Just what I wanted!! It's a Tonno Pro tri-fold. I will post pics and impressions tomorrow when I install it.

Sorry for the shit quality I took them with my phone in a dimly lit garage. You can see it though, it fits nicely. It has one "permanent" set of clamps toward the front of the truck that go right under the lip of the rail cap. The two clamps in the rear snap right open for easy folding.

The initial quality seems very good, the vinyl is very thick and doesn't flap in the wind while driving really at all. You can still open and close with tailgate without popping the top and it seals right against a thick 2 layer rubber seal.

It's wrinkly now because I just took it out of the box and it's very cold out so I'm hoping it will smooth out-my only complaint right now.

Also, I am skeptical about tonneau covers helping gas mileage but my mileage has been pinned on 12.4-12.6 for weeks now and after 15 miles today it's at 12.8!! Too soon to tell but I do a lot of 50+ driving so maybe!!

Nice Bird :)
I saw an episode of Mythbusters once where they drove two F150s - one with the tailgate down - to test the gas mileage. The one with the tailgate up won by a small margin - I think due to the wind pressure created from the box cavity.
