As you know, there aren't a lot of affordable options for tonneau covers for the Gladiator yet. I haven't seen anything under $400. So I ordered this from Amazon and installed yesterday. It doesn't fit "perfect", but fits just fine for what I wanted it for. It's for a 2016-2018 Tacoma. it's a roll up tonneau, which is perfect for my needs. I'm very happy with it! Oh, it was only $139 :rock:

I think it looks pretty good! The only thing I can really see is the back corners not exactly matching, but that's not worth about $300 to me! I think I may definitely go this route. What do you think of the quality on this one?

Thanks! And yes, the back corners are the main area that doesn't fit perfectly. But it's so close, it doesn't matter to me. The cover will serve it's purpose and saved me a LOT of money that I can now use to buy something else! :like:
The quality of the cover appears to be awesome! Just had heavy rains this morning and zero water inside the bed.

is it also locked closed when the tailgate is locked, like the factory version? That's huge for me.

The factory doesn't really lock.
no, but it tucks behind the tailgate, so you're not just going to open it up without considerable force. This one doesn't appear to do that, like it could just be pulled open even with the tailgate closed

How does it blend in with the black soft top? Looks like you might have the premium...

I bought the colorado version, it was $9 more, will be installing tonight. Not sure how different they are...
What is the 'colorado' version? Do do you have a link?

This one does lock, you have to pull a cable to open it that is inaccessible when the tailgate is closed.

Yes, it's got a channel that it latches into so you can't open it if the tailgate is locked. I mean, anyone that wanted to get into it bad enough could get into it, but it does latch. You have to open the tailgate and pull a cable underneath the cover to get it to unlatch, like the factory cover.
