Here is a hard cover that I was considering switching to, but I prefer to keep the soft cover. Maybe one of you guys in the Pennsylvania area would want it. He'll probably take less than he is asking.

I found that last week and really thought it over good. I was close to getting it, but I think the roll up cover is better for my needs. I saw it new for $650 for our trucks, and $200 is a hell of a deal. Hopefully someone on the forum will get in on it. It's worth a decent road trip.

I have the undercover model, and it's AWESOME.

camping stuff fits under there nicely.

pops on and off easily with 1 person (ok, not so easily, but it's doable)


it's off now for motorcycling, it goes on for camping trips and winter.


I never understood having a cover for a pickup bed until I moved to Seattle, haha.

Welcome to the forum! As far as what to look for in a tonneau cover, first decide what kind you want (hard, roll up, tri-fold, etc) then decide if you want over the top rail or even with the top rail. Then how it attaches (snaps, zippers, velcro,etc)...then it's a matter of if it fits the 3rd gen (2005 and up) bed side as the top rail on our trucks tapers, so an 04 tonneau cover would fit a 2010, but it would show more of the top rail at the cab end of the bed. Just make sure it is in decent shape and not dry rotted, it has all the bows (if equipped) and all the hold down clamps.

That is a nice looking cover. I keep debating between a soft cover and a roll n lock.

how about a picture of the bed with just the framework of the cover minus the cover?
