Bed accessories for '16 Sierra 1500 short box

Hey guys I just bought a 2016 Sierra 1500 crew 4wd All Terrain with a short bed. I want to accessorize and get a tonneau cover that will allow me to haul a quad in the bed without much effort to do so but also keep things fairly secure.

Any styles and brands I should look into? So far the fold option looks best but blocks the rear window view.

I’m also looking at the AMP bed extenders and the add on tie down anchors... anything I’m forgetting?

I do not have a 5th wheel, but do use a weight distribution when hauling my TT (rarely), mostly tow ATV and sled trailers.

thanks,
Jim

    thanks guys, does the roll up versions roll up small and far enough up and out of the way to be able to pull a quad all the way in to the front of the box touching?

    I have googled it and looked into a few articles but the options are huge and somewhat clouded for what I'm looking to do.

    I know I will need to see some in person and how they operate.
    Might go this Saturday to the 4x4x truck store.

    I have an Access Lorado roll up tonneau. It has a "locking" mechanism on it so it can't be easily opened without opening the tailgate. Rolls up nice and out of the way.
