does this cover work well if you have the tailgate step? Leaks? Locks?

I have the tailgate step and it works pretty darn well. It will leak a bit at the car wash but really does a good job if well aligned with the rear seal extending and inch or so onto the tailgate. The remained of the bed stays completely dry. The amount of moisture is very minimal and, absent heavy precip, the bed is completely dry underneath. Can you tell I am very happy with this product?? Hope so. It is not cheap but it does its job very well.

I don't know anything about a tailgate step. The unit allows water to travel down the rails and drain vial two supplied pvc hoses. If you have a bed liner, you can drill a hole in each front corner and stick the hoses through so the water can drain under your bed liner and out the back of the truck. If you don't have a bed liner, you will have some moisture in the bed. Nothing drastic though. If your tail gate locks, then you're set as far as locking goes as the top can not be opened unless the tail gate is lowered first.

Mine has the step also, and I have never seen it leak. The "lock" is a cable that is only accessible when the tailgate is down. It is similar in design to the catches on the tailgate itself. Cable draws in both catches on either side.

I like it because I can lock my tailgate and secure valuables stored in box. Keeps contents dry from rain and carwashes, but not from dust on gravel roads.

I'm extremely pleased with this cover. It is simple to intall, works very well, and I've had no leaks. Locking your tailgat secures the covered bed and contents. The cover itself does not have a separate lock. It wouldn't be impossible to break into, but I can't think of any other way it could be as simple and effective. I have the tailgate step....and no leaks.

I have the step and have not noticed any internal leaks. It should drain between the inner and outer skins so the interior of the bed stays dry.

You only need it if you have some kind of bed cover. It will keep rain and dirt From coming in through the tailgate.

The cover snaps closed on one side and is opened from the inside of the truck bed. If your tailgate locks you can not open the cover.

HI.......I have a Ford Crew Cab with a locking tailgate......If you have a locking tailgate.....the only way you would get it off is with a crowbar.....It was two spring loaded locking devices...one on each rear side and it's clamped on both front edges...I love it and it doesn't leak in any weather.

A locking tailgate would be the only way to prevent access to the bed. Keep in mind the cover is made out of a fine cloth and only helps conceal what is inside.

Not that I'm aware of. I have a locking tailgate on my truck and use it to secure my payload. But I don't think the cover itself is lockable.

It only works if the tailgate is up and locked. If you want to be more secure, you have to put a hose clamp or a mcguard lock around the right side hinge point. This way they have difficulty removing it in the down position or if you forget to lock it.

I have this cover on my Frontier. The way you lock the cover is by locking the tailgate. The only way to open the cover is by first opening the tailgate. The g2 works great and barely any water gets in the truck bed when it is pouring out. I recommend this product.

Yes I have it on my double door. no lock but your tailgate may lock so you can't open it. Only can open the tonno from inside of bed.

It doesn't lock on it's own. The latches to open are on the underside of the cover. The only way to open is to open the tailgate. If the tailgate can be locked then this will effectively lock the cover.

Yes it does lock down. The only way you can open the bed cover is when the tailgate is open. All the latches are under the bed cover.

The cover doesn't lock by itself, but it fully seals the top of the bed, so as long as your tail gate locks, then it is completely inpenitrable

It clips to your truck bed. I have a locking tailgate and that helps keep the bed secure. It is not perfect but you would have to work at it to break in with your tailgate locked.

I have this on a 2014 f150 4x4 5.5ft bed w/ the pull out step in the tailgate. It seals up just fine & for the price you can't beat it.

I had a similar one on my 2002 Silverado for almost 10 years until it broke last year. No one ever messed with it. Keeps stuff out of sight, out of mind. I installed a different tailgate latch that included a lock as well.

It doesn't officially lock unless your tailgate is lockable. If thats the case then its pretty much secure. The only way to open the bakflip is from the underside, when the tailgate is open
