Illinois | There are 3 main choices, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. 1 Custom order hard one-piece fiberglass bed cover. Cost around $1,500. 3-4 weeks order time for custom paint to match your truck. Main advantages are they are pretty indestructible, look good, and usually don't leak water into the bed. Disadvantages are cost, they can be in the way when hauling tall items in the bed, and the time to receive the order. The other two choices have more in common. A hard flip-over cover, cost is $1,000 or more, it can be folded to haul big items, truck shops usually have them in stock. The third choice is a soft canvas style. Cost is $300-$400 easy to install, again most truck places carry them in stock, easy to roll up to haul large items, security can be a concern since a person with a sharp object can easily cut the canvas and access the items in the truck bed. Our experience with the different types are, that the flip-over/ roll up covers tend to leak water into the truck bed at times, while the fiberglass hard cover is more like a permanent fixture the doesn't leak water and has a higher level of security. | |
