Cargo Area Enclosure with Raised Lid / Tonneau Cover - Install and Review

[BroncoTPA]

if you have this and the doors off or bronco unlocked.Couldnt a person just use the unlock door button to get into the cage!!

Only if they have a key. The door lock controls are on the doors. I haven't had out doors on but someone tested in this thread and said when the doors are installed the unlock button will not work without a key present to prevent someone from cutting the soft top and pressing the unlock button located on the door.

The cargo area door locks and remains locked when the doors are off.

We picked up a Cargo Enclosure from Ford which is made by Tuffy using our Ford Pass Points (from Tremor and Bronco purchases) which covered the full cost.

Here is our install video and initial review video:

This looks pretty good. It looks like you do loose access to the storage under the cargo floor and jack right?

No. You have full access to the floor. Its only top and sides.

I checked on this with the doors on. If you lock it with the keyfob, after a bit of time, the doors will not unlock by pressing the unlock on the door. I had left the windows down, and when I reached in and tried to unlock, it beeped at me and the dash display said "switches inhibited security mode".

Thanks, that’s great to know…I like the enclosure and , knowing this, it’ll be one of my first mods!
I did see the TPA video about not locking your fob in the back…where the bronco will start but the gate doesn’t open.

That is awesome! Ford really did test quite a bit of the scenarios and account for them. We are putting out doors back on tonight and was going to test this very thing.

My wife posted a new video with a warning about putting your key in the cargo area with the doors off. The trunk will lock but since your key is "inside" of the vehicle the push button start still works but there is no easy way to access the cargo area.

Ford Pass would work but her phone was also in the trunk. No big deal since she was close to home but could be an inconvenience if further away from home.

in this cargo enclosure … what’s the main difference between the fixed lid and the deluxe raised lid? So I see that the raised lid makes the box more accessible … but is the fixed lid more secure in the long run? I felt this thread would be the best to find the answer… not seeing this question in the search … Thanks!!

I do not think there is much difference in the security between the two, I think it just comes down to accessibility. Without raising the lid it is difficult to see inside if you are taller and reaching into the deepest areas would be difficult.

The top is secured by the tailgate, even if the non-locking locking mechanisms would be pushed to the open position by a long stick from the seat back MOLLE panel holes the lid would remain closed.

Really appreciate the insight. I see myself accessing thru the rear door for anything I have put in there…. Unless I stand on my back tire I am not seeing a lot thru the raised lid! Surely not dragging anything out!
Now just waiting on my Ford pass points!

Is there another/new link for this video? I'm trying to prove to my dealer that his 2.0 hours to install is a joke.

I wonder if it could be completely assembled outside ( minus top cover ) and "pushed in" and bolted down ?

Having just installed it, I am going to say, nah... I don't think so. It's built to fit the back of the Bronco pretty exactly. So the panel that runs along the back of your seats is wider than the opening of the tailgate. And the panels that run back to the tailgate are too long to slide in through your side doors. But I'm open to being proven wrong. Video or it didn't happen.
