What Tonneau to get?
Hey guys, I'm looking to get a tonneau for my freshly restored 1994 f150 xl long bed. I'd like to get a tonneau to give me some weather proof storage space, and to keep my goods out of view. Does anyone have any suggestions as to tonneaus they have / like?

I gotz a soft tri-fold that works as well as any.
Weighs about 30lbs so I can easily remove and install it by myself, which is important.
No snaps, can be folded twice to expose 2/3 of the bed and the truck can be driven that way.
Keeps the bed free of debris, snow, leaves and half ast clean.
Leaks a little but Chester ain't the space shuttle and I can live with it for $300.
25 months old and still looks new with no maintenance except for auto-washes.

It's a 'Trifecta' by Extang.

Dealer installed mine as part of a package deal. I paid $300, 25 months ago.
I see they have a 'deluxe' model now with canvas on top. Seems like THAT would be hard to keep clean from road salt stains.

My only recommendation. Do not get one that snaps. They may be cheaper. I would fork the extra hundred for a tri fold or the tongue and groove type or roll up Velcro. If you want a soft top. My truck came with a button up. When it is cold it shrinks and is a pain in the butt to button up and can not be done alone(takes two or 3 tea pots full of hot water to expand it enough to snap). I am about to get a trifecta.
