I don't think too many people on here have tonneua covers. Most actually have 4Runners. It just depends on whether you want a snap-on type or what. Try doing a search, there may be some old posts regarding them. Later!

I have the Extang Full-Tilt tonneau cover and I love it, it makes accessing the bed really easy, and it seals very well, even when it is covered in mud and dirt. You can remove it on the frame (which is great in the winter) or unsnap it and roll it up. I wheel my truck all the time and the tonneau has taken its share of abuse and has held up really well. The install was easy, I did it by myself in about 1 hour. I have since done two others because people liked mine so much that they got one of their own.

Check it out here:

Jimbena, what type of truck do you have and what type of tonneau you looking for? Also, why is your homepage set to a ford forum?!?!

I had the Extang on my 97 Tacome for over 4 years with no problems. Even when driven for hours on the highway in heavy rain everything stayed dry in the bed. When driven a few hundred miles on logging roads in Maine my gear never got dusty. I actually sold it for $50 when I got my Runner and I believe the person is still using it. The only gripe I have is that they are a pain to use in the winter. Mine was the snap kind and if I removed it in cold weather it was almosgt impossible to get back on. If you don't haul tall stuff a lot you could consider one of the new shock ones that actually lift up as one piece, those look pretty cool.
