    I love my Extang Solid Fold. Easy on/off, easy open/close, sturdy (I have stood on it several times), secure, bed cleats still functional. Not 100% waterproof, but that's ok with me.

    Have a Tonno Pro, tri fold on 6' bed. Probably the best "value" cover on the market. Good warranty and customer service is extraordinary. Attaches securely, very easy to remove. I would put the Tonno Pro cover up against covers costing much more.

    Do the extangs attach to the bed rails?

    For the Extang solid fold, yes the anchor points attach to the bed rails. They attach near the ends of the bed rails though, so most of the rails are still usable including the Toyota tie down cleats.

    This! I did many days of research and concluded that this was the biggest bang for the buck, and I was 100% right. Its 99.999% water tight, holds up to heavy snow without an issue, folds in seconds, and removes in 2 minutes.

    Everyone has been saying Extang Solid fold.... I don't have experience with that one, but I really have liked my Extang Trifecta. It's a 3-section SOFT cover with a rigid frame underneath that makes the folding work well. I like soft look as opposed to a hard one, but obviously it has no structural integrity and can't support any real weight on the top of the cover. Found a deal on here for $200 local and honestly it was worth every penny. If I had to pay full price I'd be comfortable buying a replacement at full price knowing the quality of these tops. Once you get the anchor points into the bedrails it's easy-on, easy-off without any tools.

    This thread might be helpful...

    Totally agree. Mine is also water-tight.

    extang trifecta... as mentioned it's a 10-15 minute install.. goes right on the bed rails... 99.9% waterproof as long as installed correctly and never had a problem with mine in 4+ years. Also not too expensive.

    I had a tonno pro tri fold for ~6 months before opting to move to a Leer shell. The tonno pro worked very well, including a winter trip to Bend, OR with 12"+ snow on it. Some minor leaking in really heavy rain but not enough to get in a tizzy over. Very easy to install, easy to open, etc. If I did not have the need to haul more stuff than a cover could accommodate, I'd still have it.

    I have a BakFlip F1, it was very expensive to be honest but man it looks great and according to the specs it can hold up to 400lbs.

    Installation was EASY, took me around 20 minutes to have everything setup and the only tool I needed was a wrench.

    I got the All American Tonneau cover from Autoanything.com for under $250.00 it seems pretty well made and I feel it is good quality for the price.
