Bed Cover Recommendations

[flat_tire]

Hey all,

Just recently got a used 2019 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with the 6.4" bed (Big Horn edition). So far so good! Just installed some running boards so my kids can get in and out easier and the next thing on the list is a bed cover. Looking for recommendations.

What I want:

• Open from cab and tail gate
• Open and close cover without opening the tail gate
• Hard cover
• Would prefer to have as much usable space when cover is open as possible

Budget is what it needs to be if the cover is worth it. Seems like most "quality" ones are around the $1k range which is fine. Cheaper is better, but want something good. The diamond plate cover for $1800 could be in budget if you convince me it is worth it.

So...whatcha got?

The biggest problem is to find one that opens from the front and folds up to give maximum bed area. I have an Undercover Armorflex that meets all the criteria except the cab end open. It folds up so there's only about 4" of bed area not open, tailgate closes with it down and it's LineX coated to protect the aluminum skin from dents and scratches. Around $1000 for starters.

Each separate section also latches to make it harder to pry up also.
