Default Truck Cover

Due to unfortunate circumstances....(like I hardly drive the Dak anymore, my son comes home from school in a few weeks, the garage only holds 3 cars and we have 4 and the boss keeps questioning why I have to take up garage space with a vehicle I don't drive) the Dak will be spending some quality time outdoors in the backyard....anyone have experience with car covers that are actually any good? I don't want to spend a fortune, but I also don't want some cheap pos that will stick to the paint on the first hot day....any recommendations?

well you will certainly want one with a soft microfiber inner lining, and the outside will need to be UV proof, so I don't recommend vinyl.. I had a vinyl one and it lasted half a year before it got hard and crumbled so bad it started ripping the inner lining.

people at mustang forums seem to like these guys

www.calcarcover.com looks pretty custom and pricy but 4 year warranty is nice.

I have a Covercraft 'Noah' cover for my car, it is a great cover. It fits real snug so it will not blow off, which had happened with a previous cover that I had. I had it on my car for a 51 day stretch during the winter of 2010-2011 when we got dumped on with snow, including a nice 28" dump. I uncovered it and my car looked like it just came out of the car wash, I didn't even have to hit it with the car duster. There is a 4 year warranty on it too, it's worth every penny.
