Default looking for a bed cover

I'm looking into buying a tonneau cover for my 2010 lariat, i was leaning towards the Tonnopro tri-fold but i'm not sure if there is anything out there i'm missing.. what are the best covers? and does anyone know how the tonnopro holds up in rain and snow?
any help appreciated,

creighton

Go with Bakflip... in my opinion it the best one you can get. I have the F1. Check it out in my garage.

Some people have complained of leaks. I have zero. I took my time and made sure everything was lined up perfectly during installation. I'am 110 % satisfied with this product.

I beleive the bakflip will hold up to the elements better than the vinyl ones. The reason I got the bakflip was cause it a hard cover and sits flush on the bed. It wont fade or tear or be cut like the vinly ones.

Even though they are expensive, ARE tonneau covers are the best in my opinion.

This is my '04 STX with an ARE tonneau cover.

If you really want it to stand up to the elements you should get a hard cover . plus there alot harder to steal than the soft ones.

BakFlip HD (there were 3 units during BAK's attempt to figure out what was wrong with their product before I gave up and went with a different product, so its not like I got an unlucky singled out unit).

I will add that I had two of my units dealer installed, but in all fairness it seems that this isn't uncommon, but its also not the rule but more of an exception to see these kind of leaks.
