Hey gang..
Looking to get a good quality bed retractable bed tonneau cover for my wife's 2012 Dodge Ram Sport. We would prefer one that enables the tailgate to open/close without having to mess with the cover. Planning on going on a trip and want to throw the luggage back there without fear of rain.

I really like my Extang Trifecta folding cover. I've run them on three different trucks now. Easy to install and remove, no tools or drilling, hinged top retracts in seconds and it holds up great under heavy snow too because it has a boxed frame, no bows. The only drawback is it doesn't retract to leave the whole bed accessible like the roll up ones do since it folds in thirds. If you need to load something large like a tractor or furniture you need to take it off.

On the Extang Trifecta folding cover, does it handle the weather and Sun fine? I mean, it is a soft top cover, no?

Mine handles the weather just fine, rain, snow no problem even car wash.
last few few winters mine has had some pretty large amount of snow on it and no issues. Yes it is a soft cover. It will stretch some , them when the sun hits it , it will tighten back up. I have had mine going on 6 years and no issues at all.

Truxedo lo-pro qt has a lifetime warranty. The rest are 3 to 5. We sell these every day and they are a quality simple cover.

The Trifecta is built in 3 folding sections, each section has an aluminum frame. Its not a hard cover. It holds up very well in heavy snow, never bowed or caved in once on me!
