    I am shopping Tonneau covers, so many options, does anyone have suggestions of the best tonneau cover for a 2009 TRD SPort Long bed?

    Thank you

    I prefer a roll up or fold not interested in the hard top style

    I have the Lund Genesis roll-up on my13' DCSB and it's nice. A little water gets in the back corners when it rains but it's easy to install and roll on and off. I got it for $130 brand new so couldn't pass that deal up.

    I no longer have my tacoma, but bought a Bakflip G2 for my replacement. Excellent cover but it does have some water leaks in the corners at the tail gate. The only thing I HATE is that it freezes shut in the winter.

    More often than not, I have to bring a bowl of hot water out in the morning and pour it along the seams to free it up. Just be warned.

    I have the extang tri fold...and regret buying it. I find it too inconvenient that the panel next to the cab does not open. I need a tool/storage box now and of course they won't work with this cover.

    "The best tonneau cover" imho is the Retrax pro.
    I researched covers for weeks, and settled upon the Retrax after seeing many of the top choices in person. Retractable, lockable in any position, American made, with a finish better than the trucks and a lifetime warranty as well.
    Pricey, yes, but outstanding :D

    I have a Fold-a-cover G4 Elite that has been on my truck for a week. Other than the instructions being kinda crappy, the cover is pretty amazing.

    I've had mine for a few months now, best investment on the truck so far. Really easy to remove too if you need to make use of the whole bed just 4 screws and the whole thing lifts off (about 35 lbs at most)

    With the Fold-a-cover G4 can you access the side tie-downs? I have heard they are blocked.

    Trying to figure out what to put on my new toy.

    Another vote for the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite. Installed mine last week & really like it so far. You also have full access to your tie-downs.
