it can be mounted under the truck in a dry spot or under the dash it's best spot is in the center of the truck

If its under the dash it will not protect the bed. Mine is a reg cab dodge ram it is in the center dash and it only protects the cab area itself no bed

I had a convertible and mounted it in the shifter area...under heavy plastic and cloth..it would see through the shifter, console, and convertible rag top and chirp the alarm when:- cats jumped on it- I parked close to tree branches in wind-anyone getting too close to it too..it could read through the side windows fairly well and I jhad to turn down the sensitivity bc my neighbors would get chirped at simply by walking past me car....

You can mount it under or behind the seats. It should cover about 3 to 8 feet beyond the body. I suggest trial staging and see what gives you the best location. It also adjusts signal strength, so keep that in mind.

Did you clean it with an alcohol solution tissue first?And next... I hope that this does not sound foolish but did you remove the fine cellophane backing sheet? I have three of these in different vehicles, and have not had a problem of adhering even with multi curves in the dash.

Our ram has the black rails like in the picture... But it mounts under the rails ,inside the bed. My husband loves this cover. It has worked well us. It does sit right on too of the rails though

I drive a 94 Nissan Pickup with a curved dash and have no problems with my mount. It comes with a little stick on piece that you can attach the mount by the little tab at the back. I have not done this and have had no problems. The mount is heavy enough to stay put. My dash is "textured" if that would mean anything.

If the length is wrong, you ordered the wrong length. Toyota Tacomas come with (at least) two bed lengths. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong one and ended up with a cover some 10" too short. The next one fit perfectly. My error, and a costly one, but I should have made certain of the exact model of my daughter's truck before ordering. The bed widths are all the same, so if you're having trouble with that dimension, I'd think that someone at the factory screwed up. Good luck - these are great covers, once operator error is eliminated.

It is used for mounting the suction to your dash if your dash doesn't allow normal suction. I use it and it works perfectly. I'm not concerned with the possibility of damaging my dash because of the material it is made of... you will have to make that call on your own.

Short answer is no. You need to mount it where it is protected from as much water as possible. It has vent slots and water can get inside of if. If I remember correctly the instructions say to mount it in as a protected place as possible to avoid heavy splash. I mounted mine under the bed as near to the cab and as high as possible. I used a couple of pieces of angle iron brackets I bolted to the underneath and mounted it with the air slots downward so it can drain when it does get wet. I've had it over 2 years and no problems.

When I had it, I put it behind the tail light that I wired it to for the power. There was enough space back there. Depends on the truck I guess. Mine is an 08 dodge 1500. You could always retro fit a small plastic box to put it in if your handy and drill a small hole to expose the wires and antenna. Just a thought! But save your money and buy a hard wired one that I did. The transmitter picked up a lot of interference from nearby obstacles and the screen was flashing on and off all the time. At one point I watched sponge Bob. Lol I know it was a long response but good luck.

I have a Toyota Tundra. I used self drilling and tapping sheet metal screws to mount the brackets supplied with the box directly to the side wall of my truck bed. The screws are available at most industrial hardware stores. If your truck is a lease then this is not the way to go. I have seen people use wood to make adapters that will bolt to existing screw holes in the bed the screw the box brackets to the wood. Hope this is helpful.

I would also like to know the answer to this question. I also have a sport model. Can someone please clarify?

The liner would cover the edge where the clamps would fasten, there would be no way to fasten the cover to the truck. Does your liner go up on the inside and lap the top edge of your bed? If it would not work.

Each truck bed layout can be different. I suggest you check with DeeZee for actual fit for Dodge. As far as the product goes, this is a very heavy duty rubber that can protect the truck bed from rocks thrown in or other heavy objects. I would remind you, the sides of the bed are not protected like the floor would be with this product. I also installed the same product on the tailgate for added protection from my spouses rock hauling! This does provide more protection from dents than spray in liners do. If heavy hauling is not a regular thing on your agenda, look at BEDRUG for a complete carpeted bed and sides that can take a lot of abuse. I've used/installed both and prefer the BEDRUGS also available from Amazon.com

There are several places under the truck, just look for a space to fit it in. You want to make sure that going over trails of rough roads it doesn't get hit by something in the truck. I haven't put one on the ford. I had one put on a 07 Dodge.

Just by friction if you choose to do that. The screw mechanism forces the mount under the lip of the side rail. It would work better on a standard size truck bed than my Toyota. I ended up screwing into the bed on the bottom and the side rail inside lip to make it more secure. There are holes for that purpose in the mount.

It mounts under your tailgate, above the bumper on the flat part of the truck. It goes on with a double sided adhesive (like what your vehicle decals are stuck on with. Hope this helps :-)

It's supplied with it own full length internal rail system that allows it to flush fit to the top of the bed rails. The Tool box would have to have recessed hangars to ensure that the top of the toolbox was approximately an inch below the height of the side rails... (The cover is about 5/8 of inch thick). I also think that the box hangars will interfere with the rails, and the front mounts which secure the cover to the p/u bed. The other challenge would be the folds of the cover aligning with the tool box cover. I've had a couple of these covers on various trucks, and I understand what you're trying to do... I know that BAK makes one specifically with a small Box included... Good luck! It's supplied with it own full length internal rail system that allows it to flush fit to the top of the bed rails.

I have mine mounted on the frame under the dash simply with double sided 3M adhesive squares (didn't want to drill into the body of my classic car) it works GREAT!
