Default Re: advice on tonneau cover

Thoughts:

Hard Solid Covers: Best bang for your buck is Undercover. It's lightweight, you can stand on it, easily removable, has a small bedlight, and reasonably priced. It only comes in black.

Fiberglass covers are nice because they are painted to match your truck. But, they are heavy, you can't stand on them, and don't plan on removing them. They are priced higher also. There's a ton of brands on the market, Leer, Jason, ARE, Snuglid, etc.

Hard Folding Covers: Good because you can open them up and drive with them open and you don't lose a foot of the bed like retractable covers. I recommend FoldACover covers (black powdercoated aluminum).

Retractable Hard Covers: Good utility but you will lose a foot of bed space at the bulkhead due to the roll up cannister. You won't go wrong with Retrax (Lexan), RollNLock (vinyl laminated aluminum), Pace Edwards (they have several covers), American Roll Top.
