Question:
How is this cover in cold weather? Looking for a cover that I can use all year round. Im in foothills of NC and do travel to Smokie Mountains in winter if that help for what cover would be dealing with.

Hey Dan, those details definitely helped! (the Smokie Mountains in the winter is beautiful)
The TruXedo Deuce 2 # TX748901 is a solid all-season soft tonneau cover and should do just fine for your setup in the NC foothills and trips to the Smokies. It’s built with vinyl that stays flexible in colder temps and has an auto-tension system that helps keep the cover tight as temperatures change, so you don’t get that loose, saggy look in winter. That said, it’s still a soft roll-up cover, so in heavier snow you’ll want to brush it off to prevent sagging, and the Velcro side rails can get a bit stiff if they ice up. If you think you'll be dealing with heavy snow or harsh winter conditions, a hard cover would be the better long-term choice.
BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK26204 is the hard cover option I'd recommend if you're interested. Has a lock for security, better weather protection, and improved durability without jumping to the highest price tier.
What do you haul in winter; tools, skis, or hunting gear?
