FAQ — Access Cover

Which ACCESS Cover Has the Best Weather Protection for a 1997 F-250?

F-250 Owner: I sent an email requesting a price on an ACCESS Tonneau Cover and I am calling back because I have some questions and I don't necessarily need the ACCESS brand either. I am going to go on a trip and I am going to get a pop-up for my 1997. I got a Rhino Lining on my truck, so I am wondering how that's going to work as far as sealing the cover.

F-250 Owner: Yeah, it's a 1997 F-250 RBS and it's a 9-foot bed.

F-250 Owner: And so, there's also a seal kit and that is that they sit pretty much on the rim of the bed where they attach and they don't hang over or go out to the edge of the rail? And I would like to make-I'd like to have it where I've got it sealed fairly well from the weather. It's not going to be totally waterproof, I accept that, but I'd like to...is the seal kit available for that particular cover?

F-250 Owner: Okay. And so, I've researched a little, and it doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between covers. Can you, maybe I'm viewing it correctly but it seems like all the different brands-and I need a roll-up. I need a fold-up one and I got a huge Snake hitch in my truck so I can't have a 3 piece fold up. I need it to actually roll up but I do want some rigidity in it.

F-250 Owner: So, is the higher profile going to make a difference?

F-250 Owner: So, it's really storage more than anything else.

F-250 Owner: Right, got it. So, the vinyl lining would not be a problem.

F-250 Owner: Okay. And what, how much is the seal kit?

F-250 Owner: Oh, okay. So, you've quoted a price on the long bed. I'm looking at the email you sent me.

F-250 Owner: Right, and tell me about your Angry Elephant Brand?

F-250 Owner: Oh, okay. Well, I wasn't sure. I was looking at a review online that talked about the Angry Elephant and I was just curious to know about that one as well. How long is, how good is the price quote good for?

F-250 Owner: Yeah, okay. And so, the cover is vinyl? Is that a commercial-grade, like vinyl?

F-250 Owner: Yeah, it is a high quality Tonneau Cover?

F-250 Owner: Yes. What about other brands on the market? I see some have fabric and stuff like that but I can't see those things lasting as good as the vinyls.

F-250 Owner: Yeah, okay. Okay, well are there any other? I know the Original, but what about the low-profile one? Is it about the same price?

F-250 Owner: What does the five-year warranty cover?

F-250 Owner: Okay. And that has the aluminum slats that go across?

F-250 Owner: Yeah. And when they say load or weight capacity, that doesn't mean a lot. Can you give me an idea... Would it support a foreign snow bed?

F-250 Owner: Or? Okay, so it would. How many pounds do you think it would support?

F-250 Owner: Oh, okay. Well let me check with my wife because we are going to be pulling a camper on our next trip, but it would be nice to put some stuff in our truck and have it covered.

What is the Best Tonneau Cover for a 2018 GMC Sierra with an 18 inch Toolbox?

GMC Sierra Owner: I went online last night to check out tonneau covers, and I'm interested in the Access cover.

GMC Sierra Owner: I'm calling you because you quoted me on a price. I need it for 2018 Sierra or GMC Sierra 1500 and it's a 5'8 bed. I'm getting the toolbox tonneau cover so I have an 18 inch toolbox in there.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. Now this is an Access cover, right Peter?

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay and this tonneau cover should fit the truck description that I gave you, correct?

Peter: Yes.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. All good, then I want to go ahead and order that Access Toolbox cover.

Peter: Okay. So I'll get this shipped out today. You should receive it early next week. You're gonna get an email confirmation here in just a second. Have a great day!

Is a Folding or Roll-Up Cover Better for a 2017 Ford F-350?

F-350 Owner: I'm looking for Access Laredo, if you have that.

F-350 Owner: 2017 F-350 with an eight foot bed.

F-350 Owner: Do you know a whole lot about them? I mean is it a hard, what's the difference between the fold up and the roll up? Other than the roll up give you more room, but is that how it works?

F-350 Owner: When you use the fold up, how much of the front can't you use? When it folds, do you get the last three feet, is that something like that or?

F-350 Owner: About two and a half feet. But the fold up would probably be a little stronger with a snow load or something. Does it has slats across?

F-350 Owner: It would have a little more, okay. Do any of them lock?

F-350 Owner: On the roll ups also?

F-350 Owner: Okay. I guess, well, what do you have for an Access then in a fold up? What do you carry?

F-350 Owner: Extang it's called?

F-350 Owner: Trifecta 2.0. what would that run, I guess for?

F-350 Owner: Okay. And do you ship out right away then when I order or how does that work?

F-350 Owner: What else do you have in the fold up? Just that Extang?
