Peragon Bed Cover Reviews

looking at adding this bed cover. Any reviews good/bad/uglY/ I like that it's a hard cover, will fold inside the bed, and comes all the way out easily.

Pricey but very interesting. Definitely something to consider.

 

I installed a Peragon and was not impressed with it. First, the positives:
1. Company was VERY easy to work with and was willing to discuss installation and usage in detail before I made the purchase and afterward.
2. They do have a no-questions-asked return policy for the first 100 days - just make sure you keep ALL the original packing material to return the cover in.

I hate to say it, but those were really the only positives I could come up with. They were so nice to work with that I feel bad that I can't come up with another positive thing to say about it.
Negatives:
1. The install is a little more involved and sensitive to being off (out of square) than other covers.
2. The support edges do not overlap the bed rails metal over metal. The rubber trim is what overlaps the bed rails.
3. The whole thing seems flimsy once installed. One reason I returned mine was that I had no confidence in the strength of it. I was afraid to put anything in the bed of the truck because I was afraid of damaging the cover - especially the support rails on the sides.
4. The cover shows water marks very easily. My cover was polka dotted pretty much the entire 4-5 weeks I had it installed. It didn't matter if I washed it or not. It would soon be polka dotted again.
5. The strap used to pull the cover shut gets in the way of using the bed.
6. I know this is redundant, but I was afraid of denting it every time I wanted to use the truck bed for ANYTHING.

Again, they were a much better company to deal with than many others, so I REALLY hated to return their product, but in the end, I wanted a cover that would last 10+ years like the cover on my last truck. There is no way a Peragon will last 10 years if you use your truck bed for anything. It WILL get damaged.

 

You have talked me out of it. Thank you!

 

I have one for sale right now. I disagree with some of the above comments. When it's installed and tight, I found it was very sturdy and I had no qualms about putting something on top of it. I ordered the "no drill" kit, which may or may not be what the commenter had.

When it's installed and aligned correctly (as the commenter said, it's a bit tedious), it works great. It looks fantastic. However, you cant put anything of substantial height behind the roller ramps or it'll run into it.

I had a few issues with mine, but I believe it all stemmed from having a drop-in bed liner. I didn't even realize that until after I'd removed it for good. There's just no way the adjustment rods could be set correctly, nor could they keep it steady when the liner shifts and flexes during normal use, bumps, etc. I with with a solid liner or no liner, it would have lined up and stayed in place correctly. I'm honestly kinda sorry to let it go, but I'm done with that project.

Anyway...I have the platinum package cover (costs over 1k) for 800 bucks OBO in eastern KY. I would travel some if you're interested.

 

Just for clarification, I have the OEM spray in bedliner and had the "no drill" kit.
