    Hey I just bought a 2008 tacoma dbl cab with the short bed. I love the truck but im looking for a good, relatively affordable tonneau cover so I can keep all my fishing gear in the back without always having to throw it in the cab. If anyone knows where I can find one or can help me out that would be awesome!

    How much security do you need? Hard generally provides more. How much money? Roller or latching?

    I have had my TonnoPro Tri fold for two years now and it still looks like new I bought it from the Autoanything website with the TW discount, it's a great cover for the price.

    I have the truxport on mine. Very happy with the materials and fit for the $250 or whatever it was that I paid for it. Looks great, too. It gives me confidence that stuff is generally safe in there -- you know, out of site, out of mind. Admittedly I'm usually parked in pretty safe areas, but as far as I know no one has ever tried getting in there to take anything. (I have a tailgate handle lock, too).

    Can't help ya with the Tonneau, but......
    may I suggest using the "Search" function in the upper right of the page.
    When I was a noob here, I found asking for product recommendations,
    will get you 1000 different suggestions.
    If you don't read threads about, and educate yourself on a product you want.......
    You could end up spending hundreds of dollars on someone's well intentioned recommendation,
    Only to find out when you receive it, it's the wrong size, fastening, latching, locking, weight, material, texture, quality, color, etc., etc., etc.
    Or it just doesn't move you.
    There is a ton of info here about most anything you can attach to your Tacoma.
    Listen to others, then search out the info yourself, rather than what someone else thinks you want/need.
    Not intended as a lecture, but friendly advice.
    Hope you find the Tonneau you want.
    Best of luck and welcome to TacomaWorld

    Originally bought the Extang Solid Fold last September. Based on reviews I read I thought I had a decent cover. TRASH. Leaks like a seive and I recently noticed the middle panel has already started to develop a ripple. Waiting for an Undercover SE to be delivered now.

    Depends if you want a flip/fold or roll-up. I have the roll-up Lo-Pro QT and have been nothing but happy with it. Can roll it all the way back to the rear windows and still use the cleat system or load up large appliances, dirt, full use of of the bed. Has a low profile look and fit that goes well will the truck bed.

    I put one of these on my '14 about a month ago. So far I like it. My old Toyota had an Extang roll-up cover, it worked well but was a PITA to roll or reinstall in cold weather. I'm hoping the tri-fold takes care of that problem.
