Best brand of tonneau covers?

We bought a 2015 Ram Crew Cab yesterday and will go shopping for a HARD tonneau cover in the next few days.

We have had several A.R.E.s and they have been okay but I am wondering if there are better brands available at a comparable price.

I know Leer and Snugtop must be good and we will check them out.

Your experiences, comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

    Nope mine is not leaking either. However I have read that they had an issue with the seals after about two years of use. The company redesigned the seals to help prevent the leaking issue they used to have.

    I haven't had any leaking issue's either, heck maybe I did and it just dried up before I noticed...:B. Irrelevant I guess, OP is looking for a one piece fiberglass cover.

    I have a BAKflip G2. I like that it folds all the way up and secures up against the back window for those times when I want/need full exposure to the box. All of the other hard tonneau's don't offer that feature or at least I haven't seen one. I used to have a Fold-A-Cover and liked that a lot too.


    I have the same cover, I like it alot.


    I have the Bakflip Fibermax, and like it, same design as G2, except it insulates much better.

    Have to say after owning a one piece hard tonneau cover, I ordered the Bacfilp hard cover for my new truck. The old fiberglass cover took three men and a boy to remove and reinstall it. Never again.

    Thanks for all of your responses but I was referring to one-piece, fiberglass type of tonneaus.

    I've had 3 truxedo across different trucks and one other brand. Truxedo by miles.
