    Access literider, allows you to use your bed rails, replaceable velcro strips if you ever need to. It's been watertight and installs pretty easy. Saw them on Amazon recently for $285.

    I have the "premium" Access cover on the current rig and had a Literider on my last Taco. Slightly better opening mechanism and a couple other features I don't remember offhand but both models are good.

    I like that you keep the factory bed rails unlike most other tonneaus, but you have to keep an eye on the bolts. The tonneau rails flex and you need to check the bolt torque regularly.

    Have the Litereider on my 2013 DCLB and it works great. Had one on my 1985 Ranger that my son says the truck is dead but the cover is still in usable shape.

    I have the access limited as well. Grea,t affordable cover with easy install and you can still use your stock rails.

    If you have more money to spend check out the bakflip rollx.

    I had a tonneu for 6 months and took it off and sold it. By roll up, I assume that you mean snap or Velcro ones. I had an Extang, it was quality, it looked nice, but mine was a snap on and I could never get it back on when it was cold out, it shrinks up and becomes stiff. It pretty much limited me putting anything in the back in the colder months unless I waited until a warm day when I could snap it back down.

    One day I was given a nice leather office chair for home and I couldn't fit in in my truck because of that friggin cover. I took it off and sold it! I have a LEER XL on my truck now and I love it. I have friends at work with the Backflip covers and they leak water. They look nice and they are expensive, what's the use if it doesn't keep water out?

    I was in the same boat. Everything was always just a bit too tall to fit under the tonneau cover. It always seemed to be raining in those situations too. I just got a Softopper. It's awesome. I love everything about it.

    Extang trifecta is a great folding one if you decide against the roll up kind.
