I have this one. I got it locally and used my Ford pass points for it. Very p!eased so far. Been in a few hard rains and it has stayed dry.
This looks like it may be the same as the Gator SRX cover. Did it come with installation brackets like the ones I'm enclosing a picture of? If so, how in the heck did the rear brackets get mounted, if at all? I believe I can mount the front brackets but the back brackets, I just don't see a spot for them.
I got the cover and the side rails on with no issues with these brackets that I guess were supposed to be support for the side rails or stumping me with their rear bracket installation.

I bought this:
Amazon.com: TruXedo TruXport Soft Roll Up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover | 231001 | Fits 2019 - 2021 Ford Ranger 5' 1" Bed (61") : Automotive
It sits on top the rails and I haven't seen water get in even after driving thru rain.
Easy install, and rolls up into around 5" leaving total bed access.
Truxedo Truxport also. Doesn't seem to have leaked so far. About $425, best price was buying online directly from Truxedo. Factory drop-in bedliner did not interfere with installation.

I have a 22 Scab with the ford bed liner. Just received my Truxedo Lo Pro and need some help with the install.
Tried to fit the side rails and they are slightly too long to fit between the tail gate and the bed bulkhead liner. Looks like if I trim the corners of the liner it will fit properly against the paint.
Everything I’ve read so far never mentions this just say it will fit with a bed liner.
Are the brackets, as delirious posted above, necessary for the install. Seems like the truck side rails wrap around flanges are very thin gauge with little depth for the rail clamps to grip. seems like the brackets would give much more support.
has anyone installed the front and rear brackets on one of these covers on a scab with ford bed liner?
The manufacturers videos are useless.
Thanks in advance.

This is what I have, 0 issues besides installation is a little bit of a pain. But it’s 99.99% waterproof (with the exception of heavy rain mine slightly can leak in the front of the bed) but had it over a year now and it looks good as new.

This cover is awesome! I frequently take it on and off all the time, and its ease of installation and removing is great. On off 5 minutes. And its pretty water proof too. Tailgate is where mist water comes in and its not that much.

I have spray in liner and it works fine. Do you have drop in?

Yes drop in. Too much thickness of the liner about 3/8” for the rails to fit.
I’ll need to cut a knotch out of the liner for the rails to fit.
maybe I’ll take some pictures to help others out in the future.

Don't recommend TonnoPro LoRoll.

I have that one as well.

No leaks, about 10 minutes to install, very easy to remove and reinstall when you want access to the full bed with no limitations. No leaks.

Not as slick as the more expensive flat Back Flip Models but fine for my needs.

I had a weathertech cover on the ranger, was good on water tightness and looks, but the clamps no matter what kept falling off after sometime.

If i were to get another soft rollup it would be the truxedo lopro, have had that on my lightning for 5 years now, no leaks and the clamps hold fine. Material still looks new and i like the bars across it.

For the raptor i got a lomax trifold and honestly its my favorite cover so far, the rails slightly sit on the rails for extra support and ive had 0 leaks outside of water getting through the side tailgate gaps, but thats not the covers fault. Even sprayed water at the seals of the cover and nothing got in.

The low profile covers are the way to go. Got the lo pro on mine and love it. Idk what the earlier comment is on about. I even had to notch out my drop in liner and everything but it came out flawless. Watched a few videos and set aside time to get it just right and I get next to nothing in terms of water. Even going through a quick wash. They have a Labor Day sale on now

I have this also. They put it on for free with lineX(not free) because I waited 2 months in 2021 .. the COVID wait. Very little water but I rarely look anyway so ... every time I open I don't see any
water. Very happy with it.
