Waterproof Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2020 Ram 1500 5.5 ft Bed  

Published 01/16/2020

Question:

Just one other question and I won’t bother you again. I traded trucks today . This is the RAM 1500 limited with the 5 1/2 bed that has the multi function tailgate. This is a 2020 model. There are braces across the front corners behind the cab that look like could be in the way . My salesman today talked to Gwen at your place and she checked and said this cover would 100 percent work on this truck. I just want to confirm this with you and I will order the cover. Just want to be sure so there is no need for return.

It is hard to make a tonneau cover that's totally waterproof but the Lomax Professional Series Hard Tonneau Cover # AB0040039 will keep the contents of your truck bed drier than any other cover out there due to the watertight seals around the perimeter of the cover and the water tight hinges of the cover. If you are looking for the most waterproof cover for your 2020 Ram 1500 5-1/2 foot bed this is what you'll want!

I do have one other question. I saw on your website that the Lomax hard tonneau —folding —aluminum matte black Item number AB 1040039. It seems to be the same thing made of a different and somewhat lighter material. Will this one keep out water as well as the first one I asked you about. Thanks for your help—I think I am probably going to get one or the other of these.

The Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover # AB1040039 that you referenced is essentially the same thing as the # AB0040039 but with different top panels. Both are aluminum but the # AB0040039 is a diamond plate aluminum and the # AB1040039 is a matte black finish. It is also about 10 lbs lighter. They both perform the exact same in regards to keeping out water too.
