Default Bed Cover for '08 Dakota

Looking at getting an '08 Dakota with the 'utility system' in the back. Problem is it looks to me like a tonno cover will not fit because of the cargo tie downs/rails. I'm pretty sure an Access Roll-up will definitely not fit. Does anyone on here have an '08 with the 'utility system?' If so, which make/model tonno are you using, or do you know of any that will fit? Thanks.

Default Truxedo

I put a Truxedo on mine. $279.00 on Ebay. Installed in minutes, tight as a snare drum, looks killer. PM me your e-mail for pics.

Here is one taken a few days ago. Yesterday I had a Rhino liner done. Now looking to level the front and add wheels & tires.

Thanks for the pic TRX4_2008. The Truxedo looks real good, and so does the whole truck for that matter. How do you like the 2008 in general? Did you have an '05, '06, or '07 before you got the '08? If so, how do they compare? The lease on my '06 is about to expire and they're having fire sales on the '08's right now. Is there anyone else on here who has an '08 and previously had an '05, '06, or '07? If so, what are your impressions as far as how they compare? Thanks.

I have had a 99, 02, and 05. I've added pics to my photo album. Can't say I have a favorite except that each one is better than the one before, and something about these trucks keeps me coming back.

TRX4_2008-

Is that a Truxedo Truxport you have on there? Checked out your photo album. That's definitely a killer looking truck you've got there.
