I hope you send the. A screenshot of this comment, because I’m looking at spending the 3K on a secure and Weather tight cover that sustains a load. Just found the Renegade comparison to Diamondback. TBH…I didn’t know they(Diamondbacks )had a competitor in weight carrier covers. I was excited, and love the non- protruding locks and tie downs on the Renegade…but keeping out water and dust is FUNDAMENTAL when making a purchase of this cost for a bed cover. Appreciate any follow up they have done with you, because if they Have not fixed this issue with you individually, they lost a real time sale. Thanks for being real and posting this, with so little reviews of Renegade available 🇺🇸👊🇺🇸

I am not advertising for diamondback as I know nothing other than “word of mouth” about them. It’s just my frustration and lack of support from Renegade makes me wish I would have went a different direction. No one should base their buying decision off one persons thoughts/views/review. Below is the exact email I just sent last night to the company. I excluded names as I’m not trying to personally attack anyone publicly. I will post a comment after all this is resolved to let everyone know the outcome. Email to Renegade: I am not sure why you guys are not replying to my text messages. I still have a defective cover and your company refuses to make it right. Is this how you stand behind your product? John Doe you told me on 4/15 you made the owner aware and you were sending a kit to repair the issue . John Doe 2, you told me on two separate occasions you shipped me something to make the repair, but when I asked for the tracking numbers I get nothing. Please contact me so we can resolve this issue. I also need the owners name and contact information.

Rick - thanks for sharing your review of the Renegade cover. Don't mean to hijack your experience, but wanted to share mine here since you have a good audience. I bought mine in April 2021 after weeks of research and comparisons with the DiamondBack. In fact, I hadn't heard of Renegade until I started researching the DiamondBack! Like you, it took a while to get it; close to 4 months or more at the time. I have noticed an improvement in communications since then, but it wasn't hard to improve from dismal. Like you, I received the wrong hardware (2017+ Ford bracket for a 2013 Super Duty). They were quick to resolve that. Since using the cover for almost a year, I can tell you that it has not held up to half of the marketed use-cases; it often goes out of alignment after running on gravel roads, not to mention "overlanding". Just this weekend, after camping and running it in it's folded state, the middle panel came out of alignment and it no longer will close properly. It has gotten to the point of worrying if the cover is going to fail me out in the field by not opening or closing properly when I need it. To say I've been disappointed is an understatement. So, you're not alone in your assessment and I caution others who might be on the fence to really do the best research they can on the options available to them. I'll be reaching out to Renegade first thing tomorrow, also, and hope to find an alternative rather than sending it to the recyclers.

@@---tx9xx To follow up on this... Renegade returned my calls and gave me some advice on shifting the panels back into place. After describing another issue with the torsion bar (for dual latch operation), they sent out some aluminum shims to help get the rails sitting properly to actually engage the gears. However, I find it much easier to simply pull the handle on both sides rather than deal with a torsion bar that may not work 100% of the time. Fast forward to now... I find myself cursing every time I use the bed of the truck, as more often than not one rail has fallen out of alignment and the pins get stuck, or the rod within the rail that engages the pin (to secure it) is bent in such a way that I can no longer lock that side without bending it back into place. Closing the lids too hard might result in the rails falling out of alignment and creating issues down the road. I'm hesitant to put any sort of load on top (even if it's secured), as the cover could accidentally be disengaged on any one or more corners due to the issues mentioned earlier, which could compromise its ability to stay in place with a load on top. One turn and the laws of physics could cause the cover to come off and the load with it. These are all issues that shouldn't really be issues given the price. To be honest, I think the steel bed (2013 F-350) is problematic given the lack of good mounting points for the rails. The new body style F-150 and Super Duty's are probably better off in that regard. I really dig the looks of the cover and its potential, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I should've gone with the DiamondBack.

Renegade, if you are reading monitoring these comments I see that you have lost out on at least a few hundred thousand dollars in sales all because you failed to provide adequate customer service to a paying customer. A tad more effort, would have made you a lot more money. Damn shame too, because I like the Renegade more, but with an investment at that price point - you can't beat quality and customer service.

I bought my renegade before this review was made and i had a very similar experience. Took 4 times longer than was promised. I was also sent the wrong hardware, they did over night me some new brackets, that i still had to modify to make work. The directions were horrible, it took over 2 weeks to get it on and operating correctly. Now i have had it for over 4 years now. Im still not impressed, it leaks water horribly, shifts out of place on gravel roads, and if you secure a load on top of it( 4 wheeler)the upwards pressure of the tie down pops the corners up and unsecured the load as well as bending the slide latch mechanism. Its pretty much worthless. It does look good though 😂 i still get comments on it. BTW i purchased a diamondback for my wifes truck and it has performed flawless. Lesson learned.

I’ve been talking to renegade and I’m not liking the things they told me about this guy. Very unprofessional to divulge. They claim Rick was asking them to send him a new cover, plus half his money back and they were like no. That’s all they told me. It’s weird they told me anything at all to be honest. They also claim the leaky cover was due to a training issue they had. I also asked them about the issue I have heard about their covers shifting around after off-roading . They apparently sell a reinforcement kit that is essentially a turnbuckle chain that you tighten up to the floor of your bed. It looks rather cheesy. I was literally about to pull the trigger on this cover till I found this and dug deeper. It kind of appears this thing has some design flaws and given their crazy lead time, I don’t have much faith in them as a company being around long enough to support their products. It doesn’t look good.

I was hoping for everyone sake that they had improved but it doesn’t really look like it. I haven’t really paid attention to any posts in a long time. It’s interesting reading a lot of the feedback.

Dang, I really like the design and look of the Renegade vs the Diamondback. Did they ever fix your issues? If it didn't leak, would you have a positive opinion of it?

Glad I saw this. Thanks. I need a cover and won’t wait for Renegade to get its act together even though I think the design has a couple nice advantages. Some things are not meant to be.

Thank you! I really wanted a renegade but was worried about the wait time and lack of info not made by the company! You saved me time and money from buying Renegade junk! Thank you again!

Thank you for sharing your honest experience with Renegade. I was on the fence on buying a Renegade cover vs Diamonback. After your horror story with Renegade I am 100% buying Diamondback!

I did and really like it. Was going to do a comparison video, but didn’t want it to look like I was bashing Renegade so left well enough alone. My diamondback experience was flawless. Very good company. Got it very fast as well and compared to renegade very simple to install. Good luck to you!

FYI everyone...I spoke with a Diamondback rep in March 2023 and he stated Diamondback will be releasing a Trifold truck cover by April 2023. Rated for at least 400lbs on top. Did not get details on placement of hinges and locks.

Thank you very much for sharing this. Do you have any further details? Will the front area panels be able to be tilted up as in the renegade for access to the front of the cargo bed and or cargo bin?

Thanks for the review . Owned a diamond back going on two years, and my only complaint is that I am too rough on the hydraulic strusts, as I have broken the ends of the arms on the hydraulic struts. Diamondback has sent them with a no questions asked warranty and usually receive replacements the same week. Last time they sent me a spare , apparently I am the only one complaining of it and they want to be proactive.. I am currently looking at the renegade because we are planning on purchasing a fifth wheel/gooseneck RV and the diamondback would be more of a pain to remove when need to used 5th wheel. Diamond back is not 100 % water proof, I would say 90%. Leaks a bit on sides as the gaskets hold water depending on parking angle. No water above cargo though.

thanks, hard to tell with these things as some people report the diamondback is 100% waterproof and a variecing of fu or two of the renegade made by them if they say that it's also 100% waterproof which truck models you have? maybe depends on installation?

@@---tx9xx I have a 2018 Titan and a 2015 f150. I would say the diamond is the closest thing to water proof I have seen. I said 90 %, but probably close to 97%. Literally a few drips down the side of the bed ans I should have said this happens when you open it due to the gaskets holding water inside . If the you sealed off the end of the gaskets, it probably would not happen.

Appreciate your honest review. We too have been waiting since last year (OCT). Communication not good at all. So sad, we went to love the cover too! Hope ours doesn’t leak and they sent the proper hardware. Ours is here in town waiting delivery….-Sadly, Renegade never notified us that it shipped:( ( even with their supposed improved customer service efforts) ALSO, I think it is terrible business practice that they ask for full payment ahead of shipment when you have customers waiting more than six months for delivery.

Thank you for your review. We just bought a 5th wheel, and I sadly have to remove my diamondback (which I love). I was looking into the renegade, but because of your honest review, I won’t be wasting money on a renegade. Good news for people with a 5th wheel. Diamondback told me that they’re coming out with a folding cover that works for 5th wheels. 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you for posting your review. I was about to purchase this cover today even though it would take till the middle of October at the earliest, that is if their supplier is able to deliver hinges by mid September. Crazy. Great looking bed cover though.
