Anyone have one on their SUT? I have a hard time thinking that it is worthy of 1K of my cash. I hope an aftermarket solution will come out soon!

Yep. I bought one with my SUT, and I love it. It keeps out the rain very well and locks the tailgate. I also bought the bed mat to keep things from rolling around and protect the bed. I never haul anything tall in the truck, so cutting off the height is not an issue. I would definitely recommend the cover.

Good to know, I toss things in all the time...and I am also wondering how hard it is to remove and put back on?

I have both the bed mat and the cover. they are both great. Water proof and you can stand on the cover to wash the roof.

Is there an online place where I can get a mat?
I have the tonneau cover on my SUT (came with it), and love it since I'm constantly toting my son's baseball and football gear with me 24/7.
VT, I don't think that removal/reinstallation would be too difficult, but I'm betting once you have it on, you'll probably never want to remove it.

At the time I bought the SUT with the bed cover, I wasn't convinced the cover was a good idea. One road trip is all it took to prove it's a terrific thing to have. Like others said, it keeps contents dry, it's sturdy and it has a reasonably secure locking system on it.
After reading your question about removing and re-installing, I had a closer look at the mounting. IMO, you'll have to have a darned good reason to want to do that. It's not a complicated intall but then again, it's not something you'll want to do for a quick trip to the hardware store.
The good news is, the lid raises to a high enough vertical angle that you can likely put your mother-in-law back there in a rocking chair even with the lid on. (If she talks back, ditch the chair and close the lid -- she'll fit. )
The Hummer bed mat is thick, fits perfectly and has drain holes. I haven't seen an after market product that fits exactly but there's probably one out there that fits okay and will work. The Hummer brand mat isn't too costly and it definitely matches the overall theme of the truck.

I bought my bed mat on EBAY, but they're very few and far between. My cover came with the truck. I never plan on removing it, but I have heard that it can take a few hours... You'll probably end up having to buy both from the dealer.

I HAVE THE TONNEAU SITTING IN THE BOX, BUT HAVENT GOTTEN IT INSTALLED YET. THE TECH AT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT TAKES BETWEEN 2 AND 4 HOURS DEPENDING..(sorry for the caps)...i also have the bed mat in the back. it has been raining, and w/o the tonneau ive been in trouble, as i can tkeep anyting in the bed, so myu back seat is filled, and no one can sit. I would say 100% until a slant back is available the tonneau is a must

I have the tonneau and the mat, and I think that they are both a must. However, I didn't realize the tonneau is strong enough for a person to stand on. Timgco are you sure that its made to support weight?

Can-Back was supposed to be making a soft top like on the Dirt Sports Edition, but I haven't heard anything further....

Alright, for those of us about 5'9 190, can we expect the t-cover to support our body weight? It seems non-loadbearing to me, but I don't want to find out the hard way.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
5'7" 168lbs and I always stand on this with the tailgate closed and stand on the sides (not in the middle). somehwere they list a max weight for the thing... at least I thought I read this somewhere in the info when i bought the truck.
DAN, I do like th elooks of that too. the slant back would be nice, but that looks sweet too. Since I'm working on the Slant Back with TecStar (or least trying) how about you give Can Back a call too see what the deal is. or someone get me their info and I'll give em a call.

My rig didn't come with the t-cover, but it was something really I wanted, so I dropped the K to have them install it before I picked it up. Definitely worth the money. In the short time I've had it, I've put everything from groceries to you name it in there. I've ordered the mat and will be picking it up when it gets in. I plan on using it for luggage, beach chairs, all manner of things that used to go in the interior of my Durango, but I hated putting in there. As for removing it, I've got a utility trailer that's larger than a pickup bed (and it's a hell of a lot lower and has a ramp), so I don't plan on ever needing to remove it.
