Tonneau Covers ???

Who has what? Soft? Hard? Roll up? Snap? Velcro?

I can't decide what to get. What is the best?

2005 F150 XLT, 6.5 foot bed.

HELP.

I'm looking at soft/roll-up tonneaus. Right now I'm trying to decide between the Access, Truxedo, and the Tekstyle. All come in around the same price, so it's a matter picking which one looks better and works best.

Good luck with your decision.

I have the Leer 700 series. It's a bit expensive (about a grand depending on the dealer) but well worth it in my opinion.

Depends what your intentions are. If you need to remove it regularly don't get a hard cover. Very awkward to remove according to others here.
I just bought a Lund soft cover with snaps from Cabelas.com ($199). So far it's good. Easy to remove and cover rolls up to the cab when needed and is pretty water tight. I'm trying to see if I see any mileage difference. I went with an inexpensive one first to see if I like it. If so, I may go to a retractable one later. Good luck...

I have the Extang Tuff Tonneau soft cover. It uses kind of a "tounge and groove" attachment system that works fine, last a long time! Cheap too, about $200 bucks total if I recall.

I went with the soft cover because it rolls up / remves in a matter of seconds if you need to use the full truck bed. Obviously, it will only keep an honest man out of your stuff. If security is your prime concern, go with a lockable hard cover.

i've got the extang RT. it's a roll up that has velcro on the sides and is VERY low profile. no leaks, no problems. there are pics of my truck in the gallery that you can see the cover to get an idea of what it looks like.

I have the UnderCover, about $630 installed. Its a hard top with two locks for security, can be removed in minutes.

I have the Undercover, pretty lightweight, but you need 2 people to move it, It can hold my fat @$$ (200+lbs) and looks good as well. One of the best investments I made so far.

I want to hear more about this cover, I am interested in getting it. What does it look like on a black truck, anyone have any pics?

Try this thread, I know Toddzilla has a black truck and also got the undercover, which looks pretty good.

Access here, priced right, fits tight, great latching system, and gets completely out of the way. Tough to find that combination for the flareside:
