Fits like a glove...
2020 Ram 1500, 5'-7" bed. Just installed it so I cannot comment on weather resistance quite yet, but I like the seals around the perimeter. Look good to me. Went with Gator this time (4th cover) because (a) the one I used to buy went from the insane price of $800 to an even MORE insane $1500, (b) no one will buy an old used tonneau cover (just a loss of $$), and (c) I tried Gator custom front seat floor mats for the first time on this truck and they were (a) perfect fit, (b) cheaper than the ones they advertise every 5 minutes at Xmas time (I've purchased 3 sets of those and never will again - Gator only here on out!), and (c) are much NICER mats than the ones they advertise at Xmas time. I was impressed! Onces again, with this cover, Gator comes in lower cost and better quality than most in the price range. I looked at a bunch and didn't want to invest a ton and felt I could trust Gator a bit after the floor mats. Went on in about 2 hours (it was about 100 degrees out), but it was my first soft cover installation. If I did another, I'm certain I could do it in less than an hour. Very clear instructions and perfect fit. Simple design and well built. Make sure you look in all the packing materials for your parts (I thought they forgot the clamps, but they were wrapped in the same brown paper as the rest of the packing). Also, look carefully - one of the nuts gets stuck in the tensioner tube - looks like they missed one - but they even put a paper notice in to look inside the tube, so they must get a lot of calls for "missing nuts". I'm keeping this truck until it rots off the frame - wanted something to protect the box - fills with water and gets between the (stupid) plastic bed liner and the box. Maybe it will rust a teeny bit slower, now.

A great product for the money! Pleasantly surprised.
Had a Truxedo top that lasted for 10 years and loved it. Went with this Gator because it was a bit less expensive and needed something in a hurry. So far, I just love this cover... fits great, looks great and has survived at least one Cleveland snow storm. Quality is VERY GOOD, better than expected. Installation is not too bad, but the clamps can be cumbersome to adjust, so having spring clamps to hold rales in place as you install the permeant clamps is recommended. Some reviews ding this product because the stitching is a bit rough, and it is, but that is not a reason to avoid this "great for this price" product. If you are looking for a good cover and don't want to invest to much, you cant to wrong with this Gator cover.

Excellent bed coverage
This truck bed cover is perfect for our Ram. It’s easy to use, folds up and latches well. Would highly recommend. Great investment overall.

Looks great! Install is easy, but a little confusing
Based on the reviews, it seems they're combing different styles into one. I got the roll-up version. It fits and looks great on my 2021 Ram 1500 short-bed.I was hesitant to buy based on my single experience owning a tonneau cover before (30 years ago!) which looked good, but was kind of a pain to use and had an annoying semi-fixed bar across the top of the tailgate. This one is MUCH improved and I'm happy with it.There are a couple of small things that have me waffling between a 4 and 5-star review. One is price. It seems to fluctuate on this product. When I bought mine a week ago, it was sixty dollars less than it is today (who knows what it is when you are reading this.) Based on my price, I'd round up to 5 stars. Based on today's price, I'd round down to 4 stars.Mine had one minor problem. One of the rails was missing an end cap so I had nothing to stick the foam pad to... but I found it in the bottom of the bow. The small screw was stripped, but since it was compressed against the back of the bed, it didn't really matter - it will stay on.My other issue was with the installation directions. At first glance they looked great. I've had so many BAD installation guides recently, but this had big, clear drawings and used English that made sense... but... I was still confused. They are very bad at telling you which direction things go or which rail goes on which side, or if the little tension block goes in the front or the back. The drawings do a poor job of conveying WHERE it is you are working (rear/back/left/right). Does this white space represent the truck or the air? It's actually fairly intuitive, but I didn't want to mess anything up, so it took me over an hour to install it . If I had to do it again knowing how things are oriented, or if I had watched a video first, I could probably install it again in 15 minutes.Yes, the rail with the lever goes on the driver's side at the tailgate end. The lever faces down.Yes, the end of the rails with the two holes/slots goes at the cab-end of the bed, and yes, that second slot is where the tension bracket goes. It's a little snug, but the cotter pin slides through the hole in the bracket that (barely) extends through the rail. Stick the pin in horizontally.Yes, the "head" (the crossbar with the rolled-up fabric) is oriented with the rubber flap facing the cab.Yes, the rails are mounted on the SIDE of the bed rim, not on top, with the "hook" tape flush with the top and leaning in at a 45-degree angle.Yes, it's a precise fit with the tailgate so make sure you position it with the gate closed. Once installed, tailgate WILL open and close without having to loosen or remove any part of the cover.The fInished appearance is tight and professional. I was afraid it was going to take significant tugging and pulling to get it to fit well, but it did not. Just rolling it out and onto the hook-and-loop was nearly perfect. Just gave a light pull as I attached it and it was good to go. Very nice.As long as the price is right, I definitely recommend this product.4.5 starsHope this helps.If you found my review helpful, please consider hitting the "thumbs up" button.

Perfect Fit and seems well made
Easy to install. The one I had on my truck was 8 years old and was destroyed by Hurricane Milton. The replacement I ordered arrived in 3 days and looks just like the one I replaced. The only difference I see is this one has the name Gator on it, where the old one had no name. A big plus is it is made in the USA so I do not expect the rubber parts to disintegrate in less than a year like they would if made in China. It hasn't rained since I put it on but it looks like it will keep the bed dry. If I find out different I will update this review, but as of now I am very satisfied.

Great value
Put this on my 2014 Ram 1500. Easy to install, looks great, functions great, and it was priced quite a bit lower than some of the other brands. Have had it on for 2 yrs now and has held up well from WI summers and winters. Highly recommend.
