2020 Laramie with the Rambox and bed package, including the chrome rails and movable tie downs - I wanted a hard, tri-fold cover and ended up with the MX4 from Bakflip. I ordered it direct, and it arrived within a week, after a slight Fedex delay.
Install was simple - although the instructions are vague. The rails slide right into the pre-installed rails. I needed to encourage them to go all the way in with a block of wood and a hammer.
Some things I learned -
The weather stripping at the cab end of the bed needs to go in the center, or slightly to the bed side - mine is too far forward and the cover sits on about 1/2 of it, not covering it entirely.
The tie downs - put one pair of tie downs all the way forward to the cab BEFORE putting on the bed rails, as the bracket for the prop prevents you putting them that far forward once installed. I wasn't pulling it all off to fix it, so both pairs of mine now live at the back 1/2
Otherwise, an easy install. I did it solo, in heat, in less than 30mins.

My wife came out wondering what the hell I was hitting when I was supposed to be installing a bed cover
