 Pickup Truck Bed Covers

Am considering do I want a bed cover or a tool box. Tool boxes have had and used for years but never a bed cover.

I do not want to haul much, battery jumper cables and a tow strap or chain. Will install box on trailers for tie down straps and the receiver hitch for that trailer to prevent hauling extra weight when not needed.

The bed covers are in wide variety of styles and materials. At least here have been quoted over $2,000 for a roll up driven by electric motor which I would not even consider that drive system. No remote in hand can not open nor close.

Those who have one what are your thoughts, experiences and recommendations. I do not use any in bed hitch for towing. Will haul items the top needs to be open if not removed but not real often. I do like the idea of the covered bed to keep my trash in and others out. Same for my tools and such.

Is there a brand you recommend buying and one your recommend running from?

Thanks,,,kt Oh, snow not an issue for me very often at all.

 Pickup Truck Bed Covers

woodie sorry for your troubles there. An hour drive might be a good investment. Eye to eye works much better than ear to phone does some times.

I ended up without tool box or bed cover. Instead I went with tool boxes on my two trailers I use for any hauling. I have had that pickup about a year and think have put near 4,000 miles on it. Do enjoy it and it is a very good workhorse. About a month back had to have major front end brake work at just over 100,000 miles. I got tickled with it about three months back, went to buy some landscape rock and asked them for two yards and said it will not take the weight. Okay give me one yard, when they put that in the bed it did not hardly lower the rear end. Said to me sir did not mean to hurt your feelings, did not realize it had that capacity. Drove and ran with what was suppose to be two yards much better than empty. Which brings me to I doubt the bucket on their front end loader really holds a yard.
