Default Bed and windshield covers

I have been looking to add a bed cover to my 2019 supercrew shortbed and am really leaning towards the RetraxPro MX (unless someone can talk me out of it)
Who out there has some of the best pricing for these? I have seen a few around the $1595 range with forum pricing but was not sure if there are places that could do better?

Also needing to invest in a windshield cover to help from the dash warping again. Already had this replaced once before I picked up the truck from the dealer since it sat on the lot for a year.
Been looking at either the WeatherTech or the Covercraft. And how do you know if you have the rear view mirror camera? My truck is the platinum series

Thermal tint on windshield helps a lot. Lomax trifold bed cover is really nice, easy to use, easy to remove, easy to install.

Send a PM to Luke at Truck Alterations @truckalter - a vendor on the site. He beat everyone and offered free shipping with no hassle of having to chat / haggle / email. Although I went with a different combination due to having the 5-8" bed, I considered the Retrax PRO XR because it adds T-Slots to the rails. From there you have a lot more flexibility for carrying items by adding cross-bars or the ability to add a ladder rack.

Best windshield cover ever is the custom cut heat shield you can find on amazon. I’ve bought one for each truck and for my wife. If that’s what you’re talking about for cover I highly recommend it!

Yep, this is for without sensor. I don’t roll mine either. I fold it in 4ths, gets nice and broken in and fits like a glove.

Call me crazy, but for the last 5 years, the only sunshade I have used is the $6 folding aluminum shade from Walmart. Knock on wood I haven't had any warping issues, but I always make sure at least once a year to use 303 UV protectant spray on the whole interior which also makes the interior look brand new.
