Tonneau cover
I'm looking to get a tonneau cover but none of them seem to be what I want. The hard covers won't work, I haul a wheeler at times so I need to have an open bed, rolling up the soft covers seems to be a hassle, but maybe it's not that bad.
Does anyone offer a folding cover that folds the long way, maybe 4 panels that fold to the sides.
I've never had a cover, maybe the Access or Extang are easy to use. Is it easy to get them tight again after they have been rolled up?

Grizz,
From my own searches I came across 2 companies with folding hard covers. Fold-a-cover and Advance Covers (distributed by kcovers). They look to be very similar. I chose an Advance Cover for my 04 Screw and know a little more about these covers.
In general, the advance cover comes in 2 types---a 4-panel and 2-panel model---both of which fold perpendicular to/across the truck bed (not sideways like you had suggested in your post). At the time that I ordered mine, only the 2-panel model fit our 04 f150s, and this is what I got. I don't know if the 4-panel model will be offered for our trucks or not.
I have been very pleased with my advance cover since I got it. It is aluminum and well built. I have not seen any water leaks. It is lockable for security. It has a nice low profile and looks great. Best of all, I can very easily remove the whole cover by myself in a matter of minutes and presto.....I have my entire truck bed back at my disposal. I love it!
Hope this helps you out.

I ordered mine from kcovers.com but when it arrived, it had an Advance Cover logo on it. Funny thing is, they told me I could only get it in 4 panel, which is what I wanted anyway...for '04 F-150 (new style) 6.5' bed. Not installed yet because I don't have my truck yet.
