Pace Edwards Cover
Had a Rhino liner put in today and the shop was able to get there hands on a Pace Edwards metal roll-away cover. I am a big fan of these because with a tailgate lock you have secure storage. Anyhow, the PE cover did not fit thought it was specific for the 09 ram. The box where the cover rolls into was a 1/4 to 1/2 inch to wide. He is checking with PE. Be carefull buying aftermarket parts early in the run.
Another note, the dealer had installed a plastic bedliner which I had them remove. I can't believe people use them any more. Anyhow, the plastic flange on the tailgate is a once use only. They had to take it off and now the damn thing won't stay on. If you drag the slightest item over it it dislodges. Oh and by the way, you really have to leave the over the rail plastic covers on because there are some mammoth holes in the metal where these things fit. Can't do an over the the rail spray in bed liner.

Try the "undercover" from Versacover (www.versacover.com). Just ordered & installed one on my '09 Sport. Had one on my '03 as well. This is the absolute best cover I've ever seem. Check the website. 65 lbs., easy on & off, waterproof!, fits beautifully over '09 tailgate & locks it in place, LED light, lockable, quality hardware, great customer service. Special now on free delivery. I guess you can tell how happy I am with it.

The PE Full Metal Jack Rabbit is an OK cover. But, for the same price, the TruckCoversUSA cover is superior. TCUSA is also powdercoated aluminum but it's double walled and can hold over 500 pounds (the PE is rated about 200 pounds). Also, the TCUSA has the smallest rollup canister on the market at only 8" x 8". The TCUSA slats are interconnected and the PE slats are attached by rubber which can break.
The '09 Ram beds are wide toward the front and narrow at the tailgate (unlike previous Rams).

I got the Mopar soft tonneau cover for my crew cab. I know its not a hard cover so it won't provide lockable storage with my locking tailgate, but that wasn't important to me. I'm very happy with it. It fits great and was easy to install. I got it with my eSpiff $1000 coupon for mopar accessories when I bought the truck. It was lucky I found that deal too. I was ready to go to the dealer to pick up my truck when I stumbled upon the coupon online. I printed it up and got the tonneau cover, a bed mat, slush mats, trailer tow mirrors and a bed extender. Not to shabby!
