Just installed this one this week on my Tundra. So far so good. Paid $850 and had it delivered the next day.

Retrax powertrax is probably the best but they're about $2000-2500. They have a key fob and roll and unroll at the push of a button.

I don't think it is necessarily "the best" cover, but I have a flip bak g2. I do feel it is among the best values out there.

I have a soft roll up tonneau on my 150 by truxedo it works great and rolls up when not needed and doesn't obstruct any space in the bed. Perfect for what I need.

I got it for $299 installed.

I have an extang w/all the snaps on my 09 Silverado and have had that one since '10 or '11. It's been off and one the truck and has held up nice. But I went with very inexpensive tyger soft tri-fold on my 16 Colorado. Very satisfied and it even came with a bag for storage when it's off the truck.

Evidently two others don't like the Undercover ultra flex for some reason. The reviews were pretty good. It has a 5 yr warranty and has a 400lb rated top. Like I said, I've had it less than a week, but I'm pleased so far.

I have a Rugged Cover on my f250 and i like it. It comes off really easily and gives a pretty good seal.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes I would like it to be pretty much water tight. I like the looks of the undercover ultra flex. Seems like a good deal too with lights included and a storage bag included. Seems like an easy installation also.

Installation was easy. The lights are cheap battery operated stick on you could pickup from amazon for super cheap so don't expect much, but they work and serve their purpose. It's not completely water tight, you'll always have leaks near tailgate and possibly near cab. I don't think there is a way around that even the solid ones can't fix that.

I am trying to pick one out for my '17 Colorado and can't decide. Want something as waterproof as possible so I can put luggage in for road trips without worry of water

I have a roll and lock type, different name brand, on my F-150. It is convenient, but not water tight. It was like $1400. I think the Flip Back type do a better job of keeping it the bed water free than I have with my roll back. I also like the price tag and the sturdiness of the Flip Back.

Having had the roll back, I will get the flip back next time.
