Bed cover question

Hey guys,
Have a 6.5 2024. I am looking for a bed cover and was hoping to see what people have. I do have the 6.5, which seems to throw some of the recommendations I’ve seen out. I want to be able to keep things locked, not use up much of the bed space when folded, keep the and Toyota rails. Rail and snow are pretty minor concerns for me, but I would like it to stay some what dry, however my biggest worry is I really don’t want something loud while traveling. any recommendations?

For a bullet point instead of narrative
-6.5 bed
-keeps the stock rails
-low noise while traveling
-foldable
-when folded, low use of the bed
-lockable, tailgate lock is fine. Just don’t want something that can be removed by a person walking by.
I was leaning towards peragon, but I saw in a post they were loud when traveling. Not sure if that is everyone’s experience. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Diamondback is the way to go. I have their HD cover on my truck and love it. Had one on my Tacoma as well prior to this and it was solid for the 3 years I had that truck. HD doesn’t fold but they do make the switchback if you want the folding capabilities. Never had an issue with noise with a diamondback cover either. You can also check their outlet page and those ones are already made and ship faster and save a little bit of money.

 

DB for the win! They have several models and a new one that sort of folds up. I have the SE version and it works great with my rack and tent.

 

I have the revolver x4s hard roll up and I love it! Not sure if it fits your needs but I highly recommend it

 

I know you said foldable but I really like my retrax pro

 

As others have mentioned, if you’re looking to purchase a cover once and absolutely love it get the Diamondback !!!

 

I have the Armor Flex on my '21, and so far it's been very good to me. Flexible configuration, easy to install, the bedliner texture on top of the panels is nice because they don't scratch when you put crap on topp of the cover... trust me, you will!!!

stock rails retained

*not sure what you meant by low use of the bed when folded* ??

lockable when the tailgate is locked

I live in the PNW so we do get heavy rain, and there is some intrusion at the corners; the channels have drain tubes to keep the bed reasonably dry, but sometimes they don't keep up w/our rain here. Depending on your climate, I'd assume the cover could be sucessful in keeping things dry. None of them are going to be water proof except maybe the Diamondbaks that closer over the bedcaps and wrap the outside of the quarter panels..

 

Probably wasn’t the clearest on use of bed when folded. Basically why the diamond back isn’t on my list. Even the one that golds, uses a lot of the bed still when fully open.

 

How’s the noise? Does it keep the stock rails? This one wasnt in my radar till now?

 

I was about to buy one until I researched it on here. Now I think it’s off the list. One of the members here complained about the road noise when it was closed. That’s a no go for me.

 

No noise that I’m aware of, I assume your talking about the rails on the inside of the bed? They just lower them a little bit.
