Whats the best tonneau pickup cover

[Steve Bullman]

In the market for a cover for my new truck. I've had a roll top cover now for 7 years. Looking at either the same again or maybe one of the mountain top covers on struts.

 

I think the mountain top might be too restricting as I won't be able to load stuff in the back beyond the height of the sides on the rare occasion I need to. Strapping stuff on the top of the mountain top would be an option of course.

 

Thoughts and experiences please, particularly with the latter.

Ive got similar to the Mountain top, called "upstone evolve"

 

As per: UPSTONE EVOLVE - PRO-FORM Automotive security, protection, style and ease

 

 

Its got 2 big wing nut style bolts, one either side, undo them (by hand in 30seconds, and the whole cover is easily removed, leaving just the very un-obtrisuve brackets on the sides

 

Can mount roof rails on the top, eyelets etc for securing lighter loads/snowboards/bikes etc

Interesting Josh. How secure would you rate it?

[josharb87]

Secure enough to stop the opportunist.

locking mechanism locks on both sides, so you can't lift a corner like the older mountaintops (i don't know about the newer ones)

Also got (although I've not fitted), 2 latches that stop you being able to open the tailgate without opening the top first.

 

its a bit bulkier than the mountain top, feels more robust, and also (according to my mate) greater opening angle
