I just got an 09 DC and I've been looking to add a bed cover. I love the hard cover, but the dealer tells me that I'm looking at around 1500 bucks. As an alternate I see there are a few covers in the 500-600 range that I might consider, but from photographs and some rough installation instructions I've seen they seem to require the bed rail kit for installation. Is this true? Can I install any of these after market covers without the bed rail kit?
RETRAX baby!!!! no bed rail required...have it on my 04 double cab...check out my gallery for a few pics!....also allows you future expansion to add a ladder rack like TracRac if so desired!....you'll soon see a few new mods in my gallery I'm working on that relate to the RETRAX also..and like you said it's in the $450-500 range.

This is my second Undercover. I had one on my Tacoma DC Prerunner. I sold that truck to get this Tundra. I put a new undercover on it within a week or two of buying the truck. They are the best bang for your buck IMHO. They are also indestructible.
You can order one that installs on a Tacoma or Tundra without the deck rail system. Check around your local dealers. My Line-X dealer cut me a deal to get the bed sprayed and the Undercover tonneau at the same time.
