Re: Wanting a bed cover
I have had a Craftec on my long bed truck for about 4 years now. Truck is always outside during the summer and after a decent rain I always take a towel and wipe out the bed. I have a wood bed and want to keep it nice. I would say it has done a nice job of keeping the bed mostly dry but does leak some on the sides. More rain resistant than rain proof. For the money I plan on getting one for my current short bed project. I like the low profile appearance.

Re: Wanting a bed cover
I've seen great reviews on Extang Covers and they make a few different styles for our trucks. https://extang.com

Re: Wanting a bed cover
I’m tossed between the Craftec at $299 or the TruXedo Lo Pro at $500. I have the TruXedo Lo Pro on my 2016 and has been a excellent cover but I think the craftec will be a better fit for the c20.
