product. There was some thought in this cover design - particularly how the panels lock together to compress the perimeter seal and ease of cover removal. This cover is by far the driest of the 3 I've had. It's also the lowest profile of any of the 3 - the finish looks great. The panels are also solid aluminum alloy - note several hard tri-fold covers are thin skins over a form core and can dent fairly easily. The cover uses bonded on hinges - some early ones had issues - current ones have been reliable. The continuous hinge means no leaks and the cover is really nice to clear snow off of and wash/dry since the top surface is completely flat (no hardware or exposed seals). [/QUOTE]
