The Trifecta ALX suits owners who want the bed covered but still want to get into it fast. Extang builds it as a soft folding cover: marine-grade Ancona vinyl stretched over an aircraft-grade aluminum frame. Tool-free Jaw-Grip clamps hold it to the front bed rails with no drilling, and the whole cover lifts off in seconds for a full-length load. Fold the panels toward the cab and two thirds of the bed opens, with buckle straps holding them there while you drive. Opening it takes one hand at the tailgate. The Secure Rotary Release then catches by itself on close, and that latch is the one change from the Trifecta 2.0 underneath. Part number 90995 is the 6'1" bed application for the 2005-2021 Nissan Frontier.
What's Included:
Trifecta ALX soft folding tonneau cover, Ancona vinyl tarp on an aluminum frame
Tool-free Jaw-Grip front clamps
Bolt-on rotary latch strikers
Adhesive-free snap-on rail, bulkhead and tailgate seals
Hardware kit
Extang i-Sheet install guide
Features
Sealed at Rails, Bulkhead and Tailgate Extang rates the Ancona vinyl weather-resistant. Where covers usually leak is the edges, so snap-on triple-fin seals run down both bed rails, across the bulkhead and behind the tailgate. They clip on dry, so no adhesive touches your bed.
Fold Forward for Two Thirds Access The panels fold toward the cab and stack there, opening two thirds of the bed for gear you load over the tailgate. Buckle straps built into the cover hold the stack down so you can leave it folded and drive.
No Drilling, Nothing Cut Nothing on your truck is cut, drilled or modified, so the bed goes back to stock whenever the cover comes off. Extang rates the work Level 1 and puts it under an hour with ordinary hand tools, which puts it in reach at home.
Aluminum Frame, Ancona Vinyl Skin The frame is aircraft-grade aluminum in a textured-black EnduraCoat finish. It keeps the cover rigid without much weight and the sections fold on dual-pivot MaxHinges. Over it sits Extang's pebble-grained Ancona vinyl, a marine-grade fabric made to take the wear of daily truck use.
One-Hand Rotary Release Latch The tailgate hardware is Extang's Secure Rotary Release Latching System. Its knob sits at the driver's rear corner of the bed. Turn it, lift the rear panel and the cover is open, one-handed, with your other arm free for the load.
Built on the Trifecta 2.0 Extang built the ALX on its Trifecta 2.0 and says it carries the same features, with the tailgate latch as the update. That swap brings the Secure Rotary Release and its auto-latching close. The cover keeps a low-profile appearance.

About Extang
Extang makes tonneau covers for pickup trucks. Its Trifecta line is a family of soft folding covers: the Trifecta 2.0, on which this ALX is based, plus the Trifecta Signature 2.0, the Trifecta e-Series and the Trifecta Toolbox 2.0. The ALX keeps the 2.0's feature set and pairs it with an updated rotary tailgate latch.
Extang builds the Trifecta ALX from a set of named house components: pebble-grained marine-grade Ancona vinyl for the tarp, an aircraft-grade aluminum frame in textured-black EnduraCoat, dual-pivot MaxHinges and tool-free Jaw-Grip clamps. The company also sells Tonno Tonic, its own vinyl cleaner, which it recommends alongside plain soap and water in place of silicone conditioners.
Extang backs the Trifecta ALX with a limited lifetime warranty that runs from the purchase date for the original owner, handled through its own customer service and a return authorization process. It also publishes vehicle-specific i-Sheet install guides, so a RamBox Ram, a Jeep Gladiator or a Honda Ridgeline each gets instructions written for that truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
How much of the bed can I reach with the Trifecta ALX open?
Folded forward against the cab, the ALX leaves two thirds of the bed open, which is the working figure Extang publishes for this cover. When a load needs the full bed length, the cover lifts off in seconds without tools and clamps back on the same way, so removal is a routine step rather than a teardown.
Will the Trifecta ALX keep rain out of the bed?
The Ancona tarp is marine-grade vinyl and adhesive-free snap-on triple-fin seals run along the bed rails, the bulkhead and the tailgate, so rain, spray, dirt and dust stay off the load. Extang rates the cover weather-resistant rather than watertight, so treat it as protection from direct exposure to moisture and not a sealed box.
What is the difference between the Trifecta ALX and the Trifecta 2.0?
They share the same feature set. The difference is at the tailgate: the ALX carries the Secure Rotary Release Latching System, so it opens with one hand and relatches on its own when the cover comes back down. Extang describes the ALX as the 2.0 with that updated latch, so the latch is the reason to pick it.
Can I drive with the cover folded open?
Yes. Fold the panels forward and fasten both integrated buckle straps before you move the truck. Extang's warranty spells this out: in the open position the cover must be fully folded and secured with both buckles, and in the closed position it must be flat with all four clamps tight. A tarp left loose at speed can whip and tear, which the warranty does not cover.
How should I clean the vinyl?
Use Extang's Tonno Tonic or plain soap and water. Skip vinyl conditioners that contain silicone. Extang says they dry the vinyl out and crack it over time, and improper cleaning is one of the listed ways to void the warranty. Also clear snow, ice and debris off the top before folding the panels open or the cover can be damaged.
Does it fit trucks with a RamBox, Utili-Track or a factory deck rail system?
Yes, but the part number changes. The ALX comes in separate versions for Ram beds with and without the RamBox (the RamBox version is built for beds with the silver cargo rails), for beds with and without a Deck Rail System and for beds with and without Utili-Track. Choose the matching option when you select your truck. Extang also publishes a RamBox-specific install sheet.

Great cover for the money
The cover looks great, is completely waterproof and easy to install - make sure you watch the video first to save yourself time. Don’t assume the opener is broken when you see a piece of wire that looks like it has been cut. That is simply a piece you will install and tighten down at the end.

Perfect cover for Maverick
The price bump was 100% worth it for the single release point. Combine this with a BedRug XL and the Maverick can do truck stuff, but also has the same ease of access and useability for simple grab-and-go trips: salt, seeds, groceries, various activities! Love it.

Extang Trifecta ALX is just ok
The cover seems nice and I like the unlocking mechanism. The install wasn’t the easiest. After installed I noticed defects in the vinyl. Scratches and what not so not super happy about that being it came like that straight out of the box. I’ll for sure go with a different brand and cover next time. Most likely a solid/hard cover like a BakFlip.

Excellent, When Properly Installed
Having had a great experience using the Extang Trifecta 2.0 for the past 3 years on a 2020 GMC Canyon, I was excited to get this Trifecta ALX with its new latching mechanism for my new 2023 Ram 1500. The initial install was a little tricky because I tried to do it only off of the written instructions. Watching the install video helped a lot, especially the part showing how the clamps are adjustable from side to side. Once I got everything lined up and properly adjusted, the new closing and opening mechanism of the ALX is much more convenient than the one on the 2.0. Have been using it for about 4 weeks now, and I very much like it. Would buy again, and would recommend this new Trifecta ALX model over the older 2.0 model.

Great fitting cover
Purchased for my ‘22 GMC Denali 1500 with the 6.5’ bed. It showed up in Idaho in 2 days. Watched the installation video which made the install go quick and easy. Didn’t experience any issues with the install. It fit very well. Wasn’t sure about the folding tonneau but my son talked me into it. He has the soft roll up style. Father in law said stay away from metal roll-up. Love how the Tri-fold is working. Opened it and secured to transport my wheel barrow. Turned out it fit under it. Went thru the car wash and it kept my bed completely dry. I was shocked. The ease of operation makes me love this cover more and more. I would highly recommend this cover. If my lab eats this one, I will buy another after I deal with him.

Truck bed cover
I have had this cover on for over 1 month now and I really do like it. The cover seems well made and fits great. I have not had any issues with water getting inside the truck bed after I installed this cover. The latch mechanism is the weak link on this bed cover. They should engineer the latch so it could be opened from either side of the truck. Also, it is made of too flimsy materials. Value for the money spent is great overall.

Tonneau Review
On my old truck I had the original all snap version of the Extang. Using it in cold weather was tough trying to snap it closed. I wanted a solid cover for my new GMC 1500 but did not want to spend the money. I think it was a wise choice buying the ALX. Easy to install, easy to remove, and easy to fold up and store while on the truck.

Phenomenal
I did a lot of research on finding the right bed cover for my 2014 Ram. Every cover I’d look at people in reveries claimed this or that. I was specifically looking for a cover that didn’t break the bank, looked nice, secure, actually kept the truck bed dry from weather, and was convenient to operate and/or remove. Literally, this cover checks all the boxes and then some and my truck bed stays completely dry. Package arrived in a fair amount of time. No damages, etc and fit like a glove.

needs improvement
Latch brackets on 2015 f350 long bed ,which are probably the same on other ford models, need redesign to provide more positive latching. Spent alot of time trying to reposition these so that it catches the cover securely. Boys u can do better. Also the shipping packaging is horrible. First unit came with bottom blown out due to the skimpy box tape abraided through and damage to product and missing parts. Sent it back to only receive another blown out bottom, but not as bad. Forced to use this one due to pending trip. Mfg overnighted parts to make things work, kudos to them. All this could have been avoided by sturdier packaging tape and fasteners.

Great folding soft bed cover for 2024/2025 Tacoma
I got the Extang Trifecta ALX soft folding tonneau cover for my 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport around 6 months ago. It was easy to install and comes off/on easy when you need to remove it. It fits like a dream and looks so nice. I initially hesitated as it is more expensive but it was worth it as the design of the easy latch system and quality are great. The pebble vinyl looks really nice. I highly recommend it for 2024 & 2025 Tacomas.

Looks good, functions well
Install was simple there are a whole bunch of videos on line. Simple set up and does exactly what I want it to do. When the tailgate close it is secure. Of course like any soft cover if someone really wants to destroy the cover and get in they can. I got this cover for my 2025 Tundra and it is beautiful on this truck. No issues with sound or rattles or moisture getting in. We haven’t had any serious downpours but drizzle has not made it through any of the edges or corners. I am not expecting the cover to be waterproof but so far nothing has got through. Really glad I got this cover.
