Extang has one called "solid fold" which is a 3 piece. Seems real sturdy but real pricy. Would how it compares to bacflip

Iagree. I think it is the best top for the money.

Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite has to be the best folding cover I have ever seen and if you do any research on the internet you will find ZERO complaints on these, they lock and use Good Quality parts, all bolted on hardware is made from Stainless Steel and the cover itself is made from Honey Combed Aluminum Panels and then coated with some kind of textured plastic finish so it wont scratch, where as the Bak-Flip is made from Hard Plastic ... the Fold-A-Cover is a few hunrded more but in my opinion is definatly worth it.

Bought my Advantage Torza Hard Hat from Real Truck. Good deal, fast, reliable shipping!

I use my truck like a truck, not like a TRUNK, like the other hard covers... I can carry a bookshelf, chest of drawers or a high sheld or washer and Dryer with out having a lid sticking up in the air like a skunk's tail.

SECURITY??? C'mon I bought a Tundra. I can get into ANYTHING if I really want to... even your girlfriend's pants! If I wanted to, that is.

If you look around you will find they have a ton of negative comments from buyers....

Otherwise which cover you choose will all come down to what you do with your bed....

If you just need to keep weather out and don't really need security then a soft rollup is probably for you. They can be had for anywhere from $235 to over $400 depending upon the desired features, warranty etc. The Truxedo LoPro has been previously mentioned and is an excellent soft rollup cover. We sell a ton of them. We sell them for $365 shipped all day without any special 1 day sales, etc.

If you want to go with a hard cover you have a lot of options. Solid one piece covers such as Undercover ($650-670 shipped), Armorlid (515 shipped), etc. or folding models such as Fold-A-Cover (best hard folder out there) for about $725 shipped, Advance cover (2nd best) for about $675 shipped, Extang Solid Fold for about $630 shipped, etc...

If ever feel the need to chat I will be happy to run through any options for you and explain the ins and out of them all... 800-958-7576

When you start a thread like this all you will get is the opinion on whatever tonneau cover the individual has...you have to decide what your needs are, budget, is color important, how often will you be taking it on/off...

With covers as expensive as they are I don't think anyone has purchased numerous covers just to see how they fit...maybe a truck magazine but comparing a fiberglass to a roll up to a painted cover, etc is not comparing apples to apples.

I have an Undercover and like it for the fact I can take it on/off in a few minutes and I can walk on it to wash/wax my roof.

Yeah... I can get it $599 shipped....

I am just not a huge fan as they have had some huge issues with them. They are better now but still.....

However, your truck and your money so I will sell you one if you like those best...

I've been shopping for a month now, while waiting for my CM to be delivered. I'm settled on the diamondback HD with linex. It carries up to 1600 pounds, so I can put my sled or anything else on top of it, and still have the bed to keep gear in. It uninstalls in 10 minutes if I need the full bead anyway. you can find them online for 1400 delivered. As an added benefit, I think a black linex coated cover will match my black step bars on my silver sky CM!

the roll up covers freeze up too much up here in the great white north for me to consider them....

my 2 cents anyway.

DiamondBack is good, but it's sort of a specialty item.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but there has to be something going on there. That is not a typical price. I say buyer beware.
