Default Tonneau Cover

I am looking for a tonneau cover for my 2009 Ram quad cab. I would like a soft sided one that rolls up and has bows in it to keep it from sagging. I would like to stay away from snaps or velcro if possible. Any suggestions?

I bought the Mopar one at my dealer for about $370. Doesnt use velcro or snaps. It has a rigid piece of plastic that rides in a rail. Kind of hard to explain but works very nice. Rolls up out of the way and took about 1hr to install. No drilling required and looks nice and clean. Can't comment on the durability because I've only had it about two weeks. But so far, I like it.

Access makes great ones. Check them out. They are pretty cheap (around $400) and can be installed in minutes without drilling. If you live in an area of the country that has winter weather the Access line is supposed to be one of the best for holding up in cold and salty conditions.

Truxedo... I live in northern Newyork where we measure our snow storms in feet per hour. It holds up without any sag when piled to the roof line. I Have ahd these on 4 trucks and love them. Heavy bars rollup with the cover and releases with one latch in the back.

Auto anything or local stores carry them.

I have owned bothTruxedo and Access, I found the Access was the better of the 2, but they both used velcro which worked fine.

Don't buy teh Extang Trifecta - it does not fit well on our "shaped" beds.

I have a Sportmaster on my '93 S-10, that still looks and works well. It fastens without drilling, and snaps in place with "snaps".

I had a soft cover on my old DAK and was always bothered by the amount of, "flapping" at highways speeds. Still looking (and saving some pennies) for a more heavier duty soft cover for the RAM.
