V2 Powered Tonneau Cover installed on Gen1 R1T is super quiet (sound on video)

[nsuglerio]

Update : New PTC is installed and works great and is silent from inside the truck. Apparently they just got 10 more in at the local service center so they are getting more with time. Took a little over a day for the install for anyone wondering.

Cheers for everyone else getting theirs.


Sound included for those who are curious.

I just picked up my gen1 from the Sheperdsville service center with the new V2 powered tonneau cover installed.

It’s super quiet.

Thanks. I couldn't find any other recordings online of how quiet it is.
I get mine next week.

If I still had my Gen 1 I'd be doing this. I'm on Gen 2 but only v1 was available with the trim I wanted. Still happy with the latest v1 cover, it's actually pretty quite for me.

Looks even more waterproof than the 1.5 version.

If yours break under warranty... you could get a v2.

Water-resistant. None of the PTCs were marketed as waterproof. People assumed that on their own. Saw water running down the sides, after rain/washing, and freaked out.

I got mine today - first v1 replacement in all of Hawaii. I barely used my v1 knowing it could break, but some friends wanted a ride to the airport on a rainy day, so... Luckily it happened only a couple months ago, and now I have a replacement I can confidently use on the regular.

Edit: before @COdogman can say anything, the friends did not ride in the bed

That’s really slick. Looks fantastic

How much is this installed if you don't have it replaced under warranty?

I wish my V1 would break so I could get the V2. Mine sounds loud and clunky, but still works.

Ahem, lets say you encountered a freak sand storm...
