    I was looking and decided on the fold a cover I like the option of locking the cab section and also locking the tail section. But I can fold everything up to carry my 6oolb motorcycle. https://www.foldacover.com/

    +1 for MX4 its more coin for sure but it sits nice and tight and almost plumb to the bed. Fairly good at keeping the water out too. Not Bakflip's fault, but I wish the Toyota bed dividers worked with a cover over it.

    OEM aluminum steps. Picked up from CL for $50. Works as a door ding protector :)

    Awesome! Thank you. Wife’s not a fan of the predator steps, and I don’t like the normal tubes. Appreciate the info.

    Looks great!

    Did you have to install any rails or does it use the OEM rails and you just throw the cover on?

    I have the Extang TriFold 2.0 and it’s pretty dry. Clean install but don’t tighten down too much on the forward clamps or you get dents in the top.

    Personally I like the soft trifolds. Look around. I got one I love for 200. If it fails in 3 years or I screw it up I'm not out all that much. Depends on what you expect outa one

    For those of you with the Lo-Max
    This cover looks like it sits pretty flat all the way around. Does your front bulkhead rail stick up higher than the bed sides? Mine does by 1/8-3/16" and its arched up in the middle so the gap is not even all the way across. I am having a really hard time matching seal thickness and density to get a nice flat fit of my Tyger T5.

    Also Have the Lomax. $450 Craigslist. Super happy with it, doesn't leak. Only negative is it did freeze shut when we got rain then freeze temps. How to solve, I rub wd special silicone lube on the rubber before winter and then if it does freeze I can slip a gift card between it and the bed with almost no resistance, slide it around the edge and it opens up. Also doesn't damage the rubber.

    Doesn't leak, only water comes in under the tailgate gap.. even in heavy rain. Folds up easy and isn't too heavy. Almost invisible too and while I wouldn't recommend it, at 120lbs I've walked around on it before.. don't have great photos of the cover but here's some
