Tonneau covers : your opinion?

2002 standard cab base model. 6 ft bed

 

I like mine. Keeps the snow from filling up the bed...Which probably isn't a problem for you

 

I like mine a lot. I bought mine from Gator Covers. It is a BakFlip sold under Gators name and branding. Even came in a BAK Industries box. Much lower price...

 

I bought a BAK G2 trifold from Truck Alterations. Really like it. Easy installation. Best price I found was $550 shipped but don't think I looked at Gator Covers?

 

Mine was Gator Covers version of the F1. I paid $720.

Here is a link to their site. The also sold me my weather techs for $139 at the same time plus some other smaller things all no CA Tax or shipping!

I bought a TopDeck fiberglass cover from a Tacoma owner on Craigslist. I really lucked out because the seller had color-matched paint, and it was the same factory color as mine.

 

They are nice, I had one on my '11 and miss having that luxury with my 04. Think I am gonna go topper with this outfit though mainly because of my dogs. They are too hairy to ride in the cab so I want to set up a riding area for them in the bed that's safe. I don't really need the bed to haul anything big so the topper will just stay on all the time.

 

I won't ever own another truck without a cover or topper of some sort. I have an Access LE cover right now, but if I did it again, I'd either get a tri-fold or solid cover next time. I really like the Undercover Flex.

 

I've got an ARE. Best thing i got for the truck. Watch craigslist. i watched for almost a year and got one for 200. originally 1200. Locks and keeps the bed clean.

 

I have a bakflip g2 and its great. Its strong enough to stand on and it can fold all the way up allowing all bed space. Its super easy to install and uninstall and it keeps about 90% of water out. No cover keeps out 100% just so you know. This is also the base model, they make several other models that are tougher and better.

 

Had an access limited before I switched to a softopper. If I ever remove the softopper I go right back to the tonneau. Its nice to keep the bed clean and conceal stuff and it moves out of the way quickly.
