Depends on what kind of cover you are looking for. a hard cover of a soft cover. Lots of talk about the Truxedo and also the backflip. Those are cloth Tonneau. But I have an ARE fiberglass one that I enjoy.
No I'm not stalking you. lol

I am using a fiberglass one now for the winter time, roll bar will be going back in shortly. Its great to keep stuff protected but sucks for hauling. I got it cheap so it works. I would prefer a roll up soft one.

You need to get custom one to go around the bar. lol

I just put a BAK flip on my truck and I'm happy with it. It's not cheap though, but buy once cry once.

aight im gona look at pep boys and compare prices. a hard one would be nice but i dont think it would be practicle for what i haul. it can go from hockey bags to kayaks, and kayaks wouldnt work with a hard top

I am looking into a retractable one:
RETRAX truck bed cover pickup bed cover tonneau cover roll top cover
RETRAX truck bed cover pickup bed cover tonneau cover roll top cover
Bakflip covers are really nice, I bought an F1 for $807 total including shipping from truckchamp.com on Saturday, delivery scheduled for tomorrow. Not cheap however I wanted something that would last a few years and be easy to work with.

Hey Matt -- I'm getting ready to install either a BakFlip G2 or an Extang Solid Fold on my 2011 and I think that either would work out great for you. The G2 will fold all the way up against the back window and has struts that hold it up in place. Very slick. You only lose maybe 4 inches at the front of the bed and that's only if your load sticks above the bed. On the Extang you can only fold it to the last panel, but it is easily removable if you need the full bed. Either one has the ability to actually carry a load on top of them, but the Solid Fold is the stronger of the two.
