Tonneau Covers

[ajkarn]

Looking to find out pros / cons for the types of covers out there. Can you guys share your experiences? I have a 2009 1500 crew cab short bed and would like to get opinions about what members have had experience with.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Century Cover, no problems with it and it´s easy to install, took about 15min with 2 guys, i decided to install a wing and the Super Bee labels, the cover looks too clean/flat for me (sorry for my bad english, i´m from germany^^)

I have a Undercover , it is by far easy to install and remove ,lighter by half and stronger . The only negative thing is that you can't paint it to match your truck body colour . I have had fiberglass before and they are nice but a headache when taking them on and off.

I am new here but lurked around doing research before I bought my 09 Ram.
As far as a tonneau cover I have an ARE LSII on a 2009 Crew Cab. It has a really nice raised center section that mirrors the hood. It is raining here in PA today but as soon as I can take a pic I will post it.

I just installed a bakflip HD on my crew cab. So far I'm really happy with it, I'll post pics soon.

My friend has one of those tri fold deals. It comes off in about 60 seconds. He has a 09 and have 10. Im going to get one. He said he got his from a leonard dealer for like 300 bucks. No drilling or anything required. I like the idea of being able to take it off if you dont want it.

advice if you live in a place that gets cold winters dont get a vinyl snap mine broke cause the snaps are frozen. or take it off during winter.

best bet fiberglass them are real nice

We are getting a Truxedo Revolution cover for this truck. We had an undercover hard cover before and liked it, but wanted to be able to use the bed more. :)

I'm using an A.R.E. on my 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7-Liter V8 HEMI works well and looks good.

I too have the Undercover. I did not want a painted one and I certainly did not want a hard heavy fiberglass type or roll up type. This comes off in about ten seconds and weighs only about fifty pounds. One person can lift it off and hang it up. Ten people can stand on it on the truck. It's that strong and really well made!!!

Anyone have a Gaylords? That is the one I have been thinking about getting but wasn't sure on fitment... It looks the best in my opinion...

[alharm1]

I have the TonnoPro Tri-Fold. Looks nice, very convenient. Only cost $260 from Autoanything.com.

I Have the Undercover SE Smooth painted to match. its a great cover. Lightweight and strong as hell.
