New truck owner, apologies in advance for my ignorance of a great many things.

I'm looking to cover the bed when we take road trips - want to keep luggage, etc clean and dry (and modestly secure, though that's a much lower priority). However, this will only be for travel, bed will be uncovered all other times. So I'm looking for a tonneau cover that is really easy/fast to install and remove.

Crew cab, 5'7" bed, RamBox, Bed Utility Group, Multifunction Tailgate.

I welcome any suggestions, seems like the RamBox and MFT are my biggest limiting factors.

Thanks.

If security is at the low end of the totem pole, I love my cover. Easy to remove when needed and also allows full bed access when it is installed. So far has kept my bed clean and dry. Truxedo Lo Pro...not sure if it it works with the MFT though.

I have a Tyger, and I would suggest that, but I don't think they make them for Rambox, much less MFT. On/off the truck in under 5 minutes.

Thanks for all of your replies. Looks like there is a Truxedo Lo Pro option for RamBox and MFT.

The promo video mentions attaching rails. I already have silver rails that were part of the BUG.

Is using the OEM rails an option for any tonneau covers?

I have a Truxedo Sentry CT on my 2020 with Ramboxes and the installation hardware is designed to work with the silver aluminum OEM rails. Very simple installation and the cover works great, quick to remove also. Should work fine for the MFT also.

I have an access roll up and love it , when you want the use of the whole bed you just roll it up , when you’re done just roll it back . I think the Truxedo as mentioned already is the same .

If you like the LoPro check out the Prox15 too by Truxedo. Essentially the same cover but has a fabric convertible style top that is matte vs. the shiny vinyl look. Quickly bolts onto the silver rail and can be removed in probably under a minute. Works great with Rambox, mft and bed utility group. Sentry CT model would be next step up with more security. I considered that one too but I park in my garage and don’t really store stuff in the bed ever so I wasn’t worried about security.

My Sentry CT is covered in snow after a storm the other day, with more coming tonight. May be a day or two before I can get decent pics.
