Diamondback Truck Bed Covers

Does anyone have a Diamondback Truck Cover? Do you haul ATVs on top, how do you like it, how easy is it to remove in a hurry???

I found a thread from last fall with all the info. I see a new bed cover in my future. Thanks to Lary.

Robert, I don't know much about them, but they look pretty cool. Here is a link with their website. Hopefully somebody can chime in with some personal experience with them.

Running a search, there are quite a few people here that have them, and nobody seems to have anything negative to say.

A friend of mine has a Monster Hauler ramp. It's different than the Diamondback in that it is one piece heavy steel, and also I don't think the Diamondback puts the weight on the floor of the bed. He has a shop with an overhead hoist to take it out, though.

The Diamondback's advantage appears to be that it comes out in sections and can be removed by one person w/o a hoist...

I've been using one for almost 2 years. Works well. The gasket is starting to peel off the front panel. Possibly from the heat we have here.

Thumbs up

I bought mine in Jan. of this year, and am very happy with it. It does come off in sections easy. I have the SE model so it handles up to 400lbs and everything i need it to haul. Basically what the website says, is true.
