[QUOTE="BroncoBoy7914, post: 1825289, member: 60800"] Howdy y'all, I spent some time researching bed covers in depth, and ultimately landed on the American Roll Cover by Truck Covers USA. I've never had a cover on my past trucks, so this was something a bit new to me. I was pretty surprised at how many damn options there are and that 95% are made by the same parent company. While I made a large spreadsheet w the pros and cons, I wanted to make a quick write up showing the cover installed and the reasons I went with this cover. I also would want to make a big recommendation on anyone that does indeed to purchase this cover. [B][U]Pros:[/U][/B] -Toughest Retractable Bed cover on the market. I eventually settled between the RetraxProXR and this cover. This cover is simply higher quality in components and looks. I went with the HD Yakima Rails, where Yakima says this cover is the only cover that can truly handle their max weight. I realize there are heavier duty bed covers out there like the Diamond Back and Renegade, but those bed covers simply wouldn't work with how I use my truck. Plus, those covers aren't as low pro as this setup is, which I personally wanted to retain. -Hardest Retractable Cover to Break into, by far! -Best Looking Cover: The smaller, retractable metal pieces look so much cleaner than the wider, Retrax style pieces. -Fastest cover to get into and be fully open in seconds. The biggest issue I had w most retractable covers, is that they require you to come to the side of the truck to open. Even worse, you then have to walk back to that side to close.
