    I have a 2015 access cab.
    I'm looking for a solid painted bed cover that provides security waterproofing and will still let me use my rail system. any help is appreciated

    Most of your hard covers that install on the Tacoma will interfere with the rail toward the front of the bed no matter what. The Undercover Lux is a lightweight plastic cover that comes paint-matched to your truck, and allows simple, two-person at most, removal when compared to heavier fiberglass units.

    Do any of the covers let your use the rails.? I could pass on the paint if it's keeps the water out locks and can't be cut by a knife.

    I just put a Truxedo on our '15 Taco. While the cover is on no access to the rails, but as it only uses three mounting clamps, when rolled to the cab the rails have a lot of free space for the cleats, and more.

    I just installed a Fold a Cover and have use of the rails. I really like the access of the front panel for groceries, etc.

    Have one of these ^^^ that came on my truck. The side rails are still usable, haven't paid attention to the front but I imagine they're there and usable if you can reach them.
    Would have preferred a camper shell but since it was already on the truck I'm gonna give it a chance.
