What Tonneau Cover do you guys have that really like? I've had 2 different styles in the past, both Mopar brand. One had snaps and was okay. The other used a belt rail and it was not user friendly. When it was cold if you roll it up, good luck rolling it back out. My wife has one on here truck that has velcro to at the sides and seems okay. I like having my stuff in the bed covered esp on rainy days, but when I need to haul something I like something that I can roll up quickly and get out of the way, but also roll back out without it being a pain.

I had a Truxedo brand with velcro sides and a rail above the tailgate that would release to roll it up. Worked great, was on my truck for 7 years, still worked and looked like new. I bought it from Whitney's, put the framework on in about 20 minutes, It was not too expensive and was easily adjustable to allow for really cold or hot weather up
I'd buy another, but first I'd have to buy another truck

I've got an American Tri-fold Tonneau. I wanted an inexpensive cover but not one that rolls up. This one is light and doesn't stick up too high. The only thing I didn't like was how the weather stripping was designed at the front of the cover. I had to do some trimming so it would sit down nice against the bed. I think it mostly had to do with how the front of the box is designed on the Ram.

I've only had to remove it once to haul something really big where I needed the entire bed exposed. It's just held on in four places and can be removed/installed very quickly.

I have the tonno-pro hard fold and it has been on three different trucks with no issues. I bought it for a 2004 Ram short bed and it's now on my 2012 Ram. I like it because you can latch it down and not worry about some one getting into the bed. It's 4 years old and still looks like new. shop around and you can find it a lot cheaper.

I just put a new "Access" brand roll up cover on mine. I had one on my other truck and really liked it. I shopped around and found the best price was on eBay, no tax, no shipping costs. Easy to put on.

I have the tri fold on my 2014 ram. I really like it but the area where it folds kinda stretches the vinyl over time.

Big fan of the Truxedo Lo Pro QT covers. Wish I could get one for my 78.

I had the American Tri-Fold on my '06 also. Put it on in May of '12 and was still on it when I traded it in Sept. of '17. Wiped it down several times a year with ArmorAll and it still looked new. up
