    Looking to get a Tonneau Cover. Done some research on a few i like. Im thinking about the Access LE or possible Extang. Some of the Tri Folds are nice too. Just wanna make sure i can still use my existing tie downs on the bed rails. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

    Where are you located? And SB or LB? I have one that came with my truck (DCSB) that I took off to put a toolbox in. Can't remember the brand, but if you are interested in used let me know. I can get the brand and pics tonight. No tears or rips, and still seals well, I just prefer the toolbox.

    Extang Trifecta is a great cover. It's worth checking out. I had no complaints when I had mine (I have a shell now)

    I have a fold-a-cover and my cleats work just fine. The cover uses the rail system to hold itself down, so there are some spots where you can't put the cleats.

    My second Access cover. My first I had for 10 years and would have swapped it but it did not fit my new Tacoma. Also, this opens and closes in seconds - even in the cold winters (providing you remove the snow :D )

    I love my access cover !!

    Extang Trifecta. $385 shipped via Amazon. This cover allows complete access to your bed rails and can be installed/removed in a few minutes

    I put am Extang on my 2006 when it was new.... had it 6 months and sold it. Not that I didn't like it, but it was a pain to snap and unsnap. If it were cold out, you had to wait until the next sunny day to get it warm enough to snap it back down again.

    They were getting rid of some almost new leather computer chairs at work. I unsnapped my tonneu to take one home, I couldn't snap it again for a week. That's when I made the decision to get rid of it and buy a LEER cap... and I never looked back! Yes, they look nice, no they really don't save you and gas (proven on mythbusters), but IMO are impractical if you live in an area that gets cold unless you never use your truck as a truck. If you want a low profile cover like that, I'd go trifold but don't expect it to be 100% waterproof, only about 95%.

    I have the extang full tilt which is nice cause you can just lift it up like a hard cover or take it off completly.
