It's not the New Year 2021 yet but out with the old and in with the new. I've had the Extang Black Max cover on for 2 years while I tried to figure out which cover fit my needs the best, so many choices, felt like a kid in a candy shop. I had considered the Lomax, Extang Exceed, Truxedo Sentry CT and finally went with the DiamondBack HD smooth. USA ingenuity, lifetime warranty, 1600 lbs. on top, easy removal (4 - 9/16" bolts ) and a few others. Added weight and cost are two drawbacks but my 3 sons paid for it from their inheritance.
I've been lugging around a batch of tools in/on the back seat and too tired to remove at the end of the day finally pushed my decision to the DB HD for the security and load on top of cover.

to DiamondBack for "service" (aka answering the phone, being able to understand them and answering a question quickly). Anybody buying one put the clamps on the inside of center rail as per directions and pictures, it will save you some head scratching and a phone call.
Thanks to former posters of the smooth DB which also helped in my decision. By the way that is my 2001 in one picture with an Extang Black Max Tonneau, it's on the 2nd cover which last about 10 years without extensive care, probably a lot longer with 303 or Tonneau Tonic (I think it is 303) from Extang
