Picking up a new RAM 4x4 V8 Big Horn this weekend and it doesn't come with a bed cover.

I'd like to ask if there are any recommended brands/models that people have found to be good quality and would buy again, thank you!

How often are you going to use the bed? Are you going to haul a lot of stuff?
Do you have anyone to help you take it off if necessary? How important is it to be water tight? What's your price range?

I have the tonno pro low roll. I've had it for a while now and it's great for the price and water doesn't get into my bed.

I had an access roll up cover and I was hauling some stuff inside and caused it to rip, completely my fault, I called them up and asked if I could get a replacement cover and they sent me one for $10....makes the next one I get will be access

I have the Mopar Tri=Fold...poured for 5 hours from Lake Placid to Staten Island and was bone dry...like the cover...One thing I am not crazy is the clamping system...no biggie, but thats the one thing I don't like

Truxedo Lo Pro QT. The only issue is a little water gets in the rear seal with the pressure washer, but not with weather. 3 years and still like new

Went with Paragon tonneau cover. Color matched. Folds up and unlatches to completely come out when I need to use the full bed. Got the weather sealant package they offer and it keeps everything in my bed dry. Love it and it's been great through our winter here.

All American made too.

I've been considering one of these. But was concerned it seems to be aluminum. Worried about denting & noise going down the road. Have you had either of those problems? I really like the way it collapses completely & removes so easily. I have not seen the weather sealant package on any listings. What is that?

Thanks,

Undercover 1 pc here. I don't haul anything large. Really stays dry and it is easy to clean. Would buy it again.

I picked up a BakFlip G2 & BakBox off craigslist. I love it so far. Hasn't rained hard since I bought it but it is supposed to today. I will see how it holds up. Other than that zero complaints. I did not want a soft top cover for several reasons so I am glad I went with this, and it looks awesome on the truck.

I've had a TonnoPro Tri-fold that I really liked. Kept the bed dry and was easy to remove when I needed full access. Plus for the price its hard to beat.

I got a basic tri fold off ebay for like $150 an it been perfect for over a year.. almost water tight and no issues. Pops off in 1 min to carry large loads or folds up into one section.
