Have had this cover on my tundra since a week after purchasing my truck. It’s been 3.5 years now and I love the cover. Like you said a bed cover doesn’t need to be expensive I just want my cargo protected from the elements. Let me tell you that this cover for me has let little to no water into the bed and I’ve been so dam impressed with it. Best cover I’ve ever bought. All I added with the cover was a bed rug and some extra tailgate weather stripping to prevent water getting into the bed. I love having total bed access for large items and being able to see my cargo. I hate the more expensive flip covers where your entire rear view is blocked.
well said, I did have some random water intrusion last month going to the beach, I think it really depends on the angle of the vehicle since sometimes the water just flows back in, but thats expected since no trucks bed is 100% sealed
