Just purchased a 2024 Tundra TRD Pro. Looking for a bed cover. Any recommendations?

First off, I don’t usually use the bed of my truck for carrying much, except for groceries, luggage, etc. Nothing of a heavy duty nature. Having a cover that is good at keeping the bed dry is a must have. I don’t really need anything that remote retracts, as I likely won’t be sliding it back that often and that feature is an added expense.
I do like the functionality of the Retrax pro XR with the ability to mount attachments to the frame.
I am also considering a pop up cover but I don’t really care for the profile look of these, as they appear to sit up higher on the bed. I would guess that these are better at keeping the bed free from water, as they don’t have as many areas where water can seep through.
For those who have trucks with bed covers, what do you have and what are the pro’s and con’s of what you have? Also, If you had to do something else, with money as no obstacle, what would you do differently?

The con is a cover turns your bed into a trunk and you might as well have got an SUV

I recently just put one on my truck. I had never wanted one because I felt I wouldn't be able to just "throw something in the bed". I'm glad I got it though. It's super easy to still throw stuff back there and not worry about it getting wet. I have a Tyger tonneau from Amazon. I went cheap because I didn't know if I would like it or not. Not sure how long it will last but I like it so far.

Lomax tri fold. Super easy to just take it out when you need your truck to be a truck and keeps your stuff dry when it’s there. Can fold open without blocking your back window as well.

I don’t have one on my truck. Think it would be nice at times but more times than not I have too much stuff in it.
If I were to get one I’d look hard at the Diamondback.

Tyger bed cover off Amazon. IMO it has all the functionality of a retrax/back flip cover, but rolls up and takes no space away when you need the bed. Only con I can find is you can’t stand on it, but I have no need to.

I've had the roll up style on a 5.5' foot bed and with the amount you lose for the canister it isn't worth it to me. On my current truck I have the MX4 and I much prefer it.

I have the Toyota tonneau cover and it works for my needs. I do use mine as a truck, so sometimes u have to remove it completely since it doesn't flip up at the back, which makes it a bit of a pain to deal with.

Has anyone tried the Rough Country flip covers? They seem to be priced cheaper than other brands.

depending on location, I may can help you a little...

Moved from a Tahoe to a pick up in 2010, I do a lot of traveling from Florida back to Georgia with my wife and son and needed the dry storage so I went with the bed cover and its been great. Other than towing, I honestly dont use the truck as a truck much. More of a daily drier and two vehicle for my boat.
I bought the Roll n Lock from the dealer where I got my truck, friends dealership, and it has been fine now for 3years. I get a few drips of water around one of the edges when it pours but not enough to worry about. Easy to close it and I have not had a single issue with it

I looked at the Bakflip mx4. It’s really nice . I wasn’t sure I wanted to drop that $$ on something I wasn’t sure I’d like. I got a Tyga roll up one off Amazon a year ago for less than 200 and it’s been fine. I may upgrade one day. It don’t see the need currently. I don’t store stuff in the bed so security isn’t an issue for me. It’s nice having a cover on a road trip or going back home for a hunt . Keeps everything out of the cab. I’ve had no leak issues yet. I have a 2017 Tundra Limited.
