Bought this for my 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss with the 5’9″ (69 inches) bed. Initial thoughts: It was well packaged, arriving in a well sealed box. Opening the box the entire cover was placed in a nice bag. Once the bag was removed, all the parts were folded up neatly into the cover. The front and back clamps for the cover were already in place and the only extra parts that were there were the weather stripping for the front of the bed (there were 2 included since some people complained about the thickness and not getting a good seal), extenders for the knobs, and pads for clamps where they contact the side of the bed. I did not use the pads or extenders for my installation. I unfolded it in my kitchen and inspected the parts and the function prior to watching the installation video (just google Tyger Cover and look for your version, mine was the T3). A short video showed how to line it up, install the front clamps and safety hooks, and then the back clamps. I did the entire installation in about 20 minutes, including putting down the weather strip and lining it up and securing all the clamps. Installation was very easy and it fit nicely in my truck. Overall it seems well built and should suit the purposes I wanted for now, that being keeping anything I throw in the back dry and keeping the snow out of the truck bed in winter. Clearly, this is a vinyl cover and will not offer any sort of security, so if that’s a concern, this isn’t the cover for you. *** Some of the things I had very minor concerns about but not enough to dock it any stars (given the price): 1). Where the unit folds, the vinyl is out of shape, and you can see the ‘hump’ looking at it from the side. I’m hoping that over time this will relax and become more flat. You might be able to see it in one of the photos. 2). One thing that I don’t like personally, is that you can not fold up the last section. So, in order to get access to the whole entire bed, you have to basically take it off completely. The clamps for the front part don’t allow you to fold up the entire cover against the back window like some others do. I don’t see this as a major issue, but if you’re constantly loading large items that require full bed access, you’ll have to take this off completely to do so. 3). May not be a concern yet, but I wonder if it will be in the future – The knobs are plastic and felt like they might snap if you put too much pressure on them or if you use them on days when it’s extremely cold. Maybe they’ll be OK, but during installation, I could easily tell that I could snap them if I forced them too tight. In general, I’m happy with this purchase and I hope it lasts a while, until I can afford to upgrade to a solid one that can hold some weight. For now, really just wanted to keep my items in the back dry, and keep the weather out of the truck (plus it looks nicer).
