I found the installation really easy compared to other tonneau covers I’ve used. Just followed the step-by-step guide, and it went smoothly on my Tacoma.
That’s awesome! Do you think it would fit well on a 2022 model? I’ve heard differing opinions about fit across different years.
I installed mine on a 2022 Tundra and it fit perfectly. Just ensure you check the measurements in the instructions. Very snug fit!
That’s good to hear! I was worried about the fit on my older model. Any tips for ensuring it goes on straight?

Make sure to lay it out on the bed first before tightening anything down. That helped me avoid misalignment! Also, a second set of hands can really help.

I wish I had someone to help me! I ended up dropping a bolt into the bed. Still searching for it!
Haha! I can relate. I ended up losing tools during my installation too. It’s like they vanish into the truck bed!

I’m curious how it holds up in bad weather. Have any of you had issues with leaks after installation?
I’ve driven through heavy rain a few times, and it held up well with no leaks. Just ensure all seals are pressed down securely during installation.

I’m impressed by the ease of installation for such a sturdy cover. Just wish it came in more colors! Anyone else find the black a bit boring?
Haha, I hear you! Why not some snazzy colors? But seriously, it’s a solid cover regardless of color!

Definitely! Sometimes practicality wins over aesthetics in truck accessories.
I’ve had my Gator Recoil tonneau cover for about six months now, and it has been incredibly easy to use. I can open and close it in seconds, which is a big plus for someone like me who is always on the go.
That’s great to hear! Does it feel secure enough when locked? I’ve read mixed reviews about that.

In terms of security, I feel pretty safe with the Gator cover. I’ve parked my truck in some sketchy areas, and I haven’t had any issues with theft yet. The lock mechanism is solid.

That’s reassuring, Michael! How well does it protect against bad weather?
I’ve driven in heavy rain and the cover kept everything completely dry in the bed. No water leaks at all! I really appreciate that feature.
Does anyone use their Gator cover for hauling taller items? I’m curious if the tension holds up well.
I’ve had no problem with taller items! The adjustable tension keeps everything in place, and I can still secure it with straps for extra safety.
