Review of a TruXedo Deuce Tonneau Cover

Today we are going to install part number TX777601 from TruXedo. This is their Deuce Tonneau Cover. First we will show you how it installs. Some tonneau covers actually sit on top of the rails. In this case, it is actually going to sit on the inside edge of the rail itself. We will start off by installing the rails first. It is kind of a good idea to have an extra set of hands here. What you want to do is mount it up against the side of the rail and push this little seal here against the tailgate just a little bit. When you have got it into the position you want, go ahead and take the clamps and install it onto one side of the rail and on the inside of the bed rail. What you are aiming for here is to actually have this as level as possible. All right, next what we will do is install the rails that actually support this while it is in use. We will just fold this out of our way, and the rail will get installed like this. Try to get it as even as possible with the other rail and then clamp it in place just like the first one.

All right, we will assemble our side brackets onto our crossmember here. And they have the screws already installed, so they just slide into these slots right here and here. And then just tighten them down. You have one on each side to do. All right, next we will assemble the crossmember to the underbody rails. We just install two pieces of hardware, one bolt that will fit into the track right here, and there is one on each side you need to do. And then we will install our crossmember. OK. Once you have them loosely installed, go ahead and align the front crossmember where it is even with the bulkhead here.

All right, next we will install the cover assembly. Temporarily we will put these back out of the way, and get our assembly. Set our hardware back in the tracks. Just snug these up for now but leave them loose, because we will have to adjust it maybe a little bit later. All right, next we will go ahead and lift the cover assembly back over and onto the front rail, and line up the latch. And you may have to take this latch and move it back and forth a little bit to adjust it. Once you have it just right, you should be able to just push down on it and it locks into place. All right, once you have that crossmember aligned with the bulkhead here, go ahead and tighten them down into the rails. All right, lift the cover assembly back over onto the crossmember here, and then what you want to do is make sure you have this even on both sides. You want to make sure this rail is next to the side rail on the pickup, and then you want to make sure this gap is even on both sides. Once you have that even, then you can go ahead and tighten down the bolts on the bottom side.

All right, next we will line our center latch up with the latch. Just pick it up a little bit, just slide it over into place, push it down and latch it into place. And that will center it, and then you just tighten down the nut. This is the trigger that unlatches the latch here so you can fold up the front half of the tonneau cover. And it is lockable. All you have to do is undo this thumbwheel right here, and put it next to the latch and then tighten it down. And then the latch can operate to undo it. All right, once we have the bolts tightened down, just go ahead and unroll it back, and then cover up our truck bed. As it locks into place, you pull on that latch right there and then just pull it down tight.

All right, once you have it latched in the back, then take your Velcro seal and you just push it into place. All right, to unlatch the front half of the tonneau cover, push on this lever and pick it up. All right, to release the back half of the tonneau cover is easy - it is a one-finger release. All right, when you have your cover rolled up, it has these two straps right here that go over the top and latch into two straps on the back side of the cover. All right, that covers our review and installation of part number TX777601 from TruXedo.
