There’s so many choices, brands, types, etc.

I know I don’t want the hard lift type as that will limit what I can put in the bed but not sure beyond that. Care to share your experiences and suggestions?

Have the undercover flex. Has been good to me. Buddy had an minor issue with his, they immediately sent him a totally new cover free of charge.

I just installed a bakflip mx4 on my Tacoma. Went this route because of the low profile and short bed. I would have got a retractable cover if the canister wasn't too big.

Have an undercover flex II on my tundra. Love it. Easy to install and easy to use. Does a good job keeping out water and very low profile.

I will never buy anything but Bakflip. Had one on my previous truck and one on my current truck. Absolutely no water and can use the full bed.

I have an extang trifecta I think it's called. Works for me. Not a secure cover, but easy to take on and off if needed.

This is the ultimate in truck bed covers. you can haul a four wheeler on top of the cover, it is bulletproof from an access standpoint, and keeps water out of the bed. A couple of buddies have these already and I will have one on my next truck for sure.

I have a backflip mx4 and have been disappointed. It leaks in a couple of spots in the front and back of the bed, nothing terrible, but not bone dry. One of the attachments for the rod to stand the cover up broke, and two of the stick-on pads for when you fold up the cover came off. Not what I'd expect for almost 1k and 2 years old.

That said, in theory I love the functionality of the roll/fold up. I'd never have a truck without something like it.

So, loved the Retrax powertrax, but cost and canister space steered me to the Bakflip MX4...mostly good reviews for it, with some unhappy, like the post above. It supposed to be here Thursday. After I have it a few months, I will report back! Thanks for all the suggestions/reviews.

You can't go wrong with the Bakflip VPs.

I have a retrax pro mx and it has been great for two years. Keeps everything mostly dry, hard rain will get some water around the edges. Sunny day, it gets really hot to unlock and pull or push. I knew the roll up canister took up bed room, but for large stuff I just hook up my utility trailer for that anyway. I'd recommend for sure. I love being able to lock my stuff up and go inside a store or restaurant and not worrying about it.

I needed something that I could put some weight on so I went with the Diamondback on my Tacoma.

Only issue I'm having is getting my dometic fridge and slider to fit underneath the center support. Fits fine with out the slider but the fridge move around if there isn't a bunch of stuff in the bed to hold it in place.

I have had a undercover flip on my 2011 Silverado since right after I bought it brand new. 8 years old and still going strong.
