    For me, a roll up cover works best. Hunting, fishing and camping with a trailered atv I need cargo room that's flexible. It will keep the honest people honest and the critters and elements out as well. And you can still help your brother-in-law move a fridge.

    Remember, a friend will help you move, but a GOOD friend will help you move a body.

    Even if you have a bed cover you still want those items mounted, so I say both.

    I don't think it can be both. The Bed cover is mounted to the bed rails

    I like my cover for a few quirky reasons. I like that it's fast to remove.

    It fits fine (Extang TriFold) and the OE cleats will still mount and move around, clearing the cover.

    I even have 4 rod holders mounted in the rail, and the cover clears them. Yes, I have to run with the cover open when carrying rods, or remove it when I carry yaks and rods. Point is, I don't have to remove the rod holders to use the cover.

    It's all a matter of if something sticks up too high or not to fit, how you use the truck 80% of the time, and how energetic you are.

    You can get bed covers that arent attched to the bed rail. Mine mounts behind the bed rail.
