Leer Hard Tonneau Cover - Tri Fold - Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic

Video Transcript for Leer Hard Tonneau Cover Review LE22FR

Hi it's Evangeline. And today we are looking at our LEER HF50M Tonneau Cover, here at etrailer. So this is a pretty cool Tonneau Cover. Of course, if you wanna keep your truck bed and your cargo inside, nice, dry, safe and secure, this is a great option. But what's special about this is how user-friendly it is. It's a tool-free install, which is really nice, especially if you don't wanna deal with complicated covers.

So this is a hard top panel cover. So usually you have two options, soft and hard covers. So this is a nice sturdy cover on your truck bed. And this also folds up, which is cool because then you have different options for different positions that you might want your cover to be in. Some of the pros of a hard Tonneau Cover like this is well for one, it's a lot more secure.

Some of the things I worry about when I see a soft Tonneau Cover is that what if someone just takes a knife to it, or if it can handle extreme elements like hail or rocks. With this, you can tell that it's a lot more durable and it's very secure. It feels secure. It looks secure. Also, it looks really good here on a truck bed.

It's like it's part of the truck itself. Now, one thing about hard Tonneau Covers is that they're usually heavier, so people might get the soft covers because they are a lot lighter. But this addresses that in a way that it actually is relatively light for being a hard Tonneau Cover. And I have noodle arms, I don't like lifting heavy covers, but even for me this is pretty easy to use. What's special about this one too, is it's latching system.

So they do have what they call the CYNC latching system. So you only need to use one hand to unlatch the entire cover. And that's nice because then you aren't feeling with different wires or pulleys or levers like you might have to deal with with other covers. If you want full access to your bed, you can release this and lift the entire thing up, again using your CYNC latching system to release the Tonneau Cover and this comes with some prop rods as well. So you can just prop up your cover and that allows you to have full access to your bed while still having the Tonneau Cover in place and not having to take the entire thing off. There are different options when it comes to Tonneau Covers. This is the folding option or the folding style. Now, if you wanna compare it to other styles like there are the canister styles as well. Those are pretty cool because when you do fold them or roll them up, they do not cover your back window like what this is doing right here. So it really depends on what you're using your cover for. If you want that quick and easy use and you don't mind it having it folded up when you are parked somewhere, that's fine. But if you do want something that you can hold up so that you can drive around and not have your window covered you can also take a look at our canister style options. LEER make sure to add some little extra features just to make sure that you have the best experience with your Tonneau Cover. One is that these panels can be stored in the upright position while you drive around because they have these prop rods. Now, I personally don't enjoy that experience because I like to see out of my rear view mirror. But it is a thing and it is possible thanks to how everything is secured. And there are other features like how this has a nice matte black finish as well as it being dent resistant, which is nice, especially if you're gonna be going through some extreme, maybe off-roading or working with heavy equipment. I'm actually personally impressed by how everything can be strapped down or latched down. We have this secondary latch so that your panel won't be blowing off as you drive around. You also have different latches for different things like this latch for our prop rod, and on the other side, there's a latch for your straps. So for my final thoughts about this cover is I do like how simple and easy it is to install. It was a tool-free installation, which is great, especially because I really don't like drilling into truck beds. That makes me nervous. But as for this, it was so easy to use and I would gladly and easily install again on another truck. Now, another nice thing was that how it has all these different latches, it has all these different designs, different positions, you can put them in. It's nice, sturdy. It's durable. Now, one thing I didn't like was that because it folds up, if you have it in the upright position it will cover your view from your rear window which I don't like, but people have different priorities. So if you want something and you're looking for a cover that's simple, easy to use, easy to install, is strong, is durable. Then this is a great option for you. So that was the look at the Lear HF350M Hard Tonneau Cover here at etrailer..
