BakFlip
4.3
(26)
"I've had my bakflip F1 on my 2016 for almost 5 years and haven't had any issues with it."
"Not a roll up but I have a Backflip 3 and it is awesome. Hard top, flips up, and dirtbikes fit just fine with it in the up position."
"Love it so far. Doesnt leak."
"Looks better and you don't lose any bedspace."
"I’ve had my F1 model since 2012."
"I have and love my MX4."
"I really do like it."
"I really love my BakFlip. It folds far enough to give 5th wheel access without having to flip the final time against the rear glass. Keeps contents covered and dry when not towing."
"If you’re willing to spend a little more the bakflip mx4 is a great choice."
"Best purchase ever."

Gator
4.4
(18)
"Got that one too, and it's been almost perfect. So little water penetration on mine I'd almost claim it's waterproof."
"I LOVE my Gator SFX... highly recommend it."
"It’s been flawless."
"Almost 5 years later and no issues whatsoever."
"Love it. Three distinct panels and easy to install/remove."
"I’ve had a soft Gator purchased on Amazon for 3 years."
"Https://realtruck.com/p/gator-efx-hard-fold-tonneau-cover/guc-gc14020/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0ruyBhDuARIsANSZ3woQ37b3Qfa9SUoRVieG3PsU4QIwZMYr68sVtW558ID6jTuHZkt6ZCMaApbrEALw_wcB"
"I got the gator SRX soft roll up for $268 including tax. I've had it for a couple years, works well but it does make a flapping noise sometimes in the wind."
"And both gator covers from RealTruck are under $300."
"My dad has a newer Ranger and bought a gator tri-fold. It’s easy to take on and off if you need the full bed."
#3
Diamondback
4.8
(16)
"If you have tool or anything else you don't want stolen then you have to spend big on a Diamond Back."

"Keeps water out and for the most part dust also."
"Bak Revolver X4S. It’s a great Hard Roll-Up cover that doesn’t block all of your back window when you need the bed open. Easy to install and easy to take off."
"I have the BAK Revolver X4ts. Having the T-slot rails is a game changer for being able to use a rack or a carrier."
"I've had both Bak revolver X4s and the Rev hard rolling tonneau cover on different trucks. Very pleased with the looks and the quality."
"Agreed, the X4s is amazing."

Extang
4.6
(7)
"Mine is 8 years old going strong and not very faded."
"Trifecta since 2019 hasn't faded."
"I love my Extang Trifecta soft cover. It clamps directly to your bed rails so no extra hardware that has to be mounted first."
"Soft cover that could be rolled up, but was hinged like a hard cover, and you could lift the whole thing off without taking it off the frame. Super versatile, never leaked, and was not expensive."
"I just bought an extang 2.0 used from facebook which wad like new for $200. I thought it was a great deal and I am liking it."
"Can't beat the simplicity of the Extang Solid Fold. Tooless install/uninstall. No rails."

"It IS waterproof."
"Has worked great for 22 years."
"Undercover SE - water is no problem, one person removal (kinda) but it makes it more of a trunk."
#14
Leer
4.6
(5)
"Been super reliable, strong, I use it all the time."
"Leer. No need to have water drainage holes and very water tight. Even in the car wash."
"Bed is dry after carwash."

Access
4.3

#19
EV Sportsline
4.0
(3)
"I bought the EV Sportsline roll up one. Was about $650. It is almost waterproof. I like how easy it is to retract and i don't need to store it anywhere."
"Also run this one and really like it. I picked up their D-ring addons for some extra tie-off points. Really great value."
"I also got this one, and so far so good. I didn't want to wait on the OEM manual one and I didn't want to sacrifice gear tunnel storage space for it."
#20
Worksport
4.0
(3)
"Check out worksport. Installs in 10 mins and you can take it off in 2 minutes."
"It has worked well."
"So far it hasn't been bad but if I had to nitpick the release mechanism is further back due to the lack of rail system but it is the easiest to put on"

Auto Saver
