I went with this tonneau cover from peragon
https://www.peragon.com/

It looks promising but not sure. Bottom line I was starting to go crazy looking at covers!

Like the idea, but how do you open it if a box slides under the folding area?

Use code STE100 to save $100 on platinum cover.

Looks very nice! I like how quickly you can remove it. What happens if you have a load that’s as tall as the bed?

You can find YouTube videos on how to remove it, it's not too hard.

It folds into the bed like an accordion so it possible something could get stuck. I have tested this out though.

If someone wants to buy this and uses that code I am not sure it it will work on the model I bought. It might only work on the platinum. That said, I like the finish of the xrp vs platinum.

@Carminus how did bending the brackets go for you? I’m worried about torquing them too much and bending the bed rail.

I ended up with the same one. I had no problem bending the braackets, it is easy with 2 sets of pliers. I like mine so far, but AM a touch concerned about not being able to open it if something gets all the way to the front. HOWEVER, Needing to crawl up the short bed is a small price to pay for not having something leaning across my rear window when having to run with the cover open.

Install question, bought the same cover, how much is the end of your cover overlapping the closed tailgate?

What made you folks go with the peragon over the bakflip mx4? Just curious since they seem very similar.

Maybe a 1/2 inch?

I need to ride with mine open often enough (probably more than closed with stuff in it!), and having it folded up covering the rear window, and leaning against the window wasn't something I was comfortable with.

1. Didn’t want the cover to fold up and block the rear window

2. Peragon is almost too easy to remove should I need to have 100% of the bed.

3.In terms of security, I liked that it’s more difficult to pry the cover up, because it slides inside the rail instead of laying on top of it.

I went to the site and noticed 3 different options but they only demonstrate how the cover works. Which model did yall choose?

I chose the middle one(platinum). It comes with 'clamp on' instead of 'drill through the bed' attachment, which was the selling point for me. The extra 300 wasn't worth it to me for their different finish and 2 more years on the warranty.
