2022 Ram 2500
Love the concept of the Peragon cover and the fact it is made in America.
Quality of product: Overall quality is pretty good, packaging was good. Only complaint on quality is the piece of sheetmetal that connects the side rails at the front of the bed is pretty flimsy and the weather seal is inadequate.
Installation: I have installed covers on every truck I have owned and this one was the most difficult. Excellent instruction videos are available. After following instructions exactly the cover would not seal at the tailgate. Contacted Peragon for installation help and was told to decrease the spacing at tailgate 1/16" at a time until the cover seal will meet the tailgate. A sixteenth of an inch is pretty tight tolerance for a bed cover but I readjusted cover and seal still did not meet tailgate. Too make this adjustment you basically have to start all over with the install each time you want to make an adjustment. After the 2nd attempt failed I adjusted the rails for zero clearance at the tailgate and the seal mates pretty well. Total install time was about 4 hours.
Cover Operation & Performance: When closed the cover takes a fair amount of force to begin the opening process. It is difficult to get enough force applied and I am 5'10" and my truck is stock height. If I was shorter or if my truck bed was higher I probably could not get cover open without a step stool. Once started the cover is easy to push open and folds nicely in its rack. The gas shocks do a good job of holding the cover together when opened. As others have noted need to make sure your cargo does not interfere with the folding of the cover. I put a cargo bar just behind the cover ramps at a height that is the same as the bottom of the ramps. This way I can use the space under the cover for flat items but taller items cannot slide forward and block operation of the cover. Closing the cover is easy with the pull strap and the locking mechanism works without issue.
Leak Test: It leaks! A slight spray from the hose and there is significant leakage at the front corners, slight leakage along the rails and moderate leakage at the tailgate corners. Compare to other covers I would have to rate this cover below average for leakage. I believe that most of the leakage at the front could be solved with a stiffer sheetmetal front piece and a better seal (maybe a bulb style of strip like the type you install to seal the tailgate). Also note that since this cover folds into the bed any water or snow on the cover gets deposited in the bed as you open the cover.
Other comments: I really wanted to love this cover and thought it would compare well to other "premium" covers. I like the security it provides and the fact that I can use it with my 5th wheel hitch installed. Unfortunately it falls short based on my experience with other covers in the following areas. Leakage (most all covers leak some but this one is significantly worse) / Installation ease (Not horrible - great videos - took more time than others) / Insulation (cover is not insulated, but it was not advertised as being insulated so no intentional misleading statements. Most other "premium" solid covers are insulated which helps keep cargo cooler in summer sun and it looks like the Peragon cover could easily have foam panels glued on the underside of the metal panels).
I have had the cover installed about two weeks at this point and used it on one trip so far. Will update this review if new information comes up.

All and all a very solid product. Removing and reinstalling the panels is not that easy but that is my only gripe.

Installation videos and manual did not always align on what had to be done but between the two it was relatively simple to install. It looks good.

The installation was overall very easy. The videos were helpful. It’s a great design and takes up little space. I would never stand on it though.

My brother installed the cover today. It was not easily installed but we got it finished.
Looks great and easy to operate.
I love it.
Your videos helped immensely.

I just wanted to add my review to hopefully help others with my same situation. I knew this information when I bought the cover, but I didn't think it would affect me as much as it has already. The main issue is that in order for the cover to open/retract, you must push down the front panels. This means that there cannot be any cargo underneath that area above approximately 6" tall by approximately 24" from front of bed. I didn't expect this area loss to be as large, and in a short bed truck, that space becomes valuable when packing for a 2 week long, 4,000+ mile road trip with a family of 4. Yes, you can shove it all in and dig it all back out from the back, but that becomes very annoying when you realize that the box that your 6 year old needs to get into is in the front of the bed. Also the design of the panels on the bottom side causes issues trying to open the cover if something is too tall or something shifts and it catches on the under side of the panels. It is probably difficult to make them flat top and bottom though.
One other minor thing is because my truck is so tall (2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon), my wife has a hard time pushing down the panel to get the cover to open due to her height (or lack thereof). This was not really a thought I had when I purchased the cover. It is getting a little easier to open with time, but when it was brand new, even I had a hard time getting it open with the resistance of the gas shocks.
Other than those issues, the cover is very nice and it looks and works great for day to day use purposes. I didn't figure out the issue with not being able to pack as much stuff in until after the 100 day return period, so I am just figuring out how to make it work. Will probably buy a bed rack to put items on that don't need to be protected under the cover, like coolers, grills, etc. I'm just adding this review to hopefully help out someone in the future from having the same experience as me. Basically you lose the front 2 ft of your bed under the cover if you need to be able to open the cover.

Great look and sturdy. Love it so far, one small issue is it does leak slightly from the last panel at back of bed. It does say though that it is not waterproof so I expected slight leak by somewhere. Again great look and built nicely just ensure to pay attention to the support videos because they are very helpful.

I just recently installed my truck bed cover and the install took me a little over 2 hours. Some of the instructions were vague on the measurements and the tools could have been packaged/labeled differently to help a consumer set it up. I also experienced troubles on the first few openings with the rubber stoppers shredding when closing the cover. After a few uses my cover slides easier but I did experience minor leakage during a storm. I have yet to install my tailgate seal so maybe that was the case but overall a good experience and great visual appearance.

I have had the cover on a 2017 nissan titan for 2 years now. It looks good holds up good. Not a bad product but if you live anywhere with snow or it freezes, if it's closed you won't be able to open it for those months. As well as your tail gate will always be froze shut. Wish I would have went with a cap.

The customer service and installation thanks to the video by far exceeded my expectations. I installed by myself in under two hours by watching the videos. The rail system and panel materials seem to have components that could fail at some point but overall very happy with the purchase. My father in law saw it and in fifteen seconds was ready to order one.

Looks great. Low profile on the bed. Installation took longer than expected and the written instructions were hard to follow. Used the videos online for guidance.

Installed cover on a new body style Ram 1500. Install videos were extremely helpful and right on point. After getting the cover installed, I did need to crawl in the bed with cover and tailgate closed to make fine tune adjustments to have rear seal touch tailgate. The final adjustments were easier to make after sunset with a partner letting me know if they could see light between seal and tailgate. I did have one seal between two of the panels start to roll out of place when closing the cover which ended up cutting the end of the seal.

The information and everything Peragon say's is accurate.
They said it would work with a Backrack original headache rack, it did but it had absolutely no clearance between the rails and the headache rack.
Rail mounts required drilling as stated by Peragon. The layout they provided for the front rail holes did not work (more holes in my bed). I have a factory Chevy bed liner that caused problems with the front mounts. Even without the bedliner the front mount layout probably would not have worked.
I had to take a significant amount of the bed liner out by cutting it to accommodate the panels when they were folded on the driver’s side. At 71 three crawls to the front of the box to trim bed liner was brutal.
Peragon stated all these difficulties, and I was aware before my purchase, but the installation was challenging with a headache rack and bed liner. This model was not available with the no drill mounts. I can see the advantage of models with no drill mounts. I spent a lot of time getting the mounts right in order to get the rails to align properly.
I am concerned about the durability of the panels. AT 65 and 70 MPH I can see deflections in the panels. They may fatigue in time.
In summary the integrity of the company is excellent. They provide excellent instructions and information. The installation was a little tough for me with the coordination of the headache rack and bed liner. I also find it difficult to remove the panel struts when removing the panels for full bed access. As an old guy (71) It may just be me with physical flexibility problems that presented some challenges. I am happy with the purchase and would purchase again. Excellent company.

I installed my cover last night, and it was about what I expected. As I think this is a great company and a decent cover, there are a few things I think that can be improved. I have a Toyota tundra with the bed rail system. I was very upset that I had to remove the bed rail in order to install this cover. I also believe like many other covers the frame should sit on top of the bed not sit on them very flimsy mounts that you must install on the bed. This is what took so long for the installation. I also expected the bed panels to be of more quality. They reminded me of sections from an aluminum roof. Anyways, I am satisfied so far with the cover and would not go to the hassle of taking it all apart to send back. I really think your research and development need to work a little better on the mounting system

I really would give it a 4 1/2. Only three things preventing a 5 star. One cannot be helped at this time,and that is I really wanted Platinum White, but current restrictions would not allow. So, I went with black. It looks good with the black, but really desired Platinum White to match truck.
2nd - Need to have all bolts with same size heads. Having to switch back and forth between wrenches/sockets when assembling, adjusting bolts per directions, etc. is somewhat annoying, a more time consuming especially when assembling alone.
3rd - Need something to keep pull strap out of the way when tonneau closed, without losing the aspect of it sliding back and forth as you open and close tonneau. You have 3-4 feet of pull strap at the tailgate opening when tonneau closed. I thought about velcroing or tying it off somehow, but then tonneau panels can't drop properly. If you throw strap towards cab end of the truck bed to get it out of way, when you open tonneau, you cannot reach strap to close it.

The installation was somewhat difficult, even after watching the videos. I still don't understand why the quick clamps would have to be bent up at a 1 degree angle. IMO a customer shouldn't have to bend anything from the factory, it should come ready to install. Despite the difficult installation, I really do like the product. The true test will be the Colorado hail we get sometimes. Overall, I'd recommend the product.
