Default Tri-fold/rolling hard Tonneau

Looking at tri-fold and rolling hard covers (like Roll-N-Lok and BAKflip X2/X4) for the 6-6 bed. Seems like none are offered anymore. Curious what others have found.

Not worried about frequent access to front 1/3 of bed. Only thing that will be there is the battery and roll cage bars.

Default

have install both styles...can't remember the brands

roll ups
-look great, secure.
- installed one that was powered with a remote. power unit could barely retract the cover, very $$$
- even the manual ones may not move smooth if they live a hard life.

tri fold
faster install. better price, more robust imo due to its simple design
-mopar covers for the 4th gen require take longer to install but have a much better retaining system then aftermarket builds...not sure if they make the same style for a 3rd gen

I went with a hard tonneau for mine...love the look but makes the bed useless and forget removing it by yourself.
