Syneticusa Ram 1500 Retractable Bed Cover 5.7 FT | Hard Tonneau Ram 1500 Compatible 2009–2026 | Waterproof Truck Bed Cover | Key Double Locking System | Heavy Duty, Leak Resistant | 5-Year Protection

Why SyneticUSA I sold my previous Ram Laramie 2016 with a Gator Trax retractable. It still worked, but the slide was starting to drag somewhat. Not what I expected for a 3 year old product. I bought a 2020 Built to Serve Ram and I needed a retractable for a variety of reasons. I researched, shopped, and wore out the internet looking for something I thought would be better than the Gator Trax. Better meaning quality AND price. Most retractables start around 1,000 dollars and go up to way off of my scale of worth. I came across the SyneticUSA on amazon. Price was lowest of any retractable I came across. That certainly made me nervous, but saw I could return it. So I ordered. Opening of Box Impressions Well packaged, instructions better than last retractable I owned. Top is solid aluminum slats, nicely finished. Four drain tubes over most that offer two, lots of rubber and foam gaskets to seal out water. Even extra wide foam strip in case tailgate didn't seal perfectly. Really looked like a quality product. Assembly Install took me one hour, but I did have a little experience from previous retractable. Instructions we readable, and all of my pieces fit together well. I did entire job myself, but would recommend two people for the process of lifting and setting on the truck bed and positioned. Manufacturer went the extra step of providing some extra parts for areas where you might experience wear and tear (locking assembly). Misc. I had read in the 5th gen Ram forum that while the entire unit was black, four bolts that hold down the rollback cover were silver. Mine were as well, but with a little left over hi temp flat black I had for the BBQ, I sprayed them waited an hour and installed. They look great! I had also read that the two locks for the top have separate keys. The manufacturer even responded to an FAQ stating the computer design program gave unique keys to all locks. HOWEVER, they may have fixed that as my two keys were the same and worked in both locks Impression The unit has only been on the truck two weeks. So far, very impressed and really happy with it. Looks great and matches the flat black on my truck perfectly. For the price, I don't think you can beat it. I have not experienced rainy weather yet, but will update when that happens. I will update this with photos shortly (dark outside) as well as after using it for a while. I would recommend this product.

Great cover. Very sleek. Needs two people for the install for sure but other than that very easy to install.

Bought this a few days ago for my Ram 1500, based on price point and some reviews about this product. Took me about 3 hours to assemble due to bad instructions and the video not explaining some things correctly. Also the overall length is a tad short (about half an inch or so), so you have to really align the canister end such that it is barely touching the bulkhead of the truck bed. Even with all of that there is still a small gap on the tailgate end through which some water can seep in, so I now need to think of a way to close this gap. Overall looks pretty good, so would still give it about 3.5 stars.

I had one of these on a 2018 Ram LoneStar for years and absolutely loved it, so buying a new one when I upgraded to a '24 Rebel was a no brainer. Installation is much easier if you have a second person, so grab a friend and get some quality time in. Directions are really straight forward imo - Granted, we had done this before, but it took two of us a little over an hour to assemble and attach. I drive all over the country with a full bed, and my last cover had about 18k miles through all kinds of conditions with no issues. In the month I've had this cover, we've gone about 1,000 miles through blizzards, sand storms, and 70mph crosswinds in mountain passes (seriously the weather has been brutal lately) and it's still looking brand new. The locks have already been "tested" by a random person in the middle of the night, but they weren't able to crack them. I love this cover, would absolutely recommend it

Great cover, we love it. It does take some work to get it on. Some holes needed drilling, instructions not very good. Definitely need 2 people to install.

I was a little skeptic about the product as I was not sure how it would fit and look in my RAM 1500 Rebel. i have to say that I extremely pleased with the look, versatility and the quality. The installation was super easy, it took me about 35 minutes. You definitely need a second person to help you position it on the truck bed. It looks like it belongs on the truck and is super easy and convenient to use. I only have two negative aspects that I think the manufacturer should improve: 1. Make the top screws black to match the cargo finish 2. Remove the outside latches and key and place them in the inside, so the cover can be locked just by closing the gate. I fund it a little annoying that I have to carry a key around to lock it or unlock it. Aside from those two little issues I find with the product I still give it a 5 star rating!!!

First impression- 3 Stars. Seems descent but a tad expensive. Install was moderately easy after watching the video on the item page, but at the same time it definitely not the easiest installation. Two people would have made the process way easier. For now though I'd say good product just a bit pricey. UPDATE- 1 Star. After a year and some change, this cover did not hold up. The paint job on the panels have oxidized. This probably wouldn't be a huge issue but they are changing colors at different rates, so some of the cover is still a dark black while other parts have faded to a shade of dark grey. The latching mechanism isn't the best. It is barely strong enough to hold shut. This makes the locks basically useless. With a firm push it will open even when locked shut. Overall if this product was half the cost it would be ok, but for the cost there are better options out there.

Very happy with ease of assembly and installation

Easy to install

I highly suggest having a helper if you are attempting to install this yourself! A bit awkward, and not easy to put in the bed by yourself if you put it together beforehand. Takes a bit of time to set it right. However the end result as it stands makes it worth every penny it costs. The overall build quality is very impressive for the price! Only tick against it was I had to get more weatherstripping due to half of it being crushed making it unusable out of the package. A small price and a minor inconvenience. The overall practically, and versatility of this cover is amazing! Don't think I'll ever go back to a trifold! Sure the canister does take space in the box, but it's not much compared to other, more expensive retractables. You can put a decent amount of stuff under the canister. And if you have a bedslide like one of my friends does. Surprisingly, they don't interfere with eachother. If you have a bed extender/cargo divider. I can't speak for all, however ones I've seen and measured do fit without either hanging up on eachother. So far the cover has kept the bed and contents which I had a bunch of cardboard in, dry as a bone from any rain light or heavy, driving or stopped. I imagine water could get in from a pressure wash but I haven't tried it yet. Overall, very impressed on what I got for the price!

Pain to put together and Instructions are difficult to navigate. Padding came disfigured and the lining of the unit was slightly mangled. Just not packaged with any care overall. Still a better price than what’s around me for the issues. Looks good and works.
