Looking at the 3 section ones. Not trying to spend much more than $300. I know Bakflip are nice but $$$$$$.

Amazon has a tri fold cover from Tyger automotive that I have had for a couple of years and it’s holding up great. Cost about $200.

Love my Lomax...but not even close to 300$. I also don't think it is overpriced at all. Excellent product.

I've also got the Tyger soft tri-fold. I would have prefered one that is low-profile and sits between the rails instead of on the rails, but I didn't want to spend that much money. I've only had my Tyger cover for a few months and it has been great thus far.

I prefer the hard or solid tonneau covers over the soft covers.

I had an Extang Solid Tri Fold cover on my last truck, and I really liked it. The solid covers offer added security over the soft covers, and are just as easily opened or removed as needed.

It really depends on how you use your truck bed - are you going to be folding the cover a lot, or removing it often? Another primary consideration is - do you care how it looks, specifically regarding whether the cover is low profile, on rails along the bed, or sits on top of the bed with a higher profile? (This attribute is quite a serious consideration for many)

If you just want to keep the sun and rain off your bed and cargo, a soft cover is budget friendly, and its easy to find many options under $200.00.

If the added security is something you would value, there are solid tri fold covers available in the $300-$400 range.

I went with a hard fiberglass cover on my current truck, and for me, it is perfect for my needs. If I were looking for the fold and removal convenience, I would give the Lomax a try - very sharp and low profile, but as someone said, quite a bit above the OP’s stated budget.

Check out eBay and Amazon for deals - I got the Extang I mentioned above for $400, New & delivered, which was 1/2 off the normal $800 price tag.

In the event you entertain other options , I had a tri-fold and tired quickly of having to remove it for certain loads. In 2005 I put an Access Limited Edition on my Z71 and it still looks new. The velcro still holds down without curling.

I really like the ACCESS soft roll up cover. I had one on my 1998 Ram 1500 and i've installed on my 2011 Ram 2500. I had the 1500 when I lived in Incline Village, NV, which is on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Those years in the winter months, we would routinely get snow storms that dumped 4 to 5 feet of snow. When I'd get out to my truck, it would look like I had installed a slide in snow camper. The ACCESS tonneau cover has metal supports that went from bed rail to bed rail and easily handled all the weight of the snow. I did brush the snow off before driving, but was very impressed with its strength. When I needed to use the bed of the truck without the cover in place, it was very easy to roll the cover up for full use of the bed. I've gone camping in rainy weather and was able to stay dry under the cover. 20181222_135815.jpg 20181222_135815.jpg

I had the Tonno Pro tri fold on my old truck. Was great for the first few years but the nylon straps that the clips are on to clip it when its folded both deteriorated so I put a couple large wire ties on there in place of them and the stitching started to look sketchy in a few spots but after 6 years was still pretty decent. Oh, and the rubber weatherstrip that sits on the bed rails peeled loose so I used weatherstrip adhesive to reattach them.

What's a good one for a Ram that has the Ram Boxes?
I purchased a Truxedo Pro x15 for my ram with rambox yesterday for 450$. I will post a pic after i install it.

Anyone have the new Weathertech Alloycover? Been looking at that one and looks pretty good. I've always been pretty impressed with their products.
