Tonneau covers and bed liners...

[Stephen06GT]

Hello TMC,

As some of you may have read I purchased a new truck last week and now I want to add a tonneau cover and bed liner. To all you truck owners what are your recommendations?

Thanks
Stephen

Spray in liner (Line-X/Rhino/etc) and a locking hard tri-fold cover (BakFlip and Extang both make these) would be my recommendation.

Spray in liner for sure.
As for covers, have owned a few and keep coming back to Extang Trifecta. Personal choice, soft tri fold gives me the most versatility.

I have a Trifold cover on mine and wouldn't get anything else. The roll up style or soft style with a frame are dog turds whereas the trifold still looks the same after 3+ years of use. As far as a bed liner is concerned, I have had both and I would opt for a plastic bed liner over sprayed on. Why? The spray on although durable is textured (rough) so if you think you can place something in there that you don't want scratched think again. I ended up putting a 5.5' section of rubber/vinyl runner in there just so I could slide things in/out with ease and without fear of scratching any items.

When I bought my F150 in 2012, I got the Line-X spray bedliner and also the Extang tri-fold hard cover. Still in great shape.

Second the BakFlip

Third vote for Bakflip. I got the one with the vinyl finish cover, and still looks great after 4 years now.
Wasn’t cheap, but it has been worth it.

I had a fibreglass one piece solid Leer on my F150. Heavy as f*, could not easily remove it if needed.
Then I had a one piece solid Undercover on my Mazda. Better. At least I could remove it myself.
But the 4 piece folding Bakflip is my favourite by far. Easily folds up for full bead access. Or can easily be removed entirely if needed.

I have a Bedrug in my Ram. Love it

I would go with a spray in bed liner. The plastic liners can scratch the box paint and cause a place to eventually rust.

I will be going with a spray in lner, just trying to decide on Line-X, Rhino, or ???. As far as the tonneau, most likely hard tri-fold but not sure which one, but a flush mount style is preferable.

Can’t go wrong with the brand of liner. It’s more on it being prepped and sprayed properly. Have used a couple aftermarket spray liners and an OEM and I prefer the after market As they seem to be more rubber which helps stop things from sliding around.

I visited the local Line-X dealer in Bolton today. The took me out back and showed me a new Dodge, sorry Ram, they had just finished. Very impressed by their work. Cost, $621.00 all in. After seeing the Line-X and comparing it to all the bed liners, mats and rugs I saw on the interweb, I think Line-X will be my choice. They also sell tonneau covers and had scaled down versions of eight different ones. I like the flush mount, hard folding the most. Now to decide on the brand.

Stephen, just FYI we can get most brands of aftermarket tonneaus through Keystone Auto … if you want to compare pricing let me know which ones you're looking at.

[Stephen06GT]

After doing some additional research, I'm now looking at the Undercover UltraFlex tri-fold hard tonneau. Any of you TMCers running this brand? If so, what are your thoughts?

[CDNfyrfytr]

Sorry, no experience with that one. I have a BakFlip MX4 and have no issues with it. I would recommend it for your truck.
