i've got this fiberglass from A.R.E. on the dodge, but they are pricey painted to match, with the spoiler and all about 1600, but it looks hella good

I had one the access rollup covers on my old truck if your looking for a vynel that's good quality, cheapish but still easy to use and install and looks good, i got a literider for about 400 shipped, self installed. looks good with bed rails installed, and don't really lose any bedspace for hauling cargo

I have a Truxedo lo-pro soft cover. Just roll it up when you need to.

I have an undercover. It is plastic and black. IT goes well with the trim of the truck, so it look natural. I love it, total cost was 650 installed if i remember right. Weighs in at 60lbs... i can remove it in less then 5 minutes, and install it just as fast. It has improved my mileage to get me 16 city and damn near 20 highway... Fiberglass covers look nice, but the weight will eliminate any fuel savings with the extra weight. The vinyl one's are not lockable, but if it is just to keep pests out they would work fine too. You could also get one that rolls up, they are usually made of aluminum, and cost as much as fiberglass...

You can look at my pictures to see my undercover.

lanceh13, resize man!!! Yeash... lol


Anyway, the best of both worlds is the BakFlip tonneau. It's a hard tonneau so punk kids just can't take a knife to it and ruin your day. However it also folds up all the way to the cab giving you 99% of the bed for you to use. I love mine. I've been through a couple of good down pours and my bed stays 99.9% dry (some water gets in around the tailgate, I didn't buy the tailgate sealer kit yet). It's also a low profile tonneau, only sticking above the bed rails about a 1/4 inch. Also the only way to open it is to open your tailgate first, so if you put on a locking tailgate like a bully, you have a secure bed.... And it only took about 20 minutes to install myself....
