Tonnopro trifold, had it for a year, the weather stripping has started coming off(nothing gorilla glue won't fix,,), and the flap at the front is scratching my cab. If i had to do it again I'd get another truxedo truxport roll-up, had one on my dakota and my last ram, worked great.

I have a Lund genesis elite roll up, works great my back seat is no longer the tool box. I would have liked a trifold but need full access to my bed sometimes and be able to see out the rear Window.

Lund Genesis here. Only been on for a few days but looks to have the same quality as the lopro qt I had on my last truck and a lot cheaper.

Do these tops work well after excessive snowfall? Does the weight have any effect on them?

This is what I have and for almost two years now has been great. Still tight and doesn't leak unless power washed. Seen plenty of snow without sagging.

I had a tonno pro trifold. I liked it very well. I don't have any pictures but the worst thing about it is it stuck up it wasn't a low profile but it worked great for $300 it was hard to beat. Took about. 1 minute to get off if need be and 5ish to put back on of you ocd about how it lines up.

I have the same one. For less than $300 it's pretty nice and keeps everything BONE dry.

Plus I love the fact I can take it off in a few minutes.

My dad has the Gator SR2. He likes it. Pretty nice cover for the money. He got it for Christmas and we haven't noticed any sagging or anything with it at all. Rolls up out of the way

Had the Truxport for the last 4 years and it's been great. It keeps my bed dry and cargo hidden.

Decided (earlier today) to order the LoPro QT, also from Truxedo, since the Truxport is showing its age on the corners. (seems like a lower profile version of what I have currently)

Aside from the price difference... I thought about going with a Bak Fibermax hard cover, but decided to do another roll up since you can still have full use of your bed AND your rear view in a matter of seconds.

Here's a pic from the day I installed it... A shot of it rolled up so I could use my bed to haul my old wheels/tires... And a shot of it closed, with my swingcase from the back.

I can repost with the LoPro QT once that arrives...

I have the Tyger tri-fold from Amazon. Fits nice, looks good and easy to remove if you need the bed.

I have the Extang Fulltilt, so far I really like it, only had it for a coupe of months. It can be rolled up like a regular soft cover, opened like a hard cover, or be completely removed in about a minute if need be. The cross bows seem to be very strong and have 2 positions either low or high for more arch. I've been it some pretty heavy rains and my bed stays dry. Can't really give a good answer about the snow, haven't had any since I got it and don't normally get that much anyway but with the way the cross bows look it shouldn't have any problem with snow. My last cover only had 2 cross bows, this one has 3.

Tonnopro low roll up here. Love it. Rolls up to almost nothing and gives me full bed access in 2 min. Doesn't cover the rear window at all and has a 10yr warranty on the vinyls which is pretty thick. It's been on for 3 winters and 2 of them we got over 12" of snow in a single storm. So far it has worked flawlessly. I don't like the foldups due to back into blockage or u don't get a full bed. Next one I will do if I can afford it (and the reason I went with the tonnopro) is a bakflip rigid roll up but it's like $800.

Is there a soft tonneau that doesn't cover up the stake pockets? I have Bullring tie-downs in mine.

Just picked up an Extang Revolution from etrailer.com two weeks ago, I'll break this down into two parts because the seller did a magnificent job.

When I originally looked online etrailer had the cover for $50 less than Amazon, when I bought it was back up to the same price ($499). Ordered online with two-three day shipping ($23). Got an email a few hours later saying the item was not in stock and they were going to ship from the manufacturer. Panicked initially because I needed this thing in 6 days time for a trip. Called customer service who then called Extang, 3 minutes later got a tracking number and the thing was on my front porch in 48 hours. I will do business with etrailer again if they price match Amazon and would recommend folks check etrailer if you're looking for accessories, customer service was top notch in my experience.

I wanted a cover that had support braces which the Revolution does (3). Installation took about 45 minutes, directions were mostly intuitive and it can be rolled up in less than a minute or removed in about 3 minutes, taking the rails off would take 15, it does not cover up the stake holes. It flutters a little bit at highway speeds but most soft covers I've seen do. Water will get in around the edge near the cab and it collects in the corners, everything in the middle stayed dry. Light rain no problem but we drove through some real heavy stuff and it just gets through, they include a foam piece you can cut to fit to stick to the bed to help seal it but some water still got through. There are a couple of videos on youtube that go over the installation which were helpful for me as a first timer. The Revolution is on the high end as these things go but I'm hoping that will translate into long term durability and wear as time goes on.

Paid $50 for this roll up and can honestly say i dont know how I went this long without getting one it makes a world of difference in terms of style, security, fuel savings, best thing ive done to my truck so far.
p.s. what i mean by fuel saving is ive noticed im not going to the gas station as much ive traveled from my hometown of Fallon to Carson City there and back twice on a 1/4 tank before i was almost using 1/2 tank to do that.

I have a Roll-N-Lock and absolutely love it! ...They are pricey, but worth every penny!
