Looking to buy a Tonneau Cover for my Tundra. The only experience I have with them is the vinyl roll up style. I think this time I want to go with a more rigid cover, but not the solid fiberglass style. Looking for something that would easily give me access to the entire bed if needed. I've seen a few on the market and was wondering if any of you have any experience with either of these, or another that you would recommend. Right now I'm leaning towards the Rollbak G2. I like the fold up design of the Peragon, but it seems like it may be a little less sturdy.

This is what I have and I love it. It adds so much to the truck. I can put heavy items on top to add space. I strap my coolers down up there. I have even thrown deer up there to save the bed for gear. Made by Diamondback truck covers.
I had the old vinyl kind and what a pain when it was cold out. I got a trifecta. It's vinyl but folds up by three. I like it real well.

I got an Extang Solidfold and like it. Can take the whole thing off in 60 seconds if I need to. Keeps bed dry except when going through carwash it gets a little water in.
Apology for resurrecting this old thread. Currently looking at tonneau covers (http://4wheelonline.com/tonneau-covers.222468) available but can't decide which are good ones that lasts. I sometimes haul tall stuffs so I need the extra space so looking at either a tri-fold or roll up. Or anyone got those retractable cover? TIA

I had both a cap, and a Lid. But I like to access the entire bed. The vinyl roll up is the only one I prefer.
I have the tri fold hard cover and love it. I can remove by myself in less than a minute.
I have a Roll N Lock on my Tundra and absolutely love it. I can keep decoys, baseballs, guns, etc... all locked up and protected. And if you lock the tailgate it is virtually impossible to get into.
It also keeps pretty much everything relatively dry even in a really hard rain...
I switched from a rollup to a BakFlip F1...and now several of my friends have done the same.

I just bought a BAK Revolver, it's a vinyl covered aluminum roll up. It lets you see out the rear window when it's rolled all the way up and allows full use of your truck bed. So far no complaints.
I want to put one on my 2500 duramax , but i need easy access to my gooseneck ball and to fill up my drag up tank. sounds like a roll up or the revolver would be the best option,, any body have this set-up??
I talked to a lady at the gas station yesterday. She had one that folded in sections and had a great seal around the edges...really easy to open and close.
I adapted a Bak Roll X Bed Cover for my tundra with a tool box.

Looks a good choice. Have it on during a heavy rain?
It's not water tight but there has not been much leakage. None of the covers that I've looked at were actually water tight. This was more for security when traveling than anything.
Had a cap on my old truck..when I traded it in for a new f-150 I decided on the Bakflip....Love it

Another Vote here for the BakFlip.. I love mine on my Tacoma .. easy access to the entire Bed if you need it.. and pretty dang solid and mostly waterproof (I say mostly) because in a hard rain I still get a tiny bit of water in the bed, but not a lot.. Also I bought a Pop and Lock for my Tailgate and wired it into my passenger side door unlock and contolled by my keyfob so it will lock the entire bed up.. https://www.popandlock.net/
I have the solid, one piece Undercover for my full size. Takes two people to put on or take off, though that process only takes a minute or two. While it is essentially waterproof (only water that gets in comes around the tailgate), and very secure with dual locks, in hindsight I'd rather go with the aluminum fold up or retractable like BAK - this one piece Undercover wasn't any cheaper than the roll up / fold up covers. Anytime I need to haul something I need someone to help me take this thing off and put it back on. Its just not that user friendly. :z-twocents:
Look at the G4 Elite from Fold-a-cover. This is the best one I have found. Went through several before I found this one.
Thank you people! Gonna let the wifey check G2 or Undercover flex and let her decide.
I have a soft tonneau and it's as close to water tight as I have ever seen. It doesn't have the protection of a hard cover but it does lock and it keeps the curious away. It is the soft tonneau cover (https://mostplusauto.com/collections/soft-tonneau-cover) and it ran my under $200.

That's what I had on my tundra and I liked it.
Backflip Max4. Looks like the day I installed it in 2017. Solid construction, tight seal. Very happy with it. (https://i.ibb.co/MBH2yV9/2482-D1-E5-E5-EC-4934-B11-D-0-CE9-F95-B2-F70.jpg)
I recently bought an Aluminum Bakflip MX4 for my 2022 F-150. I had a vinyl rollup on my 2003 Tacoma that would last about 7 to 10 years (fade and eventually tear, 3 replacements over 22 years). So far, I'm loving the Looks, Much Better Security (with the lockable tailgate and flush fit), 100% Bed access and 400 lb support weight limit.
Each of us have to ask ourselves, what are we willing to pay, how much security do we want, looks, warranty and how much bed will we lose when we have it installed.
I have only had the MX4 on the F-150 for a few months but it is a MAJOR upgrade to the vinyl in many areas. It is pricy IMO but so far, the value, looks and warranty are much better than vinyl and I have FULL access to the entire bed without removing the cover. Good Luck with your search. Plenty of Choices.
Sorry just realized this post was SOOOOOO old!
