Its extremely sturdy and you can put up to 500 lbs on it. It leaks like other tonneau covers if you don't take extra steps to seal it. The biggest problem I've had otherwise is with the drainage tubes that come out of the bottom of the canister. They get in the way and if you bend them at right angles they have crap build up in them.

Oh man hearing that it may leak is concerning, do you have a liner in your bed? I am wondering if I should do a spray on bed liner or go with the the Ford drop in one, will one fit better with the covers? Thanks for the good info!

It's designed to work with both. Although I have the drop in and its a little more annoying to install since you have to drill a hole to install the bar that makes the back of the bed flush with the rails. But that install is a pain with any tonneau since you have to fish a molly screw between the bed and the cab to secure it. Also, when I say it leaks, the biggest leak point I had was by the gate since it doesn't have sealing. But that is just some splashes and drips. Using rubber seals and some liquid seal can reduce/stop that issue though.

Sounds good thanks again for the help!
