I'm going to get a soft becd cover..
I don't want to spend $800+ for a RollNlock....so.... soft that tilts up so you don't have to unsnap every time...
I see a lot out there, but the last thing I need is a POS.

Thanks guys..

Check out the Tonneau Masters.. also known as Sportmasters.. They are real nice tops and can get them custom fit if you have a toolbox. They have a standard, tilting, and roll type cover. Best of all they are all no drill applications.

Tim G. also check with Extang, had one on my f350 dually snapless balck frame and cover with bows that had 2 different heights on it for the winter summer(iknow FL) but when it cools down they will shrink a little bit(lived in sarasota with it) had it for 2 years and sold it to a friend when I got rid of my truck he still has it with no troubles. I believe the long bed version was if memory serves me right 349.00 I am sure they might have gone upa little but that was for a long bed.

My buddy has a truxedo on his truck and he really likes it. It uses velcro and at the end it latches down on it's rail. I dunno if any of the supporting vendors here carry it but I do know summit recently started selling them.

Had an Access Cover on my truck before I put a topper on and it was great. I'd buy another if I didn't have the topper. After a couple of years the glue dried on the velcro, but they sent me new vecro strips in short order under warranty. Their customer service is very, very good.

I have a lite rider by access I think. I had it on my gasser amd took it off before I traded it forthe Dmax. I've had it for three years now no problems. It is not completely weather tight. If you want a weather tight cover the soft ones are no thte way to go IMO.

Retrax is the only way I would go. Most people who own them would agree. They are in the $800-900 range.

:) I went with the Access limited, got it from Realtuck.com, they were fast to ship and gave a 10% discount with free shipping. I like the cover. It installed in about 30 minutes. the cover rolls up nice when you need to use the open pickup body, or you can remove it in about 5 min by taking the two 3/8 bolts out.

I have the Extang Full-Tilt. Love it. Frame has lifetime warranty, and the cover has a 10 year. Tilts, whole cover can be set off by one person in 3 minutes, or you can roll it up. Works great for me......

I have 2 Truxedo's, one on my 2500 and one on my 1500, (both Sierra's) I really like them and they are guaranteed for life! They make a "high" profile and a "low" profile, the low sits just above the bed rails and the high sits about an inch above the rails. In hind sight I wish they were both low profile but I have a 5th wheel hitch in the 2500 and that little bit of extra room the high provides may make the difference between rubbing and not rubbing. Hope this helps, I give them 2 thumbs up!

I have a TruXedo Lo Profile tonneau cover and love it.:ro) I like it because it has the hook and loop system with a floating hook system, for the changing temperatures. It also has intergrated bars that lie flat on the track system. Only takes approx. 10 Mins. to install. The flat bows (there are three), will accomodate the weight of a heavy snow fall ( up to 350lbs. ) http://www.truxedo.com/lopro/truxedo-lopro.html

Not to hijack the thread, but I'm looking to pick up a TruxedoPlus cover with the integrated toolbox.

http://www.truxedo.com/plus/truxedoplus.html

After looking at a dozen or so different websites, everyone seems to have them priced at $720. Anyone know where I could find one cheaper? Have checked eBay, but no luck. $720 isn't a bad price or anything, but I thought I'd check.

Do not get a Le Bra. Junk. Holds water and collapses.
