    Noob Tundra owner here! Excited to get started on some upgrades on my rig and been up late almost every night figuring out how to best to lose my wallet lol! Looking at a hardtop bedcover as my first "major" investment. Any suggestions on which ones to consider and those to stay away from? Cheers and glad to be here!

    You have made a wise decision.

    now post some pictures.

    I tend to mod for reliability and practicality myself. What’s your use case?

    lol, thank you! I'm honestly in the same boat and always looking for those two things in whatever I do. I ended up snagging a 2021 Trail Edition and want to get rid of the storage boxes asap so I can throw on a quality hardtop foldable bedcover :headbang:

    Sell those boxes, someone will want them. The diamond back cover is very popular. I personally have the Toyota branded backflip looking one.

    I also have the underseat storage which is exceptionally useful.

    Also, nice looking truck. Low mileage?

    Thanks! Didn't notice any lift components when I purchased the rig, but I'm assuming it's the factory front rake... or am I naive and something is suspect?:annoyed:

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

    I've been through a couple of foldable hardtop tonneaus and I now have, and highly recommend, the diamondback.

    I think a lot have the bakflip as a hard trifold. Soft tri-folds are good too such as Tyger on Amazon.

    Some prefer soft roll ups, or even hard roll ups such as Retrax or RollnLock.

    Fancier tonneaus could be the Diamondback or the Peragon.

    Whatever floats your boat!

    That's what I was thinking as well :thumbsup:
    So many choices! I'm leaning toward the Diamondback. Can't beat their warranty, plus I figure it'll be the first and last cover I'll ever have to buy! :fingerscrossed:
