I'm thinking about getting a tonneau cover for my 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie. But I am undecided which one. Either foldable or retractable. I like things about both. What are pros and cons you have seen with either one?
North Central WV, a few minutes from Western MD and SW PA.If you live in cold country ice and snow are not your friend with the retractables.
I might haul stuff once in a great while. I just like the idea of being able to secure items in the bed, especially if I am headed to the range for some target practice. Do I haul large items? Rarely, but I like having the option. You should've seen the look I was getting in the local Lowe's parking lot trying to get a set of Adirondack chairs into the back of a Subaru WRX.Depends on how you use your bed
Retractable
Cons
- canister takes up space
- much more expensive then most trifold covers
- not as easily remove label if you do need the extra space
Pros
-usually way more durable.. harder to break into
-usually can be keyed locked instead of just locked with the tailgate like trifold covers

How about the Undercover Armor Flex then?Neither one. You need more options LOL.
Have you looked into Lomax, folding. They support up to 400lbs on the cover, fold out of the way, remove in about 1min. I had one on my GMC and one is going on my Ram. Sit flush and water tight. https://www.agricover.com/hard-tonneau-covers/I'm thinking about getting a tonneau cover for my 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie. But I am undecided which one.

Considered Paragon and almost pulled trigger, sometimes wish I did, but didn't like that it seems like it had to be keyed locked or it would be accessible. Also, thought downward pressure may cause inadvertent openings if not locked.I like mine from Paragon. It's a foldable, that folds into the bed that way you can still see out the rear window. And when it is folded, you can remove the panel as one unit to get back that 6 inches of space.
Yes, it needs to be locked, but takes 2 seconds to lock or unlock. The only issue I have is that if there is anything in the front of the bed, it won't open.Considered Paragon and almost pulled trigger, sometimes wish I did, but didn't like that it seems like it had to be keyed locked or it would be accessible.
