    I will start by saying hello and thank you to all the members that have shared their info.

    I am looking to get a Tonneau Cover, I have a 2015 TRD Off Road with a 5' bed. I searched a bunch but was fairly overwhelmed with all the results so am looking for some real world advice from people that actually have these on their trucks.

    I plan to install the remote lock Pop & Lock
    $107 PL8521 Pop & Lock – Power Tailgate Lock for Toyota Tacoma, Fits Models 2005 to 2015 (PL8521)
    PL8521. I am looking for something that works with the factory rails, I am open on price up to 1K but obviously don't want to waste money either. Mainly looking for something to keep the bed mostly dry and secure when I have snowboards or wakeboards in there.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm a fan of the Fold-a-Cover G4 Elite. I had one on my last truck and installed one on my Tacoma. It's a little more expensive but it's well designed, secure, and provides easy access to the bed and tailgate when needed.

    +1 for the Fold-A-Cover. Plus it looks really nice.

    I went with the bakflip g2 and poplock. Installed them both yesterday. I was happy with how easy/quick it went.

    OP...sorry to bump an old thread but having had your G2 for the winter now how are you still liking it? I live in North Dakota and am looking at a solid tonneau. I'm ready to pull the trigger on the G2 but wanted a review from someone with the same truck as mine. Thanks!

    I have the Truxport as well. Does an awesome job of keeping everything dry - for the price you can't beat it.

    I have the same thing. I like it for what it is. Sometimes a hard cover would be nice because it could support some more weight but overall I like the trifecta. Keeps things dry, folds into a nice 1/3 section up front and removes completely fairly quickly if I want to.

    I have an Access Limited tonneau and love it. Can still use the factory rails and the limited comes with some cool extra goodies like a LED light, tailgate seal and a couple other things. Tight as a drum and super quick to roll up and redeploy. It's my second one, had one on my F150 also. If you order I recommend truck alterations.com. By far the best prices.
