Gator Recoil Retractable Truck Bed Tonneau Cover | G30383 | Fits 2017 - 2025 Ford Super Duty 6' 10" Bed (81.9")

For our last truck, we bought a fold up Gator bed cover. It treated us well but did end up stretching for water and what not and so my husband wanted to upgrade for his new truck. He settled on this model and is very happy with it. He did the majority of installation himself but he did need a spare hand for lifting.

Not a bad install you will need a second hand but it can be done alone it will just take longer, the instructions lead you to install the latch points before the clamps that tie the rails down to the bed if you do this you will need to remove them to install the clamps in between the latch points. I say latch specifically because the description says this unit locks and although it may latch on to an adjustable point of your choosing it by no means locks. Once it’s all together it looks good nice and clean. It may just be the super duty 6’10” but it is not water tight at the tailgate side found that out after a wash it wasn’t drenched or anything but there was a noticeable amount of water along the tailgate and edge of the bed. I gave this cover 4 stars cause it does the job at a fair price, I would have given 5 if it would have had an actual lock and if the instructions had mentioned the steps stated above. All in all its a good buy

I have had this cover (Gator Recoil Retractable Tonneau cover G30383) for about 3 1/2 years now. It started out as a good cover. But, it has deteriorated significantly since the beginning. I do not normally right many reviews, and certainly not bad ones. But I feel in this case, it it warranted. The first issue I started having was with the rear seal. I live in Texas and the truck is not garaged, so I am sure the heat and UV from the sun is the factor. But this is no excuse. After about 2 years, the rear seal (the one that seals against the tailgate) started deteriorating....the material actually breaking down. It has now reached the point that you do not want to touch that seal either with your hand or clothing because the seal will leave a tar-like residue behind. To remove that goo from your skin or clothing is difficult. I contacted the company, RealTruck (evidently the owner of 'GatorCovers.com'), and was given only one option...purchase a new seal and slat for over 100 dollars....I did not like this option, for a piece of rubber, this seemed ridiculously high. Of course the warranty had run out. The second issue.....The cover at first slid ok, but now will not go into the canister at the bulkhead the last 32". You can put your weight against it, push and pull, wiggle it, but you are not going to get to go in. Note: The slats are not damaged, they are not binding against each other, the rails are the correct distance apart and are parallel. Something else is preventing the last 32" of cover from properly sliding into the canister. Again, no longer in warranty....the option given to me by RealTruck...buy a new cover (just the cover part) for $700 -$800....in all fairness, their customer service agent did agree to lower that price to $600 or so. With the cover priced at around $800 - $900, again, a bit hard to digest. Plus there are no guaranties that these issues are just going to reoccur 2 years (just beyond the warranty of course) down the road. I am disappointed in RealTruck, and don't believe that they have worked very hard to resolve my issues. They boast great customer service and satisfaction. At this point, I don't agree. If anything changes, I will be glad to post again.

One rail does not stay aligned with unit and it is obvious it has been used before there were extra hole drill out in unit self taping screw had signs of previous being used and missing hardware , And plastic guide were all cut up where rails has been installed on it and box was taped up with duck tape Too much trouble to remove now but hated I paid full price for used product

Well made and great for a 5 th wheel hitch because of the ability to create 2 separate stopping points for access. Adds a nice appearance to the truck. Opens easy from either side. This is my choice after having owned …folding covers……back flip design folding both directions ……factory models …..and roll up!

I ordered for an F-250 and the install was pretty easy. After about 2 weeks I noticed the cover on the driver side fell out of the track. I got it out back in, but it happened multiple times. I even tried to adjust the rails but kept happening. Sent back and will be going with a different manufacturer.

Followed the instructions and watched a few videos of the install and it went together in about an hour. Not difficult to put together. Only reason it isn't 5 stars is that I would have liked it to slide a bit more smoothly in the track. I used some white lithium grease on the tracks and it smoothed it out a bit. Seems to seal well, we have some large storms coming this week, will see how it holds out water.

I think this is a great cover for the money and delivery went smooth. The durability I give a four star because not enough time has gone by for me to give it longevity but it has a 2 year warranty and other videos I’ve seen tells me it will last. I went to Florida and it rained heavily and my bed stayed dry so I was really pleased with this product.
