Cool

Sportmaster Slant Side, that's my pick. They're good looking, and the one I had didn't leak. Just depends on the one that you like.

Hard or soft?

If you want a soft cover then I'm impressed by the factory Ford soft tonneau on mine.

Thumbs up

If it's a hard tonneau , I'd go for the A.R.E LS11 fiberglass lid.

They look good and are extremely well fitted ( I have driven through tropical storms with mine and nary a drop of water got into the truck's bed).

ARE also offers other , functional add-ons like sport-wing (with brake light) , in cab lid lock release etc.

I agree with Pickup Man. I have a Sportmaster Slantside, works pretty good.

Take a look at Truck Tec covers, a great cover at a reasonable price $164.00. CarMicdirect.com

They were having an internet blow out sale.

Great customer service as well.

Thumbs up Downey SST!

The few people here that had one had good words to say so i went with one. Fit and finish are excellent! My only compaint is the pillow effect at highway speeds that all soft covers suffer from. Seems a little harsher with the Downey, otherwise I have no complaints. It's very well made!

I also have the Ford soft tonneau cover and love it. It's the best one I have ever owned.

Question

I'm interested in a soft snapless toneau.
I would prefer if the hardware were black.
Any chance the FORD fits the bill?
Other suggestions?

Thumbs up JDF, yes it does

The frame on my Ford snapless and the bows are black. So if that is what you need should work. Mine is a 2000, but don't think they have switched colors.

I have the factory soft tonneau on my '99 and I have no complaints about it. It's outside 24/7 and still looks great when it's not dirty. LOL. As a factory option, the price was right too. I think it was $180 at the time.

JDF,

Just returned (minutes ago) from a 900 miles, round-trip, road trip. Going, I had the Ford tonneau streched over a chair and a large box! I had to remove the three bows and I did put a blanket over the sharp corner . . . but, the cover came back with no sign that it had every been abused!

I must agree with the previous posts . . . great fit, almost water proof, looks good (black hardware), easy on and off . . . !

You get a lot of bang for the buck with the Extang snapless cover!

Bob
