kt sorry i havent gotten around till now (life happens) to respond to this topic. I opted to go with a tonneau cover vs a shell on my last truck , sure it was nice but wasn't tall enough for hauling equipment , mowers, snowblower, etc to shop for repairs. I too looked at the fancy rollup even without the electric option it was very close to $2K. I chose a hard panel vs the 'cloth' types. as in Mich winters those things shrink in the cold once you remove them-need heated garage to snap them back in. Brand I went with was Extang Hard panel Tri fold Tonno. front panel has lock and if your tailgate has a lock . nice and secure. Part that sold me was the supposed "Bolt one key lock"(it takes your ignition key and "progrms" cover lock ) so you only need one key. Great idea . I really realy liked the one key ... well after the weather seal/gasket on the lock popped out short of a year after i got it- i took it back to dealer and after several trips they got a 'replacement lock assembly' and handed me a new key- I was like what the -----! now i have two keys ?!?. I contacted manfacturer and explained my udder displeasure and they keep 'assuring me the "enginering dept" is trying to work a fix.. I keep contacting them every 3-4 months and they say another 6months. I'm tempted to drive up to their office and see if I cant get passed the "phone call' mess. (just an hours drive for me). For the $1K I spend on the cover I think I should get better treatment, I supposedly have a lifetime warranty for defects etc etc. but now going nearly 2 years I think they should have gotten the bug worked out.. sorry for the long rant
