From The Driver Seat
Most of us like surprises, and in the case of this new DiamondBack HD-X tonneau cover, we were surprised. It was simple to install with one wrench, the heavy-duty locking mechanisms work well, and the cover keeps contents in the bed dry thanks to a compression seal. Another cool perk is the gull-wing opening action because it allows you instant access to the front or back of the bed without crawling all over the place. Complete with twelve tie down cleats, securing cargo is easy and with seven individual aluminum box channel supports under the cover's aluminum top, heavy loads will not bow or damage the cover. If the need arises to use the entire bed, each panel can be removed in as little as 10 minutes. With the Line-X protectant applied to the cover, it should last as long as the truck.
