Default Would like opinion on bed cover selection

Ok so Im looking at getting a bed cover for my truck and I have searched and I cant find the information that I am looking for so I am going to see what you guys think and if you have any experience I would like to know

1st one Im looking at is the TruXedo Lo Pro QT (it is about 475 and lifetime warrenty)

2nd is the Extang revolution (about 415 and lifetime warrenty)

3rd is the Access Vanish low profile (about 375 and 3 year warrenty)

4th Extang RT (about 380 and lifetime warrenty)

now these are just prices of a website (I dont know if there a sponsor so i wont say) but if you know of a place that has lower prices post it up or please PM me

Thanks

I also just noticed on GM parts direct that a OEM Soft Bed Cover is 312!
is that a better way to go with GM quality

Go with extang. Nice products, I love my tuff toneau.. They also make one just like the one I have that has flat supports instead of the slight arched bows that I have.. Also uses a J lip to fasten it to the frame, not velcro.. Unless you are wanting snaps

I have the Extang on my truck for the summer. It was cheap, and I like it. 2 friends of mine have Truxedo's, and I like those even better. I like that they stretch VERY tight when latched closed, and they lay FLAT, instead of the arched bows that I have. But since I have a shaved tailgate, I had to use the Extang.

I can't stand a flexing softcover & now I see some of these posts. But I'm happy w/. mine... other than the weight. If I went soft cover, it's gotta be flat bows, no flex like AK low mentioned, & those snaps **** me off when they rust & other issues I've had on my older truck. If I had to go w/. a different tonneau, an Extang Trifecta is pretty sweet. Take a look if u need function & don't always need to fully open it. I wanna say ~$360. My other choices get more pricey, so I'll stop w/. that.
