    Hello Everyone,

    I have looked everywhere for tonneau covers but cannot decide what to get. I'm looking for a hard cover, either roll-up or trifold. i dont want anyone cutting the cover and stealing my stuff inside the bed. also a cover where i can still use the stock bed rails and tie downs. i would like for it to be as watertight as possible.

    if anyone has any suggestions please comment. Pictures would also be very helpful.

    THANKS!!

    If you haven't picked something yet, I love my undercover tonneau SE. Look on craigslist or here, you can find them used for a fraction of the cost new, they don't hold their value like a cap does.

    I have a DiamondBack. It's been pretty good for the last about 4 years. Crooks will play hell stealing your stuff as it's pretty stout and has solid latch mechanisms. I've had minimal issues with leaks that I've been able to resolve without much effort. It takes about 20 minutes to remove when you need the full bed, about 30 minutes to put back on.

    One feature I really like is you can sit chairs up on it and it'll support the weight of 2-3 people easily.

    There is no such thing as watertight tonneau cover. There will always be a small leak somewhere especially during downpours or car washes. Anyone who said they never got a drop of water in their bed with a tonneau cover is lying
