i have the Mopar tonneau cover on mine....it's pretty simular to the Lund we had on our 2nd gen....nice thing about it is that it's color matched at the factory so you dont have to order one from an aftermarket place and then hope the color matches or is close enough

I personally went with an Undercover. You can't color match it but I wanted back anyways. It matches the black trim on the doors mirrors and handles. I like it because I can take it off BY MY SELF in 5 minutes or less! It weighs 60 lbs total... I guess it depends on who you are and what you believe. I've heard covers help gas mileage slightly, but fiberglass and solid ones usually weigh in over 100lbs sometimes a LOT over and that extra weight counters any aerodynamic gain and MPG savings. I did want a solid lockable one though.Undercover is lockable, has a double seal to keep waterout, it has a 3 LED light.With being only 60 lbs it is very easy to open and close.

I have an Extang cover. Had to go with something affordable.... 2 years and no rips, stretches or discoloration. Good luck in your purchase!

I just installed an extang trifecta, quick on and off and an overall really nice unit.

the place i go to got the paint code from the truck and matched the color exactly, i didn't get mopar because it was about twice the price at the dealer and was told it didn't have a lock like some of the aftermarket tonneaus.

*points and nods at Hemiriden*

I have an Undercover as well and love it. A bud of mine has an Armor Lid on his Chebby, only difference is the support "webbing" has an additioncover on it, so it doesn't look "skeletal". Same latches and locks, same mounting system, same cover, BUT $ 100.00 cheaper. I got mine from someone slightly usedotherwise I would have saved the cash and got the Armor Lid.


Here's the linky to Armor Lid... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...03686&rd=1

well...whoever told you, told you wrong....mine locks, and it wasnt that much more compared to the aftermarket ones.....but to each their own

i also went with a Mopar one cause i've had bad luck trying to get paint matched to my color.....
