Default Tonneau cover RAM 1500 QC- Suggestions?

I'm looking for a new tonneau cover for my new RAM 1500 SXT 4X4 QuadCab.
This is my first pickup. Totally newbie on tonneau cover.
What do you guys/girls like? Live in Canada so I hope to buy inside the country if possible. Do I have to stick with MOPAR?
What about rollnlock and peragon?

Thanks for any input

i have an extang that i bought from autoanything.com and i love it! it is a soft cover that rolls up, pops up or can be taken off with one person in a matter of 30 seconds.

I have a Truxedo TruXport on my 08. It works fine and isn't too expensive. Got it new on Ebay for $199 shipped.

caliboy@heart, lxman1 Thanks for your replies.

I forgot to mention that I also need a tonneau that can be locked and is weatherproof.

Thanks again!

Get a folding one like Lund tri-fold. I love mine.

I've had an Extang Black-Max cover on my truck since the day I bought it in 2005 and have ZERO complaints with it. It has been on probably 15,000 miles worth of road trips, and through all weather conditions, it has not leaked a single drop. It's a breeze to take off and put back on (soft snap on, roll-up style). I recently hit it with some foamy tire shine spray, and it looks pretty much like new again.

*EDIT* Ahhh... need to be lockable. Well, the Extang is pretty much weatherproof, but not lockable. Sorry.

I have been looking at a brand called undercovers. it's about $700 for my 2007 quad cab. once it is installed, it can be taken off or put on in 60 seconds or less. lockable and weather proof.

Ditto on the Lund TriFold. I've had mine about month and love it. Hopefully it will hold up.

Another Lund Tri-Fold here. Love it! Super easy to install, even with the factory bedliner.

Had it on my '05 since I bought it. Never leaked a drop, and is tuff enough to hold up to the lake effect snow dumpings we get here. Big beefy frame and crossmembers.

Easy access, and folds up and pops completely off in less than a minute.

Got mine for a little under $300.00 with tax. Wanted a fiberglass cap, but this worked for what I needed it for at less than half the price.......no regrets here.

I don't think the Lund Tri-Fold can be locked though, isn't it?
