Tonneau cover
Just got a new GMC Sierra. Looking for a tonneau cover. Main issue is water protection for luggage etc on trips. Any suggestions? So many options online.....

Thanks for any help

Personally, I would go with a Weathertech. I like their products. Their bed cover is pretty awesome as well.

I'm seeing more and more of the Bakflip covers on new trucks.

Was going to put one on my F150 before we got rid of it.

Paragon was another I was looking into. Along with the Pace Edwards Switchblade.

Truxcedo are some of the best.
Mine is the LoPro model but plenty of other configurations depending on your requirements.

Check on Amazon for a TYGER soft 3 fold tonneau cover. I just installed one on my Chevy Colorado.

I've had a BakFlip on my Tundra since new. Zero complaints.

I have an Undercover SE, and I love it! Uses the trucks key to lock too.

I have a pace Edwards on my truck and cant give it away, it rolls up like a roll top desk but only goes back 3/4 of the way and there is a box that limits your pick up beds length, it leaks. I will never own another one.

I've got a LUND Genesis Elite soft roll up on my truck, it seems to keep the weather out just fine.

Truxedo LoPro. Put them on every truck and never had any issues.

I bought that one a couple months ago for my Tacoma. Great quality for the money and the latches make it really easy to to roll up the cover when I need to haul stuff that won't fit underneath.

I have a Line-X branded version of the Bakflip. Keeps everything dry and secure. Very happy so far. When I've needed to put it up it's a breeze too.

I have a TYGER trifold on my RAM and its been great through regular snow, a cyclone bomb blizzard and all the rain the pacific northwest can throw at you. Great cover for a great price, I highly recommend it. I like the trifold as I had a different brand rollup vinyl deal on my last truck and once the velro went, it was all over. Theres ups and downs and do your research of course but TYGER will easily get my money again when I'm back in the market.

I have a tri fold cover on my titan. I really like it. You can fold it up and still use the full bed. Its not cheap. Mine was 1k.

I have purchased and used 3 Extang Trifecta 2.0 covers on the several trucks that I have owned. If you install them correctly and use an extra rubber gasket on the front of the cab (depending on truck) it will work fine. I have traveled from NJ to Missouri, SC, AL, TN, NC and back and have never had an issue. They have weathered some serious storms as well.

Good luck


Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.

My dad's Switchblade leaked a bit at the corners at the tailgate, but was pretty slight, and resolved with some trimmed/shaped foam inserts.
His was on an 09 short bed 3/4 ton Chevrolet. No issues with retraction either, rolled fully into the box which only took up about 8-10in of space at the front & about 10in depth.

I could see it being an issue on a compact truck like a Tacoma/Colorado though.

I've had a Bakflip since my 08 Ridgeline was new and I'd buy it again.

I have a BAKFlip MX4 on my Frontier. I'm extremely happy with it, and like that it folds to give full bed access. Also, like that it's rated for 100 lbs more than the lower priced model.

I had a Paragon on my Silverado and will never have a Paragon again. It doesn't fold out of the way to give full bed access so you have to remove it to haul something large. I loaned the Silverado to a buddy who tied a load off to the support structure that hangs into the bed and had to straighten it back out. The worst part was I kept it locked and some thugs smashed through the flimsy aluminum in a hotel parking lot in Beaumont (only thing in the bed was air).

Great suggestions! I did a search too on the forums as suggested. Definitely a lot of brands out there!
