    I've been researching tonneau covers. It's a little overwhelming with the amount of different options. I have a couple requirements, so I'm hoping you can give me feedback on which cover may be best for me. I'm not concerned on price, but i don't want to spend more than I need.

    Requirements:

    -Full access to bed of truck
    -Keep factory rails in the same spot
    -No drilling into bed of truck
    -Hard cover
    -Ability to use in sub zero climate
    -Low profile

    Just wondering if there are any that fit my requirements?

    That looks really nice. I think you'll lose a little bit if the bed unfortunately.

    I really like the undercover ultra flex, but I'm trying to figure out if you can retain the use if the factory rails and having movable tie down access points.

    The Ultra Flex will mount into your rail system which will limit your access to the rail and tie downs a bit. Here is a link to the Tacoma supplemental install guide:

    https://www.undercoverinfo.com/files/downloads/pdf_install_guides/UX-Z_UX42014-UX42015.pdf

    I may take a look at the Bakflip covers, the MX4 if you like the matte finish of the Ultra Flex. They supply an unusual looking clamp, that will actually mount into the holes of your deck rail system. You will temporarily remove your rails, and in the holes install the brackets. From there, you will install the deck rail system into the bracket and the cover clamps to the top. This will allow you to still retain your full use of the rail system, it will be just located a couple inches lower. I couldn't find a PDF of the Bak supplemental install, but here is a video of a 16+ Tacoma install.



    Let me know if you have any questions between models and I am happy to help!
