    I've got a Leer 700. Best thing about it is the security. It's stout fiberglass and covers the top of the tailgate. When it's locked, you'd have to break the fiberglass shell to get in to the bed. Downside is it's quite hefty. Probably 60+lbs conservative, but very awkward to handle when taking just because it's so wide. Can be one by one, best with two. It's easy to open, has pneumatics to lift it once you unlock and push. Has kept my bed dry and secure for several years now, since I bought the truck with it in 2014. The gelcoat is starting to flake off, but it's just fiberglass so I don't care other than the ratty look.
    I thought about selling it and getting a rack system, but I decided I much prefer the security and cleanliness of the cover for my bed contents. I've had stuff lifted from uncovered beds before, but never with this one.

    I have an Xtang soft tonneau for sale on here. For the price, you cannot go wrong. It is in perfect shape, but i came on my truck and is not practical for the way i use my truck.

    I believe I have the same cover on my 2008. Canvas definitely worn, a few small holes in a couple of spots. How did you get a replacement canvas? Did you just contact them?

    After looking through all the threads here and further research I chose the Tyger tri fold. I have not had a winter yet but I am pleased with it so far. Fit is great and it is very easy to install even with the factory tiedown rails. One thing i also really like is that the the support bars are slightly raised and allow water to run off rather than collect on the tonneau. Photo attached.IMG_3862.jpg
