Peragon Retractable Tonneau Pickup Truck Bed Cover Reviews

I cannot recommend this cover. We have had it for 3 years now. It started leaking water within a month or two after we installed and it leaks on all sides. Also it does not stop dirt/dust from the roads so you can’t haul anything without a container or wrapped in plastic as it will be wet and/or dirty. The rubber weather seal was in place properly but in the last year it no longer sticks on one side which it really didn’t do much to begin with. The other big complaint is it won’t roll back without 2-3 people helping thus it hasn’t been rolled back in almost 3 years as it’s not worth the hassle. We installed it from directions and online videos. I am a female and have been gentle on my pickup therefore it should have worked. The only positive is no one has robbed anything from the truck box so there’s that.

Great product. Instructions and install videos were excellent. Packing of the parts made installation a breeze. Works great and looks great

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.

Everything came well packaged with all necessary components for installation. Written instructions were good but for me I am more of a visual person so the step by step videos were great. Thanks again for a great product.

overall I love this cover, installation videos were helpful, I would recommend having two people for the install it was a bit complicated doing this by myself.

So far so good! The cover looks great on my Tundra, and installation instructions were very clear. I really like the clean fit at the tailgate, and the fact that my tailgate can still 'pop' open with the keyfob, it can't get hung up on a seal. Because I don't open my tonneau very often, I removed the 'strap' for closing and just get up into the bed to pull it closed. Works great. Would buy again.

The cover is fantastic, hands down the best bed cover I have ever owned. Installation was straight forward and had it done in just over an hour. I ran into 1 problem which was my own fault, I contacted customer service and they worked me through the issue. Absolutely one of the best customer service departments that I have ever interacted with.

An unfortunate event totaled my 2022 Ridgeline. It was delivered with the dealer installed 3-panel hardcover.
Out of that misfortune, I was fortunate to find the same vehicle without a bed cover. It could not be installed in time for delivery.
The silver lining to all of this is my new Peragon LimitedHDx Tonneau Cover.
I read through the manual twice and watched all the videos. I took my time and within a few hours I had a perfectly fit and functional hardcover on my Ridgeline. I can’t begin to explain how happy I am with this cover. It’s incredibly easy to use and is uniquely versatile as well.
I thank God no one was injured in the mishap and I thank you, Peragon, for your Words of Encouragement! God bless!!

This is the second Peragon cover I have purchased. I choose to go with the matte black upgraded version as it would match my trucks trim package. It matched to perfectly. Having installed a Peragon cover previously for my 2020 GMC Sierra 1500, I was able to install this one in a couple of hours and didn't need to make any adjustments. The videos and instructions are practically fool proof and the cover works completely as designed. I expected no less...

This is my second peragon Cover I've purchased. The first was for a Honda Ridgeline back in 2011. I just sold the the Ridgeline (with the cover) and purchased a Tacoma and again I only looked to paragon for a bed cover because of over 12 years of experience with paragon. These covers are reliable, lockable, sturdy, great looking and they hold up to any type of weather especially in Florida. Customer service is the best and very concerned about you being satisfied with your purchase and installation of the cover.

Works and looks great, installation does require a little assistance. But all in all it was completed takes about 3hrs. and watch the videos. Instructions do not help as much as the videos.

I recently purchased and installed my bed cover, installation was easy with the help of the step by step videos, I really like the look and finish of this bed cover and the ease of removing if from the bed of the truck, I could not have wished for a better product than this one.

It’s super easy to install. It only take me 25 minutes or less. Thanks

Installation was a breeze. I would recommend using the QR codes and YouTube videos as they were easier to translate than the instruction book. Very satisfied with over product.

Makes me definately not miss the old soft rollup cover on my first Datsun pickup (with all those damn snaps!). My 1998 F150 had a Pace-Edwards canister JackRabbit that held up well for close to 20 years with 1 minor rebuild. But the canister was a water collection and space consuming beast.
I wanted the top of the line but I also wanted the Arctic White, which looks incredible. I misread the info (my bad) and thought it had the BoxLink system for Ford trucks. Looked really easy and secure, so my only interrraction with CS was them kinda explaining how dumb I was. That and the resulting difficulty of alignment and sealing - It still needs some minor adjustments for easier opening and to reduce leakage that I've been putting off.
But, that said, I really love it. I do think some insulation sprayed on the underside would be a nice idea, as some have mentioned, along with a T-handle holding the key for a stronger lifting and locking procedure. I really thought early on that I would break my key. The whole strap thing is a learning experience, too. But, the comprehensive videos were definitely a life saver many times over.
So, wow, an American made and well designed and obviously constantly evolving cover is icing on the cake! I am not surprised in the quality and passion in a small, privately owned company. While being the main power behind the American economic engine, you know that half assed mega-behemoth-ChiCom company products cannot compare or compete with a consumer friendly and quality driven American business. Thanks for your time!

smooth installation, f150 lightning. works exactly as expected from the videos. My helper is close to buying this as a replacement cover for his f150, other than spending the money a second time his feedback was on removability. I didn't think it was hard, though I don't plan on ever removing the panels even temporarily unless I have to maintain the bed rug beneath it.

Great product , semi easy to install , works great . I recently had to remove panels to load up a quad and was as easy as they say . Cons I would say is that the don’t tell you not to load something high towards the front since is where it folds down ( figured out by using it ) and they didn’t make something to hold the strap to pull it back towards end of the bed , making it hard if it gets stuck with a load of anything

After lots of experiences with truck tops and canopies I wanted something clean, sharp and secure. Peragon truck bed top, caught my interest, and fit my needs. It took me about 4 hours to install, taking my time and a little help from my wife. I received a little help from Peragon’s support team to fine tune it , which after using a couple days is all it needed to self adjust. I am very pleased with how it looks and operates. I highly recommend anyone that wants a secure, clean looking truck top to consider Peragon for their truck bed cover.

The installation videos were very helpful and make the installation very easy

Prompt complete shipping with all parts included with good assembly instructions . Bed cover fits ,looks and works good . I recommend the Peragon LimitedHDxEdition bed cover .
