Default Tonneau Cover Suggestions

I am the owner of a new06 Dakota Quad Cab (4.7 V8) in Light Khaki. It has a black bed liner and I am thinking of adding a tonneaucover as Ilive in PA and want tokeep the snow and weather out. After checking the web I don't really like the solid tops as they look like too much trouble to remove if I need full bed access but the retractables and folders look interesting. Any suggestions or ideas?

THX!

Congrats on your purchase!! I have a truxedo tonneau on mine I Believe it is the sport can't remember for sure but I love it. Use it tons and it looks great, no snaps works well in cold weather and I couldn't be happier with it. The only time I've had it leak was when power washing the truck and spray a seam for a decent amount of time.

I have had the Access Roll-Up Cover on my '05 Dak through two nasty NJ winters, no leaks and looks as good as the day I put it on. Check out www.agricover.com If you decide on it, order the protectant too.

I bought my snapless from these guys

http://stores.ebay.com/TruckStoreUSA


They had GREAT customer service. I won the auction.. paid.. and found out I ordered the wrong one the next day. I called to change the order. It was too late they shipped already. (Good stuff - hard to find people htat ship the very next mornign) but they called fedex for me and canceled the shipping.. and sent me out a new one at no extra charge to me.. or no extra shipping..

Good stuff. Fits like a glove. I love it.. and it's fine in the -20 weather here too.

I have the roll and lock cover. Love it. Secures the back tailgate and anything in the bed. Low profile also. If given the chance to get another, I would stick with the Roll And Lock!

Congrats on the new buy. I went with a tri fold cover on mine. It locks on both ends. I bought it from Dodge so it has the Ram head on it.

From the looks of it, We all have a different one and we all like what we have. Sounds like if you look around, any one you choose that you personally like the style and features, you will like!
