I had the Gator SR1 on my last truck and just got a new one for me new truck. I've never had any issues or any water in my bed. The biggest question to ask yourself is do you need the cover for security of personals in the back. The only time I put stuff that's important to me that I would need security is when I go on vacation, but I really don't carry anything I'm worried about getting stolen unless I'm driving the truck, and highly doubt anyone would try and cut it open while I'm in the truck.

I had a Truxedo LoPro in my 2nd gen dodge then an Access Lorado lopro in my previous GMC. The Truxedo was a much nicer product and just ordered one for the F150.

When it comes to the soft roll up covers, there are certainly many to choose from. Depending on your price range, You can never go wrong with a Truxedo Lo-pro, or an Access cover, They both make great products. If you're looking for a cover under $300, I would suggest going with an Access Tonnosport.

I had a Retrax for 10 years on my F-350, but it wasn't perfect. I had a ProTech headache rack and it basically shortened the bed by about 2 inches and it prevented the Retrax from fully extending and therefore not sit flush.

Fast forward, I just purchased a F-150 and will be putting another ProTech headache rack on the pickup and possibly a over the rail ProTech toolbox. What I am looking for is some sort of cover that will work with a toolbox taking up part of the box. Are there any covers that work in this situation?

Curious what others are doing.

How wide is the tool box? Is it a low profile box or standard height?

Okay perfect, Look like it will be a standard width between 19-21in inches. There are several options you can choose from. If you send me a message I will send you some.

I am in Wisconsin also, just bought a 17 King Ranch and I just ordered the Access Limited tonneau cover.

I had one on a truck in the past and it worked really well especially for the money. I installed it by myself with no issues. That truck would also sit outside all winter long so I know the snow and ice never really affected anything.
