Hey guys, spring is coming and I'm in the paralysis by over analysis phase on pulling the trigger on one of these two bed covers. I know they've been discussed in this forum before because that's how I discovered them but looking for help in me making a decision.
I've got a 2021 Power Wagon WITH Ramboxes.
On one hand, I think Retrax will look better with Ramboxes. I think the flush look will look better than the terraced look of the DiamondBack. I think the Retrax will give me a little bit better bed access but I qualify that in that I'm not tall enough to reach far into the bed from the sides.
I like the load bearing weight of the DiamondBack. I can see using it as a photography platform for my daughter's soccer games, sitting on it with lawn chairs, using it like scaffolding for hanging Christmas lights, even fishing from it. I don't have ATVs do that use is lost upon me.
My number one reason for either of these covers is security. I want a secure place to keep stuff when traveling. I'm not sure which is better. I suspect the DiamondBack but I don't know that for sure.
Weather resistance would be a nice to have. Not sure which is more water resistant. Maybe neither.
So any input from you guys which would help nudge me one way or the other would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
