    Hi guys I am in the market once again for a bed cover.

    I have new in the box Undercover Armour Flex but not having any luck fitting it to my oem rails correctly. While I am going back and forth with replacement parts from undercover I think its time to start thinking of another cover.

    Looking for the best I can find thanks guys

    Works perfectly with bed rails and you can easily remove it with a pull of a cable.

    I have the Extang Trifecta Solid Fold and love it. I've had it for 6 years and it's holding up fantastic. You can order it to work either with or without the bedrail system. My current truck has the bedrail system and it works fine. Very highly recommend.

    That version is a 3/4 access from what I read I am looking looking for full access to bed like undercover and looks like Leer has.

    I purchased a Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold cover. So far I love it! Fits great on the rails and was very easy to install.

    I just installed a Leer hf350 on my 2018 and would recommend! Tight seal, feels quality, and easy to install with or without rails.

    No, it folds up to 1/3 and snaps down leaving 2/3 full bed access.

    What problem are you having with the rails? I really enjoyed my undercover. I had it before my rails, i wish i could still have it but it doesnt fit with my kayak rack

    I had this Bestop cover on my Tundra, it attaches directly to the OEM rails.

    My Flex wouldn't stay mounted to the stock bed rails.
    One side would fall off every time I closed it.

    I bought the bed rail system (wanted one anyway), Undercover sent me the bed rail clamps for free, and it has been fine ever since..

    This was supposed to be able to be installed with or without OEM rail system. Had to remove the rail system.
    My friend and I could not figure out how to install the tonneau cover any other way. if someone knows please let me know how.

    if its anything like the undercover there should be 2 versions of clamps ones that fit inside rail others that are for non rails. Hopefully they send you helpful info.

    The Undercover and Gator EFX are identical except for the sticker on the cover.

    I have the Undercover though I ordered the Gator. It came in a Gator box I installed everything and closed the final panel to find it was actually the undercover.

    That makes sense. When I was looking at a cover a lot of them seemed the exact same. The fit, finish, everything. I bet most of these companies buy them from a 3rd party and slap their sticker on them.
    (Side note: I love that profile pic you have! They're only chasing safety was a great album!)

    They produce all their own stuff. They just have different brands for some reason.

    It was a great album. Their new album Voyuersit is pretty good but very very different from the days of old.

    I bought a used 21 Pro and it came with a weathertech trifold aluminum bed cover. I didn't know they made one. I normally don't like trifold covers because when you want full use of the bed it ends up covering the back window or is a pain to remove. The weathertech is bone dry, super low profile, and removes completely in seconds. I would have never looked to get one but since it came with the truck i really like it.

    This was my experience.
    The standard clamps would never get a good grip on that tiny bed edge of the bed.
    The passenger side rail would fall off when I closed it unless I pussyfooted it shut.

    45DD71E3-56FA-4AC4-865A-5F78C4F7FBFE_zps_cb750902f9ea229e1e60c8d433aec1f598f63a7e.jpg

    Ordered the bed rail system and UC sent me the proper clamps (for free) and it is very secure now.
    I can slam it shut with no problem..

    The Weathertech is a rebranded Agricover LOMAX.

    I have a LOMAX and second everything Njmike said. Bone dry, looks great, super easy to remove, and doesn't eat up any bed space once its out. I highly recommend it if you want a tri-fold, I spent hours researching before buying mine.

    Also the LOMAX has a version that allow you to keep the factory bed tie down system.
