I just purchased my new 2015 F-150 Lariat and immediately started looking at ways to protect it while still having functionality. My dad's truck had a hard 1 piece cover which was always in the way, and the velco/soft covers just sounded like a bad idea. In the end I was debating between a tri-fold and the Paragaon. Why did I choose Paragon? Pretty much the same functional reasons as everyone else here but in the end it came down to reading how well Paragon treats their customers and reading their interactions on the forums - that meant a lot to me. The items were delivered and had been nicely packed and protected. Installation was very easy to follow, especially with the excellent videos that compliment the instructions. It took my wife and I about 4 hours, only because we were fighting mosquito's and I was being very critical of every detail making sure to measure twice and all that. I purchased the cover with the dual deadbolt system and would recommend that to everyone - it adds a little more strength (IMO) to the whole cover. The cover has been installed for a few weeks, through 100+ degree weather and a torrential downpour. While the cover isn't 100% water tight, its very effective at keeping out just about all of it. The heat though, will bake whatever is left in the back of the truck and because of how relatively air-tight the cover is, the next time you open the cover or tailgate, be prepared for a nice smell :) Finally a few other tips. I have the Ford bed divider, it will not work in the clips closest to the the cap due to the down-rails for the Cover - they are in the way; however the divider fits fine toward the tailgate and does not obstruct the cover. The truck bed was sprayed with a Linex liner prior to installing the cover. There is very little length needed to adjust the down rails, I would replace the long screws they give you with some shorter ones. Are we happy with this truck bed cover choice? Absolutely!

We needed something that was secure and researched several options before going with Peragon, and I am so glad we did. The product arrived quickly and was installed in no time. The cover really tops off this vehicle. We picked Peragon due to it being made in the USA, the superior quality that we viewed in the videos and the affordable price. The locking feature is great and we could not be happier with the look.. Dilworth Police Department

I'll start off by saying that the cover is great and fulfills it's function beautifully. However, and this is obviously only my opinion, installation is not as easy as advertised. Just for the record I watched all 14 You Tube videos. Aligning the rails isn't that easy and I couldn't mount the brackets on my truck bed at the point the manual said to do so. I had to choose a point a full 2 inches off the mark. This caused the gas springs to hit the bracket when trying to close the cover. I had to use a Dremel tool to trim the bracket. My question is 'Why is there no telephone support on a weekend'? I'm just wondering if it's too much to ask for maybe a four hour window on a Saturday where telephone support could be offered. I would think that most people select a weekend for install as we work during the week.

A perfect 10 on all features. I did install and adjust all 4 mount points for the frame about 3 times to get it perfect, but when completed, the cover functions just as easy as the web site video depicted. I am very pleased with the function and looks. Already getting compliments on it and questions on how to buy one. Good quality so far and fair price compared to similar lockable bed cover products. I installed on a 2015 GMC Canyon and it fits like a glove.

We are so excited about our new Peragon Truck Bed cover we just couldn’t wait to tell you about it! We recently purchased a 2014 Ford F-150 and really wanted a nice tonneau cover for the 5'6" truck bed. We researched a number of different options. We previously had another type of bed cover on our last truck, but wanted to try something different.
We surely liked the Peragon Truck Bed Cover as it was solid aluminum. We live near the ocean so were looking for durability in the salty air. We loved the sleek look of the Peragon covers, and the retractability on sealed ball bearing rollers. We were thrilled to see that Peragon uses an Eco friendly process to produce their covers, and they are a family-owned American company! There were excellent reviews and amazing service support offered on the website. After a lot of discussion and prayer, we decided to go for it!
We were pleased to quickly receive the boxes from Peragon with our new tonneau cover. We had a relatively easy installation following the online videos along with the handwritten instructions. Now, we were eager to start using our new truck bed cover and hit the beach!
However...
To our surprise, after retracting the cover, when we went to flip up the bed extender we had purchased with our truck, it hit the sides of the truck bed cover.
Upon further investigation, we found we could install a spacer on each side of the back of the truck bed. We learned we could readily adjust the size of the bed extender by loosening the bolts and cutting the inner tube. It was actually constructed with two tubes fit inside one other to effortlessly modify the size of the bed extender. With the expert help of our friend Marty, we condensed the size of the bed extender so it would easily clear the side rails, hence solving the problem!
Now we have the best of both worlds. We feel we truly have a custom, quality product with the Peragon Truck Bed Cover over the AMP Research bed extender on our new truck. Now we can make plans to meet you at the beach where we can lock up all of your belongings under our secure Peragon Bed Cover and hit the waves for a superb time together! Surf’s Up with Peragon!

GREAT product. Installed it about a year or so ago, best beauty/functionality/exterior body upgrade I've done to the truck. Works great. ONLY two issues...the plastic clip provided for the pull strap broke on it's first attempt. I simply tied a knot in it instead, works flawlessly since. The other is the rubber end-caps, one fell off due to the pressure put on it from the tailgate cap since the tolerances on this thing are pretty tight (that's a good thing), but Peragon is sending two replacement pieces right away with a suggestion of how to put less pressure on the piece from the tailgate cap...cut the end cap flaps down a little bit! Great service with no questions asked from a made in USA product. Can't be beat with a stick anywhere else. Really.

I have been a truck owner my entire life.
I have tried it all, no cover, soft cover, folding cover and now the Peragon.
First not having to take the truck to someone else to touch it, that to me is a huge plus you never know what they are doing when your not watching. The installation was as easy as described, I'm sure the customer support is awesome but I had no need, the directions are very detailed and the youtube videos tell the story.
Everyone loves my truck, the first thing they say is "where did you get that cover, let me see it work".
If your hesitating at all don't, great value.

The installation fairly easy and took about 11/2 to 2 hrs to complete. I did call Peragon's customer service when I was first setting the cover into the track, I wasn't sure how to set it in. One call and my question was answered, and the cover works perfectly even with my fifth wheel installed. One other thing it looks good, see for yourself.

I waited a couple of months to give my review so I could validate my findings. I have a 2014 F150 with a 3.7L V6. I was disappointed with the fuel consumption when I purchased the new truck, but since I purchased the Peragon cover I couldn’t be happier with the truck. I bought the cover mostly for security and to store luggage.
I can’t say it took me a couple of hours to install, mostly because I am particular and try to abide by an old carpenters law of “Measure Twice and Cut Once”. It took me about 4 hours to install the cover, silicone a couple of voids between cover and bed, and install the tailgate seal kit.
However, I recently travelled to North Carolina to visit family and brought back approximately 1150 lbs. of furniture grade lumber. Before I installed the cover, I typically averaged 18.6 mpg on the highway. My round trip to NC was 2500 miles and I averaged 21.84 mpg overall. I thought that was fantastic since I was winding through Appalachian Mountains and came back a truck with a load of lumber.
My daily commute is 43 miles with a mixture of highway and in town driving. Houston freeways are famous for congestion and lots of freeway “stop n go” traffic. For the last couple of weeks I have calculated I am getting 17.4 mpg overall, whereas I was getting 16 mpg before purchasing the cover.

Should have definitely contacted the company before I purchased. Never was satisfied with the product or support. Not angry just wary for the next product I buy sight unseen.

Please note: The mounting brackets are slotted to allow for flexibility when mounting the cover. The mounting brackets can be shifted front and back to accommodate a wide variety of installations.

top is extremely hard to install. it is almost impossible for one person to put the cover back on after you have removed it. ALL measurements are extremely critical to 1/32 of an inch.. the rubber end caps are poorly designed, one small screw holds them in place and they fall off too easy. the top leaks when it rains. I bought a used topper for $75 and put it on my truck in place of the $699 paragon. I have owned my first and last paragon topper quad fold .

I asked Peragon if they could ship my order sooner because I needed to time to prepare for a road trip. They shipped my order 1 week early which completely met my needs. The installation was fairly simply. Took a little to get it adjusted so that it would operate smooth. The cover is on and it looks fantastic!! Thank you Peragon!

Boy am I glad I waited and researched what truck cover options were out there. I always thought I wanted a fiberglass cover, not sure why, just saw them the most. Then I realized they were not very functional. If I ever wanted to use my bed for hauling I would either have to take it off or leave it partially open. So I started researching multiple options. Then I saw the Peragon cover. The more I looked and compared with other products, the more I knew this was the best cover on the market for me. Then I became a little skeptical as I read all of the high reviews, could they be real? I had early questions and received very detailed answers, even pictures of my truck model with with he cover installed. I received emails after I placed my order with all of the documents I woudl need for the installation. Not only were the instruction truck specific, but there are online videos to help walk you through each step. You can see from the picture the cover fits like a glove and really compliments my truck. I just came back from a 2200 mile trip and used it in both the open and closed positions to fit my situation, even had better gas mileage.

Shopped on-line for 2 hours and stumbled upon Peragon. The price was reasonable, loved how it folded up so I took the risk and ordered it. Installation was difficult, but I followed the steps closely along with the YouTube videos. Friends and family thought the truck bed cover was part of the new design from factory GM!!! Thanks for making a great product.

This cover is amazing. The directions and You Tube videos to help install are full of detail and easy to understand. This is a two person install and can be done by your self as long as your mechanically inclined. I have to say is very water resistance only in a very heavy rain and parked did I see a couple of drips of water inside bed. Easy to open and close once adjusted. I would recommend this bed for anyone it gives your Truck a very high end finished functional look. And looks better than a leather snap down cover when driving down the highway. Worth every last penny. Make sure you get the tailgate seal kit and stainless steel kit well worth the price and will make your truck bed last much longer.

After Months of careful research, I selected the Peragon cover over the rest. I was impressed with the owner and his new approach to customer satisfaction. Reviews from 2006 and earlier were less than stellar, but Heath stepped up and acknowledged the problems and offered those folks a solution and in many cases they excepted and were very happy. I also understand that some people once dissatisfied will just never be happy no matter what is done for them. Anyway, Instructions were easy to follow along with the YouTube videos and were custom to my truck. I love my new cover and it only took around 2 hours by myself (I recommend getting help) to install and it looks and works great. I also installed a Bedrug bed liner at the same time and they look great together. I have already had people stop me in parking lots to inquire about my new Peragon cover, (just don't see this kind of cover in small town Oregon). I have also noticed an increase in fuel economy which is nice because my wife tends to be a little heavy footed. Thanks for the call after delivery, this has been a fantastic buying experience, I will recommend you to all my fiends and family
