If you can swing it, I would get a roll up or a cover that folds all the way up, like the Bakflip. There is not a whole lot of truck bed as is and you will find that you utilize every inch.
Nice, keep me posted on how the install goes and how the quality is!
I just purchased this one off ebay. You can do the make an offer and get it for around $350ish, saw the same one on Amazon that you reference and checked... the one on Amazon didn't say free returns and the one on ebay said they accept returns for 30 days but you have to pay return shipping. I figured if I was going to have to pay for shipping either way might as well get the one that was $70 less.
Well it came in and I installed it today in about 10-15 minutes. It seems fine for what I will use it for since I might put stuff back there a couple of times a month.
Thanks for the info, I'm planning on checking it out after some rains/car washes and see where I think I need to add a little help.
The cover looks great. When I look at the photos on eBay it shows the underside of the first panel by the tailgate as having 8 footpads while the underside of the other panels are smooth. Is that what yours is like? It’s the only hard cover I saw with those.Well it came in and I installed it today in about 10-15 minutes.

It came with some extra hardware for the latches.... that worries me a bit as the tailgate latches did seem a bit cheapy but at least they had the forethought to include them. Front latches against the cab seemed really good.
I could see a light at the front corners after installation so at some point I will probably try to add more weather stripping at some point if I notice excessive water getting in.
The section closest to the cab raises a bit.... I assume that is by design to channel water away from the cab.
I don't have a lot of experience with this type of cover. The last truck I had with a cover was a 2009 F150 and it was the solid fiberglass type that raised. All in all it seems fine to me especially given that it was 1/3 the price. Here are some pictures also
Sorry been on vacation. I remember thinking that was weird in the picture. But yes it does have them, they seem to just be some kind of cushion pads.... as far as I can tell they don't do anything when it's 'closed'. My guess is it's supposed to be some kind of protection when the cover is folded up on top of the other panel.
