Default Looking for Some Opinions on Covers

For Christmas this year I am going to get a tonneau cover for my truck. After looking around and reading some reviews, and also talking to people I know who have covers on their vehicles, I have narrowed it down to four choices and would like to get your opinions on them. I only have a few things I want for sure. Must be soft, roll up type with a way to secure the cover at the front of the bed. Don't want snaps, prefer velcro or other type of snapless secure system.

First, Extang RT Cover

Seems pretty good and meets my basic requirements.


Extang Revolution Cover

Also seems really nice, but I'm not really clear on what separates it from the first one.

Truxedo Lo Pro Cover
http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/s..._loprofile.htm

Good friend has one, so I know it is nice firsthand. Also a good brand and meets all the requirements.


Finally, Truxedo Deuce Cover
http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/s...xedo_deuce.htm

Honestly I am leaning towards this one the most, I like how it meets all the requirements, is from a good brand, and the dual functionality of it.

So please give me your opinions and anecdotes about these covers. Thanks.

Personally, I would go with the extang only because I have one and it can only get good reviews from me, however I have a snap-on type, but I love it. My opinion is biased anyways as I have never owned a Truxedo cover before.

I had a Deuce on my 01 F150. I liked it except you can't lock the front section, so it is a bit less secure. I have the standard TruXedo on my Ram. I got it instead of the Lo Pro because I found this one on Ebay new for $199 shipped. It has never leaked and rolls up easy for full access to the bed.
TruXedo is the only brand for me. High quality stuff!!

I STRONGLY recommend the Access Lorado tonneu. By FAR the best tonneau i've ever used.
