    OK,I couldn't embed the pictures in my post even though I chose 'add picture' and copied the url into it, maybe because I'm using a android tablet but if you look in my photo gallery, you can see why I didn't like the Truxedo LoPro. With the tailgate closed, I could slide my hand under the rubber lip and pop the cover. I couldn't see an easy way to secure it. I know that vinyl covers are not all that secure, but that seems a bit extreme to me.

    I was able to return it for a full refund but I'm still on the hunt. I'm going to go check out a parts store that has a couple of different covers. Members here have shown me a few that look like they might do the trick but I'd like to see them in person if possible.

    I want them to at least need a hanger or a pocket knife if they're going to rip me off! :D

    5100's front and rear, front 2.5" rear 2" AAL, 18% tint front and rear, color matched grill. SCS wheels 275/70/17 BFG AT KO's. DTRL toggle switch.
    I have the Extang BlackMax tonno cover and I am i the same boat. The thing I like is what I have in the bed is hidden from sight. Most thieves are thieves of opportunity and covering what is in your bed is making just a little more difficult. Also my buddy sold his taco and I got mine free. ;)
