Fabulous fit and finish
On my first Gladiator I had the UnderCover Ultra Flex tonneau. It was a very good cover, but IMHO the rails were fiddly and difficult to install. This Gator install was fast and seamless, and the fit and finish are excellent. It looks good and fits good. The instructions are pretty decent, and they give you separate install paths depending on whether you have a bedliner or not, and what kind. The only thing lacking is a good parts list -- they give you one, but the pictures of the various bolts, nuts, and washer are so small as to be nearly indistinguishable. I was worried only once because I had a handful of nuts/bolts that were "left over", but eventually discerned that these were provided for the alternate install path, and weren't used. Gator all the way; VERY happy with this purchase.

Great cover
I put this on my 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. It’s a great cover, install was fairly easy. Everything seems well made and high quality.FYI: Watch several YouTube videos, the most difficult part of this install is not because of the hardware but because of Jeep. If you have the factory spray in bed liner and do not have the cargo management rail system then your factory holes in the bed of the truck will most likely have overspray and be full of bed liner material. You will NOT be able to just force the bolts through in this case. I spent like $10 and bought a metric thread tap kit to clean the holes out beforehand and everything went great. In my case the bolt size is M6x1.This will be the same issue with most all low profile bed covers. Again, this is a Jeep issue and not an issue with GatorCovers

Works great for my 21 Jeep Gladiator Mojave!
This is a great cover for my Jeep. I wanted something that was able to be locked when I locked my tailgate that way I can go shopping and throw things in my bed and not worry about them being exposed. Just know that if you go through a car wash or if it rains water, it will seep through the cover into your bed. So it's not completely water proof but it will keep the majority of the water out. I also don't loose any functionality of the bed if I have big items to put there. The tri-fold works as it should and it has buckles to keep the folded part secured towards the cab. I would recommend this to anyone in search of a cover.

Almost a 4 Star rating
Installed the Gator EFX tri-fold hard cover on a new 2023 Jeep Gladiator. Watched 3 videos on YouTube prior to installing. In theory it seamed pretty intuitive. But hold on. The kit came with 6 clamps not mentioned in the video. Installing the clamps was not easy but doable. You will need two people to install the clamps. The kit comes with 10 6M (metric) bolts only ours came with 9 6M and 1 ASE (non-metric). Obviously different than the others. Had to make a trip to O’Rileys auto and buy more bolts. Recommend if you plan to install this cover be sure they sent you ALL the correct bolts. Because of poor QA, the install took most of the day. The kit comes packaged in cardboard boxes, no bubble wrap. Once the install was completed, it fit together pretty well and looks nice.

Do not buy this cover! Rail system changed for the worse!
Buyer beware!!Update 3-30-2024 as of this Gator EFX has not reached out or even returned my emails. Looks like I am going to have to fix this myself. Dropping this to 1 starGator EFX seemed to have modified the rails. It seems like the older model had a rail that was a one piece. Now the rails are split into 2 sections clamed together with these 6 clamps. This is a terrible design because the camps cannot hold the 2 pieces together tight enough for the inner rail to stay level. We adjusted these clamps for around 2 hours today. I cannot say enough how much you should not buy this bedcover.The cover will not latch. We adjusted the latch per the instructions but we still cannot get the cover to latch without putting a shim under the inner rail.The instructions say to adjust the clamps to stop it from rolling but no amount of clamp adjustment would fix the issue.. There is no video from Gator EFX showing these clamps or how to fix this issue. I can deal with bad or missing directions, but bad design that stops the product from basic functionality of closing and locking correctly is unacceptable.

Seems like a nice product for the money.
Packaging was torn and could definately be better but luckily nothing was damaged and I found piece of hardware in the street so I had everything. Install was easy and the only real issue I had was direction say to center foam seal on center of front rail but once I had cover on I had to slide backwards to get tailgate coverage and that left foam exposed. Not much play front to back.

Gator EFX hard cover install on 2021 Jeep Gladiator.
The EFX is an easy install except the directions are very poor. There are 2 rails on each side of the bed and the upper rail must clamp onto the lower rail to support the weight of the cover. They supply 6 clamps but the directions don't show how the clamps are installed. The 6 black clamps have teeth that must fit (it's a very tight fit) into the upper rail so you can slide them into position. I wish I took pictures but if you hold one of the black clamps (they're already bolted together) with the open end up, the teeth on the top of the clamp with the bolt head facing you will slide into the upper rail. Look close and you will see how it fits.

Take care in installing
The hard tonneau cover fits great. The installation is a bit difficult to fit properly but once you fine tune the fit, works great. Good product but be prepared to do a little install and uninstallation to get the right fit
