I have the same cover. I negotiated it with the purchase of the truck so I got mine for free . Just a word of advice be careful when folding it back towards the window as the metal on the hooks can puncture the fabric. I think I might have to find some rubber plugs. Actually I just bought a new 13 RAM and negotiated another new cover lol. So I will have to make sure I protect it from day one. I can post a picture of what I am talking about regarding the punctures.

Can't say I have any compaints about my Fold-a-cover since I bought it used some years ago and I certainly don't baby it. I do have to admit I bought it because it was the cheapest hard unit I could find ($300 used) but I didn't really like the backflip that blocks the view when folded up. The only annoyance I have is the removal of the whole thing needs a wrench but maybe the newer models are different.

Default Roll-X

I bought the roll-x a few weeks ago, like the idea of having a cover with the best of both worlds being hard and roll away. I must say for the price I am disappointed. First the install direction that come with the kit are very generic and all the photos are of an F150, tired to go to their website for ram specific directions and there are none on the site. I emailed their customer service about the issue and never heard anything back. Another complaint I have is were the side rails over lap the tail gate the seals on the bottom side of the rail hit the tail gate when you close it and basically become unstuck for the rail and fold back. the only way i found to get around this is to bend the back of the rails up a bit to give some clearance. the real seal on the cover that should seal to the tailgate doesn't make the greatest contact and also the side seals up towards the cab haven't conformed like the direction said they over time

In the end if I had to do it over I think for the price it doesn't live up to what i though it was going to be and I would find something different.

Love the Roll-X BAK Industries in principle but am concerned about what the previous poster stated about the installation issues. Wonder what the Roll-X costs? AutoAnything wants a whopping $899!!!!! Wow!
Saran wrap is starting to look good.

What is the cover that Dodge provides from the factory? I tried to order it but it was restricted due to my ordering the Dodge Ram Box option. The dealer offered to install it for free (if it fits the narrower cargo box size), if I purchase it over his parts counter less 15%.
