I had an Undercover classic one piece on my truck for the life of the truck (12 years). Never had a problem.

I know I spoke highly of the Peragon in the past. I still like the concept, but it does have cons:
1. Gets hot as $@#* so have some gloves handy
2. If it ain't within an 1/8" of where it should be you'll cuss it on open and close.

Hindsight, I would have gotten something else. Probably even the bakflip. I just don't like how that blocks the rear window when up.

I’ve got a Roll-n-Lock on my F-150. Lockable, sturdy, and doesn’t block the rear window when retracted for “almost” full bed usage. But it’s noisy with the windows down.

BakFlip MX4 on my current F-150. For versatility it's pretty tough to beat. Watch AutoAnything for their sales. I got mine for a significant discount.

I just put a TonneauPro Hardcover back flip on my Colorado. That thing installed in about twenty minutes and I can detect no leaks. I found one on Amazon for less than five bills which is a great deal for a hard cover. I like it a lot.

In two of my previous pickup trucks, I used an Undercover Classic. Both were perfect.

I just bought my fourth Tundra this past week. Unfortunately, Undercover no longer makes the Classic model to fit the Tundra, so I went with the Undercover Elite model.

For the first time, I am having it shipped to my house so that I can install it myself. I watched the installation video and it looks ridiculously easy.

This model also has the feature where you can use your truck key to lock/unlock it, eliminating the need for yet another key on my keyring.

I have a TruXedo Edge on my Canyon. Very happy with it and no issues.

Overall, there have been a lot of great suggestions posted.

As long as you don't go cheap with some no-name cover, you should be good to go.

I have the BakFlip, and it is quite water resistant. A small amount of water gets in at the corners of the real seal, but that is it. I purchased the F1 model, but it is heavy. Wish I bought the MX-4 model.

I didn't like how the black alloy tonneaus like the Bakflip got so hot, you really couldn't touch them. A lot of that heat has to end up inside the bed.

My truck came with a Jeraco painted fiberglass tonneau. I like the look, love the fact it stays very cool inside the bed, but it's hard to carry tall stuff.
