Best tonneau cover for pick up bed?
« on: January 26, 2013, 11:03:07 PM »
I'm sure many on this site drive pick up trucks and was hoping that you could share your thoughts on which manufacturer/model is the best tonneau cover for the bed?

Thanks  :2vrolijk_21:  in advance for any assistance you can lend in helping me to decide which one to purchase.

I really like my Retrax.....the only thing is you lose a few inches in the front of the bed about 1 foot from the top.

For a soft tonneau with no bed space loss I would go with the truxedo. Had 2 on 2 different trucks and they are great!

I've had the Pace-Edwards Jack Rabbit on my 2006 Ram 2500 for 7 years and have had great luck with it.

From somebody that's done this on several different trucks let me just say that you've got your homework cut out for you.

What is the purpose of your truck and what is the "look" that you want? 

Do you ever plan on hauling anything of any size?  If so, then you may want to consider a sliding top.  They make an electric sliding tonneau that actually has a small built in tool box at the front of it.   

Do you want it to lock to the tailgate?

Are you looking for a high profile or low profile?  Here's a pic of my Silverado with the lowest profile lid I've ever seen...water tight and it locked to the tailgate...





and the company for that lid.....

You might also want to consider a heavy duty rubber bed mat to keep things from sliding all around under there.....money well spent wether you have a lid or not. :2vrolijk_21:

A number of other selections....  http://www.campway.com/products/lids.html

 X3 on the Truxedo soft cover. Add a Bedrug bed liner and your good to go!
