I've been thinking of a tonneau cover for my Ram Daytona and I'd like one that fits between the bed side rails (rather than on top due to the rear wing).

Can anyone recommend a good 'roll-up' cover ?

Thanks,

hard or soft roll-up?

Some good hard top roll ups are either the Bedlocker or JackRabbit by Pace Edwards here or Peragon's folding hard cover here

Any of these soft covers here

 

I wanted a hard, roll-up kind. The type where the frames are on the bed side rails and the cover itself rolls into a canister at the head of the bed.

I've looked at the Pace-Edwards Jack Rabbit and Roll Top styles and they look good. The issue I have is with the rear wing on the Daytona. I contacted Pace-Edwards directly and talked to their tech department. They really couldn't offer any solution because that would be an unauthorized mod to their product. The options I have are to notch the roll up cover's side rails to clear the wing or sandwich them between the wing and bed side rails. The tech said these should work but of course he can't endorse them (which I understand)

I was hoping there might be someone here on the forum that has installed a roll-up bed cover on a Datona Ram before I plunked down my $800 and I could get some lessons learned.

I/ve got a Truxedo and like it. It's not the cheapest one out there, but the quality is good. It's vinyl, goes inside the bed rails and with the LoProfile, is about flush with the top of them. When you roll it up, the supports are attached so you don't have them rolling around the bed. I like it alot better than a hard cover because I tend to want to use more of the bed.

 

I would recommend the Lund Genesis roll up cover. One of the nicest out there right now, just as nice as the Truxedo, but less money.
As for the wing, im not sure what covers will fit with it or not, we have not tried to install one on that truck before. Ill make some calls and see what i can come up with.

 

i have the Access Roll Up Limited. it's the best one on the market. My friend put one on his Daytona and loves it

 

Do you have a web link or dealer info on the Access Roll Up Limited? Can you lock the tailgate?

 

I have a 05 Daytona, and was looking into the roller top covers but have recently seen a few and just not as clean and smooth as I wanted so I decided to go with a Lorado ( http://www.lorado.com/php/features.php ). Ive never owned a PU so dont really have much experience with tonneus but I like this one. Its easy to use and install.

Here is my gallery at http://www.rumblebee.org = http://www.rumblebee.org/album_perso...p?user_id=1316

Hope this helps..

 

Thanks for the info and the links. I have a 05 Quad Daytona too, but in orange. It looks pretty sweet in silver too! The Lorado looks smooth and really compliments the wing. I am looking for something a little more secure as I traded up (way up) from an 02 Chevy Avalanche and I'm used to a secure bed cover, but everthing else out there for standard bed trucks look like a damn garage door with plate armor on the bed rails which I will have to relocate the wing onto. The Avalanche cover was flush with the bed rails and was made of composite plastic and comes off in three lockable sections, each able to support 250lbs. It looks like the way to go is with the Lorado or Truxedo unit for now until something else comes along.

Thanks again...

 

I ordered a roll-up toneau cover for my '05 Ram Daytona from Retrax. It comes in a Gloss Black weather-proof paint capable of holding 250lbs. Fits in with the wing and dealer installed bedliner. Only have to cut out the front bed overhang. Comes with electronic tailgate lock, electonic cover lock, and flat black cover for the tailgate handle that all ties in with the dealer installed security system.. All for less than $1000, including taxes and shipping. Had to wheel and deal, but that's what I got coming to me in a few days. will let ya'll know how it goes.

Aonther subject. . . Had the dealer install the '05 security system for the '05 Ram Daytona. . .so far, it's been in the shop twice to make it work. Will findo out today. Beware!!!!!
