Will this cover mount to my factory bed rails or do I need brackets?

This tonneau mounts directly to existing factory bed rail attachment points — no additional brackets required. Standard hand tools are all you need for installation.

Can I still use my tailgate with the cover on?

Yes. The tri-fold design allows the entire cover to fold flat against the cab, giving you full tailgate and bed access. No removal necessary.

Does this need paint or prep before installing?

The cover ships ready to install — no paint or prep work required. If you want to match a custom color down the line, the soft material can be dyed or painted after installation, but it's not necessary out of the box.
