Keep Your Stuff Safe and Secure
I was looking for a great Tonneau Cover to secure all of my production gear. And I researched for a good month of reading reviews looking at the pros and cons of each of the tonneau covers out on the market to really see which one would suit my needs best.
I knew I didn’t want to spend well over a thousand dollars on our traditional hard top cover because I needed the flexibility attractable cover offers since the amount of gear constantly varies. Sometimes I have a lot of gear than others hardly any and I didn’t want the added hassle of constantly having to remove the cover from one day to the next. I was looking for something that retracted quickly and easily but had the security to deter any potential threat.
One of the little things that I was most impressed with was that the installation manual was trucks specific, meaning I wasn’t reading about how the installation goes on a typical truck bed. It was catered to my specific Nissan Titan. Most companies have generic install guides if they offer the same product for a multitude of applications. Peragons don’t, and I was impressed with that. The total process took about four hours. I would suggest having a friend help out on the install though, as it seemed to go faster with an extra pair of hands, especially when mounting the side rails.
Waterproofing
Once installed, I immediately was eager to do a water leakage test. I closed her up and got the hose out and doused the truck with water. There isn’t one company out there that makes a retractable cover that is 100% waterproof.
I knew going into that, that there is always the possibility of water leaking through somewhere. However, the ability to retract the cover far outweighed that drawback. Upon inspection, I only noticed a tiny bit of water near the rear tailgate, accumulating only in one area on the bottom of the bed. Just goes to show the importance of taking your time when applying that weatherstripping.
A Great Fit
Operation of the cover is really easy. It quickly retracts and closes with minimal effort. I found it easiest to retract the cover when standing alongside the truck bed because once it starts that process, it’s easier to guide it back that way.
When I was doing the grunt work of trying to find a cover, I was incredibly impressed with the prices of Peragon’s covers. Whenever you find a cheaper alternative, there is always that doubt of whether it’s built with the same quality as its competition.
The cover is 100% aluminum with absolutely no cheap vinyl. This makes the cover incredibly strong and durable, yet incredibly lightweight. I love having peace of mind that my gear is locked and secure. Securing the bed is aided by gas struts, which automatically close the cover once it’s close to the tailgate. Once you can’t pull the cover any longer, the final two panels come flush mount with the top of the cover.
The cover takes up barely any room when it’s retracted. There are no canisters that remain there 100% of the time, even when the cover is closed. If I even need more space when hauling something around, the Peragon cover can be quickly and completely removed in less than a minute. The 30-second claim on their website is actually accurate and you could easily do it by yourself since it’s relatively light.
Final Thoughts
In terms of the extra features and options, I received all the extra options available and at the price, I would suggest you do the same. The paint match feature is also done incredibly well. I haven’t noticed any bubbles, peeling, or anything of that nature, and I’ve already used the heck out of this thing. It still looks brand new. All in all, this cover has a lot of flexibility for an affordable price, and I still have the peace of mind that my gear is secure.
