Extang Trifecta
Tonneau Cover
Review
Ken Bishop
A lot of these tonneau covers have been sold. Probably because they are
inexpensive and they give you great access to your truck bed just by folding up the three piece design. The
trifecta is custom made to fit the make model and year of the vehicle it is intended for. This cover is made of
heavy duty vinyl sewn to an aluminum frame. This particular cover uses spring clamps to latch closed at the
tailgate. It is kept secured with straps whiled opened up to the cab. You can drive with it opened or closed. This
tonneau cover is shipped fully assembled and installs quickly and easily with no drilling. You get a 10 year tarp
warranty and lifetime on the frame. Of course as with other lids it improves fuel mileage. So if you want quick
easy access to your truck bed and without the heavy cost of a retractable, this cover is probably for you. Although
security isn’t as good as a retractable, it does keep your cargo out of sight out of mind. If you have an over the
rail bed liner you will probably have to do some minor cutting to get this cover to fit.
What others are saying about the Extang Trifecta Tonneau Cover!
No stretching, no snaps and completely removes in less than five minutes. You can’t
beat that…. A great cover that is easy to install and use, their may be possible paint damage along the bed rails
after time due to wear and tear…. Everything is great about this cover including cost, installation and quality,
that is why I have purchase my second and third one…. Super easy to remove and put back on. As for looks about an
eight on a scale from one to ten. Easy to install and sturdier than the Torzo…. One person complained the cover
didn’t quite completely cover the stake holes, about a half inch left but still praised his cover…. Another person
loved his tonneau cover but had complained about two missing clips. After then receiving the clips one bolt
stripped quite easily but was overnighted a new clip…. Someone was very happy with their cover but said they had to
buy extra weather stripping to go behind on the bed rails below the rear window…. This person speaks he did a lot
of checking around before buying. The fit was good and it literally went on in 5 minutes no problems except... The
rear spring clamps would not stay clipped up inside the aluminum arch rails. when you folded cover up, the clamps
would swing down toward the cover unless a person on each side held them up. Extang is aware of problem and after 3
calls to them he ended up crimping the rails tighter together as they suggested to remedy the problem…. One person
says he had this cover on his Tacoma for 3 weeks now and it works flawlessly and it was great with very little or
no leaking in very hard rains. It has even been said that it stayed cool under the tonneau after being in the sun
all. There were a few complaints on how after a while there was a little puffiness where the Extang trifecta
tonneau cover folded. One person gives this advice “Be sure to follow the directions on the bars that warn you
about the clamps. They should be clipped into the bars and as far to the sides as possible before folding the cover
to avoid damage."
In Summary
Hey come on. If you your hinge is covered with the soft material you are bound to
get some puffiness. I just wanted you to know what to expect. Over all most people who purchased this tonneau
absolutely loved their cover and how easy it was to install and the price they paid for it. A few did not like it
because they thought it was very light weight, cheaply made so to speak. Others called this a benefit. They were
after having snap up covers and loved how easy it was to get access to their truck bed with the trifecta. Some were
after having a fiberglass tonneau and loved this one because it was so light and easy to take completely off. Many
people have commented on how dry their bed was staying after hard rains. Just think about what cover will suit you
as far as how and what you use your truck bed for. You can get a free report to help you decide what type of cover
