Very Nice looks sharp!!! x2

So I know if they make a hard cover they have to make a soft one!!

I myself need a soft cover because many time I will need the bed space open.
But want something that is secure for vacations and such.
To keep our crap safe and dry...

It's funny sometimes having a truck. I have this huge trunk and can't use it as one... LOL

Miss my Mustang when it comes to taking trips...

Does your cover come off pretty quick/easy??

I have the Extang Tuff Tonno soft cover. Honestly, it was on the truck when I bought it used, and I haven't taken it off yet, but it seems like it would be pretty easy to handle.

I like the look of it. The peel-able edges make it look really smooth, and I like how the black cover looks with my silver truck. The bows can be set at 2 different heights...raised up for drain-off or flat for better looks (this is what they say...i like the raised up look myself).

I'll try to post a pic tomorrow.

For something safe and dry for vacations I would recommend staying away from the soft covers. There is no security in them at all, if a thief wants whats in the bed they will just cut it not try and open it. The best for you woud be an Undercover or a aluminum panel folding cover they will give you all the safety and security you want with ease of removal. Extang makes a new one called the Solid Fold which very nice and very easy to completely remove or just fold back toward the cab out of the way.

I hear the same thing from alot of my customers that want a cover they would like to have the painted fiberglass but they want to be able to haul big stuff. I tell them to think about it and how often do they actually need more space than would be provided with a fiberglass cover. It's not like you are buying a new fridge, washer, dryer etc. once or twice a year. And most people have a small trailer or access to a small trailer which is better suited to hauling larger items anyway for ease of loading and unloading.

We've sold several Solid Folds. This new cover must be doing well, some models are backordered already.

Yikes! Well, now you'll have to find some storage room in the "back room".
