Agree, he makes it easy.Luke from Truck Alterations made my decision easy with his knowledge on bed covers. Very easy to work with those guys. Had an issue with a small broken piece when shipment came in but they took care of it without any questions and had replacement parts shipped next day.
Truck looks great and I like the cover. Thinking about doing the lower and fender flares but with either the granite color or black as per your Ram, not sure.I went with the the RetraxPRO MX retractable Premium Aluminum Series cover.
I plan on keeping this truck for awhile and want the bed cover to last.
Pros:
(1) It has a lock to keep the cargo secure.
(2) Easy to access the bed you can open and close it with one hand.
(3) Paint is baked on so it will hold up to the elements.
(4) Able to put Decals on the bed...
Cons:
(1) Expensive: Price: $1,829.00
(2) In heavy rain or washing the truck get some leakage around the tailgate.

Thanks!!!Truck looks great and I like the cover. Thinking about doing the lower and fender flares but with either the granite color or black as per your Ram, not sure.
So many tonneau cover choices today. Really have to figure what you will use it for and how much you are willing to commit $$$ wise.
How much of the bed is lost and what does it take if you wanted to remove it?
I received my Ram 11/24/18. The last time I looked at tonneau covers was 2001 when there was limited selection. I bought an Extang Black Max back then and it served me well although the snaps are a draw back at times. When it came time to put a tonneau on the 2019 I was overwhelmed with choices to the point I just bought the Black Max as an interim measure.Thanks!!!
To be honest with you if I did not have the 6'4" bed, I would have gone a different route.
The Roll-up takes 13.5" of your bed. So to put it in perspective my Quad Cab with a 6'4" bed I have 5'275" left to load and it would be a major pain in the butt to remove. (Especially by yourself)
If you have the Crew Cab it will leave you with 4'575" to load. Of course you can access the area underneath the roll-up but that is only 9" of head room.
I have been able to load some lumber underneath it for example.
Hi FL Laramie,I read all the reviews and comparison threads on here regarding the roll covers. I ended up buying the Truck Covers USA brand. https://www.truckcoversusa.com/american-roll-cover/ The main reason I chose this over the Roll n Lock brand is that the canister is smaller on the Truck Covers brand. My boss has the Roll n Lock and can't fit anything underneath the canister, basically a lot of dead space under there. I've got more room underneath and use that area to store a Home Depot DeWalt toolbox with all my toe straps, jumper cables, etc. inside of it. I'm very satisfied with Truck Covers USA and would purchase it again. Hope this helps.
Really sorry. Just saw this request. Not sure I understand what you mean about replacing the rails. The cover clamps on to the thin sheet metal lip that runs down both sides of the bed.Hi FL Laramie,
I have a quick question regarding your American Roll Cover. Did the cover come with rails that completely replace the rails that came with your Laramie? Any pictures of how the cover is attached to the bed would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much,
WilburNJ
