    Need to purchase a decent bed cover for my 6.5 bed that won’t bust the bank and will leak the least.
    What do you recommend?

    TonnoPro low pro tonneau cover. I had one for my 2015 Crewmax and plan to order another one for my 2019. They are inexpensive and get the job done.

    My Truxedo Lo Pro Rollup cover was inexpensive and doesn't leak. Also has a lifetime warranty.

    What's your budget? There are a ton of options. I have a Peragon (just got it installed so can't really give an experienced review), which you can get for like $800, and as of a few days ago they had their platinum kit (or whatever it's called) that includes all the add-ons and the no-drill kit for no extra charge, which is usually $200 more. I know that's not "cheap," but compared to some of the other covers it can be as much as 50% less. There are so many options out there that not breaking the bank could still be a pretty high range on the budget.

    Yeah, they attach to your existing bedrails.

    I think he’s talking about the accessory rails. Some covers require you to lower those with a drop bracket. Some covers attach to the accessory bedrails in the OEM location. Some bed covers only attach to the top of the bed under the lip.

    Yeah, you're right. Guess they need to clarify which bedrail they mean when it comes to mounting it.

    I picked a used UnderCover Classic on Craigslist, $250 installed.
    Zero leaks.

    I’m thinking that none will allow me to use my OEM bed rails.
    I depend on them
    for attachment.
    If I were to consider drop down brackets, won’t they be wiggly?

    I have the Extang trifold that attaches to the existing OEM accessory tracks. Not sure about the drop down bracket models.

    My UnderCover uses the tracks / rails that the cleats ride in, are these the bed rails that you are talking about?

    Yep, mine uses those rails as points of attachment. It's a solid system that's works really well.

    Good.
    Kind of digging the Trifecta 2.0
    or the signature series with a more robust cover.
    They’re in the price range..
    How are they for leaking?
