I use the FOLD-A-COVER G4 here. It is made of hard plastic and is lockable... It also provides great protection from weather and rain.

The FOLD-A-COVER opens up on both ends so you can have a tool box sitting under it just behind the truck rear window.


It also all folds back and stacks up just behind the rear truck window and this gives enough clearance to use the fifth wheel hookup. Just ensure your 5th wheel hitch does not go higher the sides of the truck bed.




The only draw back I have with mine is when I was hooked up to the fifth wheel it was a challenge to get into my tool box but not impossible. I could gain access by raising all the folds in the vertical position

Above photos from google search

I also keep my 2KW Honda Generator sitting secured in my truck bed. This worked out great support the fifth wheel when I was towing one. When unhooked everything becomes out-of-sight out-of-mind in regard to what is stored in the truck bed.

I have moved my FOLD-A_COVER to two trucks now...

It really works wonders with my POPUP trailer giving me lots more covered storage space. This is where my 2Kw Honda generator lives 24/7

I have had a TonnoPro Tri-Fold on my last two trucks. No rails on the side for the back of your pin box to hang on. Previously had an Access roll up cover with rails on the side. Once on a tight turn backing up the back of the pin box hit the rail. Not only bending the rail but creasing the truck bed. No rail, tri-fold cover from now on.

I have a Tonneau Pro Tri-Fold. It works great.
Youtube link here.

I see brirene beat me to it! The cover can be completely removed if needed in just about 5 minutes and can easily be carried by one person.

I've used a fairly inexpensive Tonno Pro trifold for several years. I like that the area in front of the hitch it's covered while towing. Anytime I'm not towing the bed is fully covered. I think it was only around $250, iirc.

I have a Pace Edwards Full Metal Jackrabbit that stays on all the time. Pull it all the way back when not towing to hide things in the bed. And keeps the hitch out of the weather. Pull it back to near the hitch when towing if I have something in the front of the bed I want to hide.

Have the Extange cover. Only drawback is the tool box behind the cab is a pain to get to when the tonneau cover is in use. Rolls up easily and comes with two sewn in velcro straps the secure it when rolled.

Me too. Rolls up by cab when towing, covers all when not.

I have the BAK Roll-X. I have 4 wing nuts holding it in the front so when I tow I unwing nut it and lay it in the front of the bed. When I unhook the 5th wheel I put it back on this way no one sees my hitch. real easy.
