Hi all, I recently bought a 2019 1500 Big Horn with the 6’4” bed. Love the truck so far. It did not come with a bed cover and would love advice from anyone with after market experience. I’m willing to pay for the hard cover, if it really makes a difference. I guess my questions would be - what are the best ones out there, and is this something I should have the dealer install. Note I do have the ram stock bed liner. Appreciate any comments!

Truxedo makes nice stuff. I debated for days on the truxedo Pro x15, truxedo sentry, and the bakflip Mx4.
I got the Prox15 and I am very happy with it. You can install yourself easily with basic hand tools.
It all comes down to what you want in a cover. I wanted my cover to keep the bed clean and dry for hauling luggage and other personal items. I would have liked a hard cover, but the cost is much higher and doesn't really offer much protection from someone that wants in your bed. Plus, truxedo offers a lifetime warranty on the pro x15 and I think 5 years on the sentry.
The bakflip is super nice, too. But I did not like the idea of folding it up and leaning against the cab if I wanted to use almost the entire bed. To use the entire bed, you need to remove it.
The Pro x15 looks super sharp in matte black, doesn't make any flapping noise in the wind that I cam hear, keeps my bed nearly bone dry in even the heaviest downpours and rolls up tightly to reveal the entire bed whenever I need it.
