    I bought a soft tonneau tri fold by Tyger from Amazon.
    Goes on in under 30 minutes, keeps my stuff dry and protected. I paid like $200 for the long bed version. The short bed might be a couple bucks cheaper. IM pretty pumped on it. See below.

    I've always had good luck with gator covers. Looking at getting the basic tri fold for my new taco.

    Gator is actually our sister company. We deal in all of their product lines so if you have any questions please let me know. They only deal in American made covers and bed liners.

    I have a dealer "installed" rugged liner 2.. they installed but at an angle so I reinstalled. Hard tri fold, about 30lbs, weather resistant is fairly good. Some water goes in but not bad. $850 from dealership. My main issue with it is when I need more bed space I have to remove it, unlike other brands that fold up to the back window.

    I have the Gator tri-fold pro. It's a soft cover and it does the job great. The best part about gator is the customer service. Very helpful and friendly staff. Not to mention American products. I have a write up with pics in the tonneau forum.

    How easy is it to take it on/off the truck? Does it simply clamp on to the factory rails? Thanks for any info.

    SUPER EASY. It installs almost exactly the same as the one in the video below. The ONLY difference is that the in-rail clamps look a little different. Took me 15 minutes to put on.

    Awesome, thanks! Just looking for something reasonably priced to cover the bed/luggage on family trips that I can take off most of the rest of the time. This looks like it will pop on/off easy enough. Thanks again.

    I have a bakflip and its great. I like the low pro design and it feels solid. I've had the G2 before on another vehicle but now have the MX4

    Did everyone's aluminum cleats slide easily into the bed rails? My aluminum cleats only slide 3-4 inches into the rails and then they're jammed up....yes, the set screws are backed out. The cleats closest to the tailgate are fine because they don't need to slide in that far, but the ones closer to the cab need to slide another 10-12in. Just checking to see if anyone else has had the issue before I call Tyger on Monday. Thanks

    Love mine, Retraz ProMX. Mine covers most of the bed rail compared to yours

    Bak fibermax installed. Love the way it looks as it sits flush on bed. A little pricey but it's a quality cover for sure

    I went with a Bakflip MX4 and like it. It has a nice low profile look and is very secure.

    No cover on the market will boast being completely waterproof. These covers are going to be the next best thing. If you do get water in it would normally be in the extreme corners or around the tailgate. There are precautions that can be taken to ensure even less water gets in the bed with additional seals or silicone depending on the cover.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    I got the same one! Absolutely love it, minus the bed space you lose. But you lose the bed space with any cover, really. It's secure, it's easy to open, it looks sharp, and it just works. Cost a pretty penny though.

    If I had to do it over, I would get the same one. Or maybe a camper shell.
