Default What is the best solid folding tonneau cover?

As the title says, I'm looking to get a solid folding tonneau cover and am looking for feedback on what everyone considers the best.

OK. Why does the G2 win the Poll?

I have had the G2 on my truck for about 3 months now and for me it has been great. I like the fact you can fold it all the way back to the cab as I have had to haul some large loads and it makes it so much easier. I have had very little leaking issues and living in the Northwest it has been tested frequently. I did however have to cut the factory bed liner a little for the drain tubes but it was not an issue.

Has anyone that voted for the Bakflip used any of the other brands?
I have the Extang and have no complaints. I also have not lost any bed space as is the case with the Bakflip. I also do not have to worry about having a drain tube running inside the bed.
So if I was allowed to vote, I it would be Extang.

Edit ..... Have since been allowed to vote.

Uhhh how do you lose bed space with the G2? I have the G2 and have not lost any bed space?? Also I did not use the drain tubes and during hard downpours I get a little water in the bed but it is very minimal. The price is very good on the G2 as well. The Extangs in my experience cost quite a bit more.

The Bakflip sits just inside the bed rails. the Extang sits on top of the bed rails = lost bed space.
I have not seen any water inside my bed. Completely dry.
I spent $725 for the Extang. The prices I've seen on Bakflips are $740 to $800.

You've got me there, that's if you leave the Bak flip down flat. If you fold it up behind the rear windows it is completely out of the way. Really wow, I paid $600 for mine. Of course that was 2 years ago.

They've gone up. I just saw them on sale for $900.
When comparing the two I just didn't like the fact that in order to use the entire bed I had to fold the thing up against the rear window, blocking my view.
Side by side the Extang won out for me.

Had dealer instal my back flip for 750 recently. the drain tubes keep it completly dry a friend of mine did not install drain tubes and has a little water. im happy with backflip because it allowed room for bed rails.
