Review by: Robert W H. - PA   star star star star star

Only tri fold I could find that worked perfectly with the side bed storage units on my F350. Very good fit up and very easy to open and remove if needed. I would love to see a heavier gauge version of this cover at some point to permit topside storage and hauling but understand there are design limits.

Review by: Jerry F. - MN   star star star star star

Great looking cover. Folds up a bit awkwardly vs previous bakflip but love the low profile design/;look. and it seems better construction. Hope the rubber hinge gaskets stand up overtime.. Customer service is great although there was a bit of a wait time for fulfilment.

This is the 4th Lomax cover I have had. They always fit well and a self install takes less than 30 minutes. Customer service through the order process is always flawless, free shipping is awesome considering where we live, and shipping via FedEx is the beat

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review I put a new LOMAX STANCE Cover on my truck and finally got to test it out by hauling a big item. This cover can open vertically if necessary and I was about a half inch away from having to do that! Made me feel a lot more confident knowing I could pick up large stuff on short notice and not have to find a way to get it home. I drove with the cover open for about 4 hours and it was smooth sailing. I love the urethane finish and can't wait to see what else this cover will do.

I was looking at other tonneau covers for my 2020 Silverado. After reading reviews, I decided I wanted a cover that didn't leak. I bought the Stance so I could use the bed of my truck when needed without having to remove it. I had a problem with the primer and contacted the company and they sent out replacement parts quickly so I could finish the installation. Great product and great customer service!!

This product meets and exceeds all my expectations. The quality of workmanship to the high level of materials, there has been a lot of engineering that has gone into this cover. Also being able to stand the unit up frees up so much more bed room to pack things into my 5-1/2 bed. Thank you and to all your staff for designing and manufacturing this product.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Purchased the Lomax Stance Hard cover Jan 2021. It is a high quality cover. It keeps water out, looks great and customer support is always available to answer your questions.

Review by: Timothy C. - IN   star star star star star

This product far and above exceeded my expectations. I have had the roll up covers in the past because I was concerned with the limited bed space that I would have with the hard cover. After receiving this product and the ease of installation, I am extremely impressed with this cover. The way that it stands on end and attaches, gives me all the bed space necessary.Also the technical expertise of the staff was off the charts. I have the Ford factory ramps in the back of my truck and was concerned with the new cover working with these ramps. After discussions, this new cover works perfectly. Thank you for developing this product. I am a customer for life.

The Lomax Stance cover was first installed on my 2017 F-150, (very easy installation), and then removed from the 2017 F-150 and installed on my 2021 F-150. The installation again was very easy.The Lomax cover is pretty much water proof except openings around the tailgate, which is in the tailgate design and only when going thru the car wash (blowers).The Lomax cover is easy to operate, plus quiet compared to rollup models.I also install the bed mat. Same easy installation.

This is a well built tri fold bed cover that allows full access to the bed. Super easy install took about 30 minutes total. This cover is very weather without the tailgate gaskets it has very minimal leakage. I've driven through some heavy rain and it held up well.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Bought the STANCE for my surveying work truck. Two things I was concerned about - Access to my equipment and water leakage. I have used it for three weeks and I am very pleased. It has went through some hard rain and had just a small spot of wetness at the tailgate. For most work, I can just flip back the two rear cover flaps. When I do need to access the front, it is no problem to fully expose the entire bed. I am totally satisfied so far with the STANCE cover. Also, the staff that I spoke to were very friendly and informative. Thanks for a great product!

Review by: Ross - IA   star star star star star

I had a Lowmax on the truck that I just traded in. I loved the Lowmax but decided to go with the Stance as I liked the idea of being able to use the bed w/o having to pull the cover. Very happy with my decision. Solid product and great customer service!

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review After doing lots of research for a folding hard cover for my 2021 Ram Rebel, I've chosen the Lomax Stance. There's been a few times I had to take my old tri- fold hard cover all the way off to fit certain things in my old Nissan Titan's bed. The new Stance cover on my Ram Rebel opens up the whole bed if I need it to and folds to a typical 3 way fold when I don't. And when it's completely closed, it looks great with its low profile.The whole thing is made very well with quality components. Installation was super easy for a regular guy too. Customer service was excellent and fast when I had a question. Very happy with my purchase.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review I recently installed a Lomax Stance hard cover on my 2022 Honda Ridgeline. I am very impressed with cover's design, the quality materials used, it's robust construction, and thoughtful features. This is a top notch hard cover, designed to last. It was not difficult to install, and it included some additional instructions to ensure a good fit with the Ridgeline's unique bed characteristics. The low profile design and textured black urethane finish look great on my truck. I had a couple of questions, and found Agricover's support responsive and great to work with. Overall I am very pleased I bought this cover and went with this brand.

Really like my cover. It seems to be well made and very easy to install by myself. I looked for a cover for about 3 months and decided on the Lomax Stance Hard Cover due to the high scores on reviews and my personal needs. Thanks Lomax!

Review by: Craig P. - TN   star star star star star

I have had this top for 1-1/2 years. This is a great top. I just recently purchased a newer year model of the same truck that I traded and transferred this top to my new truck. The Stance has the rooftop anchors which I ordered to install on my new truck. I have had other Lomax tonneau covers in the past. They are very high quality and I would definitely recommend them.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Easy install and perfect fit on 2015 F-150. Replaced a cover that did not hold up.Really like the low profile and tough exterior. Also like the ability to close tailtgate without lifting the cover.We've had our first hard windy rain for the season and their were no leaks!Atttention to security is appreciated. The latch cord is positioned very close to tailgate so it is well protected from attempt to snag with wire.

Review by: Robert D. - CA   star star star star star

Happy with purchase. Very easy to install, though have to be really carefull when gluing holders on roof as magnetic pull easilly jerks the piece to the roof. Cover looks great. Teh only thing that would be nice is to be able to lock in place inbetween full open and full closed.

Review by: Dillon D. - LA   star star star star

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Overall it is a great cover. The bed liner coating that is sprayed on could be better for the price of the cover. The edges of my cover were not sprayed so you can still see bare aluminum on the edges. I have a 2023 tundra with deck rail system and the allows a little flex in the mounting rail at the edge of the tail gate so i have to pull the latch when closing to get the cover to re latch. I cannot just close the cover and let it latch on its own because it will just flex the mounting rail. I do no think this is the cover fault. I think think if i didn't have the deck rail system this problem would not exist. Water tight even when spraying a pressure washer around the edges.

Review by: S. M. - PA   star star star star star

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review I have been looking for a hard cover for my 2021 Tundra for a while. I have researched most of them and watched many social media reviews. I decided to go with the Stance and I am happy I did. It looks awesome and is easy to use. I went with the diamond mist and it looks sharp. Installation was pretty straightforward and you will have to make some adjustments (alignment). I went from unboxing to installed in about 90 minutes. I am very happy with the ease of operation to access the bed and make room for items that are too talll. I haven't installed the roof mounts yet due to the temps here in Pa, but do not see it being a problem. Shipping was seamless and product was in great shape. I did wipe down the panels with alcohol due to shipping/ manufacturing dust, but I would have done that regardless. I think it really enhances the look of the truck and the low profile is for real. Great product!

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review I purchased this cover for my 2022 Ford Maverick. The shipment was prompt. It was very well packaged. It took me a half hour to install by myself. Installation was very simple. The instructions were very clear. I've used other brands before, but the quality of this cover is superior to other brands. A lot of thought was put into designing this cover. It also looks cleaner than other hard covers when in the fully closed position.

Review by: David S. - OH   star star star star

I love the way it fits om my truck and the look of it. And how easy it was to install. The only thing that I'am dissappointed in is the fact that i have to mount brackets on top of my truck. That's something i dont want to do. So if i would of know this i probably would not of bought it.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Great product. Truck bed stays dry, folds and operates as advertised. Easy to install, no hiccups. Highly recommend.

Review by: Max S. - WA   star star star star star

Can't say enough good things about the LoMax Stance cover and Agricover's customer service. The quality of the materials, build and finish is top notch. The installation is straight forward. It is simple tooperate one handed. My favorite part is the cab mounted stance supports enabling the folded cover to closely hug the cab and not use any bed space. I have a short box and I need every inch of bed for my motorcycles. Lastly, a corner got damaged in shipping causing a seal to tear and a small bend in a panel. I contacted Agricover and they immediately sent out a replacement cover. I love great customer service, especially when combined with a class leading product! If you are going for a tri-fold hard cover, the choice is a no brainer.

Review by: Matthew S. - OH   star star star star star

Regarding the F250 cover, I am beyond impressed with this product. I was able to get it installed in about an hour yesterday afternoon and am thrilled with the construction. I worked previously with a BakFlip MX4 tonneau on the F150 that I traded in and just was never very happy with Bak's design. The exterior weatherstripping warped with weather conditions and looked sloppy. The Lomax Stance design is superior in so many ways. I love the vertical stance supports on the roof, the rail system is very sturdy, and the locking/release functionalities are perfect. More than anything, the diamond mist style is really sharp.I am beyond happy with this purchase, but also just wanted to send my appreciation for your superior customer service getting things ironed out for me last week.Best regards,Matt

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review So far, so good although I've only had it for a few weeks and haven't driven with it completely folded up. It's sturdy and operates as described. Installation was reasonable but getting the rails flush is critical. I didn't like that the allen bolts on the stabilizer arms were stripped and couldn't be turned. No allen wrench I owned would fit them. I had to jerry-rig loosening and tightening those with pliers. I was told the arms were set to my truck from the factory and shouldn't need adjusting. Not so. They definitely needed to be adjusted inward. It looks great on my truck and I'm generally happy with it, but I think the warranty period should be longer than 3 years.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Purchases for a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 a couple of weeks ago and used extensively (opening and closing) over the past week. So far, I am very pleased. I like that I have full access to the bed when needed by standing up cover behind back window. It does leak a little bit of water at the front but not a problem for most of the cargo I normally carry. It fits bed perfectly and looks good. Installation took about 1 hour total. I would recommend.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review I received my Lomax Stance hardcover as promised. The installation was more difficult than I expected it to be. The clamps that hold the rails in place weren't particularly easy to install, but I learned as I went and got it done. I have not installed the brace mounts on the roof of my truck yet because I have a problem with the idea of gluing something to the painted surface of my new truck. I can see how it would work with the cover in the vertical position, and that they are necessary in holding it in place. I might eventually do this I don't know.As for the cover itself I reallv love the look andfunctionality of it. The low profile and urethane finish are a good combination and it really dresses up my truck. This cover is so much easier to operate than the one I had on my other truck. I think the Lomax is a very good product and I definitely recommend it.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review The Lomax Stance is standing tall with my friends who have been asking where I got this cool looking cover for my Honda Ridgeline. The install went great by just following the instructions. The Lomax Stance was installed with no added assistance and functions perfectly. In short; the best bed cover (no leaks), quite going down the road, easy to flip, the latch is very secure, and really enhances the look on my Honda Ridgeline. I will buy the Lomax Stance for my next truck regardless of the brand of vehicle I decide to go with. I wish I knew about this product for my Ford F-250 which I used to pull our RV. Lomax is just a great well thought out product. Eric

Really great product. Easy install and great fit. I would like to see an option to snug the seal down a touch tighter after install. Maybe there is one, and I haven't figured it out yet. All in all the product is as advertised. I will buy again and recommend this to others.

Review by: Justin B. - CO   star star star star

Easy to install, solid constructions, low profile. There is a small gap in the front two corners of the bed resulting in rain leaking into the bed. It sems to be because there is no mounting rail at the front of the bed, therefore allowing a gap due to the elevation differences? My intent is to apply additional weatherstripping at the corners to see if this resolves the small leaks.

Review by: Sang N. - TX   star star star star star

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Great bed cover! installation was very easy and straight forward, Youtube has videos on how you can install it, but make sure you follow the paper instruction for clamping the rail. Different truck bed has different style deck rail system (or no deck rail). I had a good amount of rain and the cover did not have any leaks. I saw only a few droplets on the side of the bed by the tailgate. Not losing bed space is great! I am very happy with this bed cover.

Review by: John H. - PA   star star star star star

Very well built cover, I'm glad I chose the Lomax model. Easy to install, no complaints.

Review by: David M. - MN   star star star star star

The cover installed very easily. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The only suggestion that I would make is to make note in the cover installation instructions, if an element seal is going to be installed on the box bulkhead, to install it after the rails are installed and before the cover is fitted in place. I am very happy with is cover. It is far superior to other covers that I have had on previous trucks.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Installation instructions were well written. Be advised that there may be supplemental instructions for your particular make and model. Be sure to take it under advisement as specific design features in your truck bed can help or complicate your installation. I had no such issues, but want to encourage others to take it under consideration when self installing.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review By far the best bed cover I've owned. I have had other folding and retractable covers and all had issues with leaking and were hard to remove if you needed to. The low profile design is very clean. Getting ready to purchase new truck and this will be the first accessory purchased.

Review by: Shane F. - MT   star star star star star

This is the second Stance and 4th Lomax purchased for either personal or fleet vehicles. The low profile seems to be about the best choice of all options available. Three are the regular urethane and the recent 5.5' Stance is black mist, which looks really sharp. Was interested in the Carbon Fiber cover but decided it to be a bit too Gucci, rather fly low under radar. Also bought the tailgate seal but it has been too cold to apply. Most recent one installed on 2023 Ford Lightning. Everytime I have a need for a new tonneau cover, I repeat the same process, look at all the available choices and end up coming back to the Lomax. Just wish the Lightning had a 6.5' bed so that I could have used the one now sitting in storage!

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review I love the look, this was the only cover I could find that didn't have rubber running down the top sides overlapping the bed rails. When I received the cover, some of the thin edge did not have the black finish. Very obvious when you walk up to the truck. Customer service states this is not a blemish, they don't directly coat the edges. Obviously other people don't like this also because they offer a paint pen to touch it up (and the rep also said some customers will not like the unpainted edges). This part is my fault. I didn't pay attention to pictures that demonstrate the folded up position. I don't like how the cover stands up. They offer magnets to go on top of your roof to support the cover in the upward position. I don't like anything on my paint. I've had magnet antennas on work truck and they will definitely damage your paint over time. Using these magnets a short time, they would probably be okay but I'm not taking the chance. I'm skeptical they would support the cover going 70 mph down an interstate. It's really easy to take the whole cover off by loosening 2 nuts so I'll do that. Also I won't need it in this position very often. Overall I am happy with it and do not regret the purchase. Very easy install and folds up easily. Clean low profile look.

Review by: John O. - NC   star star star star

I just finished installing my new Lomax Stance Hard Cover. It took me about 30 minutes by myself to install. Overall I like the quality and look of my new cover. The only issue I have is the same as most other people's issues. The paint on the edges of the panels is rubbed off in alot of places. If you have a paint pen or stick I would love to have one to touch up the edges.

Review by: Bill K. - GA   star star star star

Nice cover, works as described. Disappointed with the finish, not sure why anyone would have a spray finish that left little holes in the finish making the metal beneath visible.

I'm 69 and had my son give me a hand with the installation My Stance was delivered on time and no issues with the delivery.Had to wait a few weeks until the temperature was 65+.Installation was straightforward, paying attention to the side rail levelness with the top of the bedside. Had to adjust a few of the clamps to get a perfect fit with the tailgate when closed.Installation time about 45 easy minutes.

LOMAX<sup>®</sup> STANCE™ Hard Cover Customer Review Very simple and easy to install. My only complaint would be that the rail clamp bolts could be a bit longer, as I had to loosen them up substantially to get the rails on. Once that was done, tightening and torquing to spec was fine.
