I know there are tons of choices, but I wanted to know from those of you that have them, are there any out there that actually follow the quirky contour of the 3rd gen bed, how the top rail tapers from front to back? One way to avoid that is to get a between the rail type, but those are expensive. I just want something that will not look funky with part of the top rail showing at the front sides or the cover hanging over at the back sides because the bed is not square.

 

I used to have a soft tonneau and it was okay. But I love the fiberglass one that I have now, I even painted it to match the body color. It sets flush with the bed. Here is a site with some similar to mine.

Here's mine, Truxedo Truxport. It sits on top of the bedrail all the way, I think it is a great fit.

 

I'm looking at an Extang Blackmax....good price, good reviews...

 

Photobucket wouldnt let me crop, but heres a pic of the one that was on my truck when I bought it. You cant really see it, but it does follow the bed nice. It was a lund, and was actually pretty nice. I got rid of it because it was a PITA, and I like an open box. It had button snaps too, which I liked because Im not a fan of velcro or those new plastic snaps. I sold it for $100 on craigs after I was rear ended.

My dad bought me the Extang Trifecta for christmas. Its just like the Trifold but soft top. I love it because of how easy it is fold up, just pull down on the clamps to unhook it. And it looks really nice on the truck. Plus its completly waterproof.
