    So i loan my wife and daughter the Taco for a girls camp project, when they come home I see the 'cover' laying in the garage, and I ask "Do I need to put the cover back on?" I get a cold NO, and then the story, I was creeping along and it blew off the truck. Well the plastic mounts are ruined and broken, so getting parts is over $300. But you know, this will be the last time I loan my truck to anyone EVER!!! worse now that it's paid off and I own it, no more payment. So now I have to find a new cover at my expense no less...So folks what covers are great for the money. I am looking at a full tilt by Extang, anyone have one?

    What type of tonneau are you looking for? Hard, hard that folds, soft?

    If a folding cover is what you're after I can highly recommend the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite! :thumbsup:

    I recently installed my undercover Flex, and I love it. It's a folding hard cover and so far woth all the Florida rain, the bed has remained completely dry!

    2015 Tacoma double-cab V6, 4x4.
    Hi, I'm new here. I just bought my first truck this week… it's a 2015 Tacoma double-cab w/ V6 & 4x4. I need to put a tonneau cover on it, but need some help on where to start. Folding, rolling, snapping… I can't decide and i don't know the pros/cons of each. It's mostly to keep stuff out of sight and dry. I don't think I'd be taking it off too often, maybe once or twice a month. I need it to be a good combination of price vs. quality, trying to stay under $500. I'm not familiar with any of the brands either. So if any of you out there can help out a nube, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    I'm happy with my Access soft roll top cover. Quality cover and hardware. Easy installation. Less than $400.

    This is the one I've had for about 10 years now, and has held up great.

    The thing I like, is that it's low profile, so it looks pretty subtle. I like that it's a roll up, it only takes up about 8 inches behind the bed when rolled up. When I used to ride, I could still get my dirtbike in the truck with the cover rolled up.

    Have one too. Happy with it , especially considering it was relatively inexpensive compared to others.

    Got mine on ebay for $120, shipping included. No name brand, for me works great. It's about 7 years old and still looks good.
