I need a way to get my clubs to to the club. And be able to have secure storage of a bunch of other stuff while keeping all of my truck seating available. Didn't realize I'd be giving up so much storage space going from a suv to a truck.

Brands?
Tri fold, bi fold, no fold?
TIA

But you really didn't.

You can get a decent tonneau cover for around $200.

Mine is a roll up.

I put groceries back there, throw grass when I cut my yard, roll it up and buy wood, and whatever else I need.

I usually keep my clubs in my rear seats because no one else rides in my truck.

* Don't keep your cover rolled up in a shady or country area. When I lock my tailgate, it can't be stolen, but dad had his stolen when we went kyaking and some redneck stopped and took his

That's not a bad price...

BFG2 was 800, and a Rolling Lock is 1500...

That's what I have too. It's awesome. Locks into the tailgate, Folds all the way to the back window and is basically water proof. My clubs stay in the bed of my truck.

I have an Extang. It's not for security, it's a soft cover, but I like that I can take it completely off and put it back on in about a minute.

You have a nice truck.

My dad has an old heavy fiberglass cover on his bed, it’s secure but doesn’t remove easily so he cannot haul anything big. Your cover actually looks good and useful.

another vote for the mx4. Basically a newer G2 that you don't have to open the cover to close the tailgate.

I went with the RetraxONE MX retractable and have been happy with it.

I hated my cover. Had a bakflip g2. I’m going camper top next time. Legit old man status.
