Truck bed covers

If anyone else is looking for a bed cover to protect your gear.

 

That's one of the models I looked at when researching a tonneau for the truck. It, and all the other tri-folds and rollup covers had a common, fatal flaw for my purposes: I could get into it with a pocket knife. The vinyl flex points are an easy point of attack. I habitually carry $$ power tools, electronics, and firearms. The guns are the biggest concern obviously. I have a lockable compartment under the back seat for three long guns, but that's it. When we takes the Scouts for .22 2-gun matches I might have a dozen or more rifles and pistols with me. So it's hand guns in the lock-box under the seat, and long guns in the back.
I finally, after weeks of looking and visiting too many "truck" shops, settled on a DiamondBack cover. Aluminum diamond plate with steel hinges, and key locks fore and aft. The tailgate already locked so I was good to go. Fairly high $$, but a a Vet discount helped. Took 30 minutes to install, and can be removed in 5 with a couple 9/16th wrenches. I can also carry my nephews ATV on it.
Fair notice: I have zero stake in the company nor product; it just fit my needs to a "T".

 

I went with a canopy/topper instead. A bit harder to remove, but much more secure and I can sleep in the back if I need to. As mentioned above also keeps things dryer.

 

Bed cover for me, lockable, matches color and makes sure I get a dry load of feed home.
Fiberglass and easy to have extra weight in the back for slick weather.

 

I installed a roll-up cover on my Titan. I wasn't seeking security, but a place to carry stuff that I didn't want getting wet, like suit cases. I also wanted to easily roll it up when I had to haul things like lumber or bags of mulch. The fact that it looks good didn't hurt, either.

 

I prefer the camper shell, more secure and weather compatible and the same aerodynamic benefits.

 

One thing I do like about bed covers is the easy side access, that is unless you put something other than a modest lift on the truck or decided to leave it alone.

 

do you have the kid with the window?
would you mind posting apic of something simlar... every topper i looked at wasnt secure.... the back door over the tail gate was weak. so if you found a good one would love to know what it is. Thank you! @3M-TA3
