Have the same truck and went with the Undercover Ultra Flex. Call Luke at truck alterations. Best price guaranteed. I ordered the cover on a Monday and it was at my door on Wednesday.

I bought a BAK MX4 for my last truck, 18’ Silverado. The cover was junk. First the rails were too short, next the rubber seals peeled up within 6 months, they sent a new cover and the straps were too short to hold cover in half way open mode, and the rubber was peeling up after just weeks, then they sent a 3rd which was decent but it’s rubber too started peeling up after only weeks of owning. I think BAKs quality has diminished over the years. Other than that the cover was strong and I loved I didn’t need to open the cover to close my tailgate. It seemed like you could stand, maybe jump, on it and it wouldn’t let burglars in.

So i went to a local dealer that had both models on display set up...i like the look of the Leer better, its FRP plastic vs the BAK thats aluminum... the Bak seems that it will scratch easy, the FRP has a nice shine to it and looks way more scratch resistant... theres a good deal on
www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com/
they have 20% off and free shipping $687.20 plus tax... even when i showed the Leer dealer he was in shock and no where online is cheaper. lets see next week when i get it....now i need to find some nice running boards.. leaning towards the go rhino RB10.

If you don't mind the look of the rollup tonneaus then I would look at the Gator Rollup on Amazon. Comes with a 10 year warranty on the tarp and lifetime on the rails and hardware. Not a sturdy cover to place things on top of, but does allow for ease of access to everything and so far I haven't had much water in the bed...I would say from what I've seen on the BAK covers that this one gets waaay less in the bed. Plus for $200 shipped to your door you can't beat the price. My only need for the cover is to keep out prying eyes and keep things dry for road trips and/or chairs for sporting events with the kids.

I looked long and hard and I went with the Diamond back for my 2020 laramie. It looks awesome and durable. A bit pricey but worth it. They are made to order but I had it in a week. Great company to deal with, they answered all my questions quickly and they have an outlet store if you can find one for your truck, easy install also.

Diamondback HD approximately $1500 through the outlet section on their website.

Has multiple tie downs and can hold around 1500 pounds on top.

I’ve got the F1. They are warrantied and very good about replacement. I had an issue with a seal and they sent me another cover no questions asked.
