Peragon Retractable Tonneau Pickup Truck Bed Cover Reviews

After 3 weeks waiting finally I installed no problem in just a couple of hours my peragon cover was installed I love it.my tool's are secure and safe.

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

I bought this three years ago for my Toyota Tundra so I could keep my snowboard and golf clubs in the back and not worry about it. For the price this is the best product on the market. It's durable, doesn't take up much room in your bed and its easy to remove if needed. I broke one of the sliding wheels within the 1st month of having it and Peragon sent me a piece to repair it with instructions without a hassle. For the most part this cover will keep everything dry in your bed. It will leak a little on the sides if there is a big rain storm but that is expected. The only complaint I have is the the top doesn't slide quite as easily as some of the videos led me to believe. A big part of this problem might be I installed it myself. I am planning on buying another one for the next truck I get and I recommend it to people all the time.

Absolutely the most unique truck bed cover on the market. After researching bed covers I chose Peragon for its versatility, prince, and it's style. I reviewed online the installation manual and watched the videos. A few days later the bed cover arrived and I was able to install in just 3 or 4 hours without any problems ( other than the 100 degree heat index). The color coded packaging of the hardware is a huge time saver during assembly. I just followed the instructions and it installed without any adjustments. Works like a charm and
Complements my F150. I highly recommend the dual dead bolt locking system for added security. This is a very cool and practical truck accessory. You won't be disappointed!

Mike,

I had the opposite problem in that my tailgate would not close. But, you can adjust the location of the frame on the front of the bed without much trouble. I made this adjustment with the tailgate up, and it worked perfectly!

Good Luck

Today is 30July2015. I installed my Peragon tonneau cover on the July 4th weekend, so I was pretty much on my own. I just returned from a 2,000+ mile mountain road trip in my new 2015 Ram 1500. So now I can tell you a little bit about my Peragon experience. I am a semi-retired computer systems engineer so design and functionality are important to me. I live on a farm in central Texas where it is hot and dusty. After much Internet research I found what I felt was the best tonneau for the money and functionality. This is not my first truck, but it is my first tonneau cover. The Peragon came in on time as advised when I ordered it. It was packaged in order of installation steps which I thought was smart. I watched the installation videos, available on the Internet, over and over. I did the fabrication and install alone, except my wife helped me put the frame onto the truck bed; you should not do that alone. The part of the installation book I found unclear and Peragon did not have a video on this was mounting the frame onto the truck bed, but I managed. I spoke to Peragon about that and they said they would fix that. If you are a novice installer like me, it takes more than 4 hours because you will want to read through the manual and watch the videos over & over as I did; that alone eats up an hour.
Let me tell you a little about the cover. My vehicles are parked under a carport extension of my barn. The barn swallows nest above my vehicles and take pride in decorating my vehicles. If my tonneau was canvas it would be tough washing bird droppings out of canvas. I considered getting a cover painted to match my new Prairie Green truck, but I realized that the standard black goes well with most anything. And besides, my truck sets high enough that only 18 wheeler drivers can look down on it on the highway. I find the functionality to be user friendly; it is easy to open and close. On the road doing 75-80 mph it made no noise. I cannot confirm this, but I think it helped my mileage. My big Hemi engine was averaging over 20 mpg going up and down mountain roads. For a short trip I did have to haul a big grill, for a relative, with the cover open and that worked fine. I wash my vehicles with a long handle vehicle washing brush. If you don’t have one I recommend getting one, you will need it to wash your tonneau cover for sure. Use a squeegee to dry it so it doesn’t leave water spots. The photo attached was taken recently, after the road trip and after the truck was washed.
So far, in summary, I can say I recommend this product. When the installation was complete I ended up with a ¼” space between the cover and tail gate which I fixed with weather stripping. I informed Peragon about this. They said I needed to do some adjustments, but the weather stripping works fine. I hope this little bit of info helps you with your decision. It is a big decision and a relatively expensive one, so do your research. Reviews are important.

Greetings,
I spent more than a month researching tonneau covers for my 2013 F150. I chose Peragon for several reasons, they are made in the USA, they don’t block the drivers view when retracted, they are reasonably priced, they are powder coated so the paint won’t start flaking after a year, the online documentation and videos where straight forward and written for my specific truck, and finally because they are a hard cover which can deter would be thieves from reaching into the bed. I realized that this product required the bed of the truck to be drilled in four locations, but with the proper rust preventative coating, I felt this was a small inconvenience for all of the advantages I would receive from installing the cover.

It only took my wife and I two hours to install it onto my truck. The fit was perfect and the instructions/videos were simple to follow. There were no surprises! I made sure the frame was squared up, inserted the panels, and viola it works like a charm. Due to an obstruction behind the bed rail flange, I did have to adjust the location of the front mounting brackets by an inch so that the bolt and nut would fit correctly. Your design easily allowed for this adjustment to be made without any unnecessary complications! The final fit is perfect, no adjustments were required! It was a bit stiff to begin with, so as your instructions suggested, I applied silicone lubrication to the roller bearings and the unit works perfectly. I sprayed some water on it to test for leaks and I could not have been more impressed! There were some drips on the sides near the tailgate, but it was not enough to damage any cargo that could have been there. I dried the cover and applied some wax and it just looks awesome. I kid you not, I immediately received compliments from my neighbors on how cool the cover looked on the truck. I was curious if the unit would make any noise at highway speeds, so we headed down the highway at 70mph with the windows down. The panels were “fluttering” a bit, but they were not making any sound, it was dead quiet. I do recommend the double deadbolt, it adds strength and security to both sides of the cover. I also opted for the stainless steel hardware. This adds durability and rust prevention, things I just don’t want to have to worry about in the future. Be sure to follow their advice and use a lubricant on the SS bolts to prevent any issues during assembly.

I am writing this review 20 days after installation and I had excited to report that the cover is working perfectly. The water seal has improved drastically with only a little tiny bit of water at the tailgate. (I’m in Ohio and it has rained for weeks here). I have received multiple compliments from curious onlookers along with multiple request to see the cover open and close. Most just say “Awe that is cool!”

I am quite pleased with the amount of space the collapsed cover occupies. My bed is the shorter 6.5’ bed and I have already had to haul some bigger items with the cover open. I had plenty of room and the cover made no noise as I drove around with it open.

Thank you Peragon for a great product!

Great Product and Customer Support!!!! The only issue I had was with the duel locks, the key cylinder did not work. I called and spoke with someone right away and had the replacement in my hand within 48 hours. You cannot ask for any better costumer service than that. Worked great on vacation securing and protecting luggage. Still got a very small amount of water in bed and did not soak my luggage, but the price is far better than the cost of a camper shell and a whole easier to remove if you need to haul something. If I had it to do over again I would still make the purchase. In fact this purchase will be made with all my future trucks as well and I will defiantly recommend it!!

I did quite a bit of research before I bought this cover. I couldn't find anything else the was even close to this one. It was just what I wanted. Couldn't beat the price. The installation was quite simple. My son and I installed it in about 3 hours taking our time. It looks absolutely incredible! So glad I got it in the polar white. I wish there was a little more of a shine to it but it looks good just the way it is. After I installed it we had 3 days of steady rain. It came down pretty hard at times. After it stopped, I looked in the bed and it was bone dry except for a small amount at the tailgate. It was a little difficult to open at first but seems to be loosening up as time goes on. I would highly recommend this cover to anyone looking for something that is functional, easy to install and great looking.

Great customer service, took very good care of me. I watched the video reviews and decided that this would replace my factory hard top. I installed the top by myself, at a leisurely pace. I could have easily installed this in an hour. Everything was packed well, and easy to find. I love this cover, and all of my friends how it works. Easy operation, good looks, and now I can put a pallet of feed in my truck! If you are looking for a cover, look no further! I am EXTREMELY happy with this cover and company. When I buy a new truck, I will have the cover ordered before I buy the truck!

Truck bed looks great!!!! Works well and did I say looks great!!!! Install was about 3 hours doing it alone. Videos on YouTube could be way better but they are not lol. Hydraulic little arms are the only thing that could be way better. The clips that lock them on are garbage. Over all I like the cover for under 1000 dollars which with all the accessories other than custom color they are about 800. More people will look at your truck because of the cover. Bottom line is it is functional and it looks great. As far as my five star rating... That's a for the money rating. Only cover to buy for under 1000. Over all rating would be a 4 because there are better made covers but they are 1200 and up.

Outstanding cover. Directions were very easy to follow. Installed in about 2 hours if course with the supervision of wife. Looks great on truck. Very sound and easy open and closing. Love the way it folds into bed. Customer service very helpful and friendly. Like business practice of following up to make sure bed cover is what you expected. Was delivered in date promised.
