    If you have one, How do you like it?
    How well has it held up? Would you buy again?

    I've got an Extang Trifecta. It gets a little bit of moisture in the bed during a heavy rain or running through the car wash, but not enough to ruin anything.

    Does what I need it to do and is way less headache than the old roll up one with snaps. I'd definitely order again.

    I purchased a Tonno-Pro when I bought the truck in 2012, it's always on the truck unless I need extra room in the bed and the truck is parked outside in all kinds of weather. The cover has held up great and still looks like new and they go for under $300. Very happy with this brand.

    Lund Genesys...much cheaper than the Extang Trifecta and seems comparable in quality so far.

    Any difference between the $400 and the ones on Ebay for $150?

    I have the access limited roll-up. Its a great, affordable cover. Didn't get a trifold as I didnt like that it blocked the entire back window when up.

    That is a solid price. Other brands of trifolds go for a lot more than that.

    After installing my tri fold I have come to the conclusion that soft tonneua covers aren't the answer for the taco. Because of the height difference between the bed rails and the tail gate/front panel the fit and finish is lacking for my taste. My main grevience is the tailgate area. The frame has a nice clean line but then there is an ugly once inch seal to make up the gap.

    Hopefully this helps someone else who may or may not have a little ocd like me.

    Just installed TonnoPro soft tri fold cover today. Out of the box it wasn't perfect fit. Front brace right next to the cabin was slightly bended so after installing there was gap. I took cover off and bended brace to be more straight. Still, I wasn't happy with result and then used extra seal that comes with cover and glued to the bad edge behind the cabin. It looks is better fit now, but selfglued seal seems to be to thick and now I see small gaps on the corners. I will try retighten everything after test drive. Overall cover looks fine for the price I paid. $249.

    update: Sold the cover after few months. It was making way too much noise on highway speeds. My truck has a long bad, not sure if it is same case with short bad too.
