Tonneau Covers

Hey All! I have a 2019 3500 Mega Cab 6’4” bed with Ramboxes on order right now. Looking for a good bed cover. I’m leaning toward the RetraxPRO MX (link below). Anyone have this cover that can provide any reviews?
If someone with Ramboxes can advise which type of bed cover they use and like that would be great too!
I owned the MXPro for three years on an F-150 I had before my 2500. Overall, I was pleased with the operation and durability of the cover. If properly adjusted, it will do a good job of keeping the bed and your gear dry. Vulnerable spots are the seal with the tailgate (again, if properly installed, should be minimal water intrusion) and the seals under the rails. At about the two year point, those seals started to dry rot on me. I'm sure there's a methodology to replace but I didn't pursue. Other disappointing element is the lost space in the front of the truck bed for the storage cylinder. You lose about a foot. Not tragic but something to consider if you do a lot of hauling. Advertisement reads that you get full use of the bed but that only applies to the area six inches or so up from the bed. Also, the area under the cylinder will collect a bunch of crap/debris, kind of just settles in there. Not entirely scratch proof so it helps to keep the top clear of dust/debris. Operation worked well over the three years, still operated smoothly when I traded it in. I'm probably going to buy another one for my 2500, just doing the research to make sure nothing better has come out since I last looked at these. I give it a thumbs up. I would be a bit concerned with the RAM boxes and the cylinder which really restricts space in the truck bed as well as how the rails that the cover slides on are installed with the way the RAM box doors lift up. I'd take a hard look at that before buying.

Just installed one 3 days ago. Rail system a little tricky but love the cover so far.

Just saw the new style mx4 with the new locking mechanism for storing it in the up position and driving the new style can have it open like traditional mx4 backflip resting in the window or let the cover go verticle like the undercover....I like the option and the new locking arms....not sure about scratches tho....
Shine 006 u think that linex coating is gonna hold up to scratch's and can u post some close up and where u got it from and price??

Both are Truck Hero companies and have 5 year warranty. I like the undercover for their seals along the bed rails. The line x is awesome on the flex. I do not think it will scratch easily.
My wife got it for me for Christmas from real truck. I like Bak and had one years ago and it destroyed my cab. I looked into the adjustable locking mechanism but didn’t want to chance it coming lose any and scratching a can again.
both are great covers.

My truck came with the spray in liner from factory so it is a little more matte than the premium linex on the panels. It does match the rail caps for the most part. We have had constant steady-hard rain all day today and only 2 leak locations and they were tiny trickles. No water actually on the bed of truck.
Was looking at my bed from where the cab is and it has a contour it's not straight. Was wondering because the undercover has a straight edges and the bed is curved
does it leak there?
And does the aluminum make contact/rest on the edges of the bed or does the weather strip only sit on the bed?? Hope that makes sense

The weather strip is placed straight across the bed and the aluminum of the bedcover rests on top of the weather stripping. Mine is contoured also close the cab but edge towards bed is straight. I haven’t had hardly any leaking. Only a small trickle. The video on real truck is really good for getting an idea of the install. So far I love the armor flex. Thinking of adding bedrug next.
I ordered a Peragon cover a couple days ago. Meant to post the coupon code on here if anyone wants to take advantage. I got mine for $808 shipped with the premium package.
19FOR2019 = 19% off but you have to choose the premium package. plus free shipping.
I will update once installed but have had this cover in the past and really liked it.

I've never seen one of those up close. Based on the video... it looks like a neat design. Looking forward to seeing your review once it's on.
