Anyone use a Kcover?
Has anyone used a Kcover for their bed? (www.kcovers.com)<br><br>Just curious as I'm looking for some form of cover for the new truck. I had a cap on my last truck (Dakota Quadcab) which looked great, but the wife doesn't want the new one to look as big.<br><br>Thanks in advance.

Looks like a nice setup. I have a Lite Rider Tonneau Cover on my truck. It's pretty nice. <br><br><br>Tony

Looks identical to the Mopar Folding Hard Tonneau cover I put on my truck. It is available thru your dealer and is also in the 2003 Dodge Accessories by Mopar for Dodge Trucks brochure. I'd at least get a price from your dealer because if the dealer installs the cover it is covered by your new truck warrenty. I am very happy with my cover. If you have any other questions about it let me know and I'll try to help.

I thought the K-cover was great, until I saw this cover: http://www.pace-edwards.com/rolltop.asp. It is quite impressive, especially since they have integrated it with toolboxes and such so you don't have to have one or the other. Summit carries it. I'm savin for it because it runs around 700.00.<br><br>Chris

I have the Pace Edwards Jackrabbit cover. It rolls up inside a box that mounts in front (kind of like a roll top desk) Its reinforced with aluminum extrusions so its tough enough to stand on. I carry around a lot of tools in the bed and I feel real secure about it. Seems I paid about what they get for the kcover.<br>Tim

Re:Anyone use a Kcover?
Here is a link to my Pace Edwards. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...79&pid=548<br><br>I like it but need to clean out junk out of the drain holes every couple months. Works great with my gooseneck as I can pull and lock it right in front of the gooseneck hitch so it can keep my hay dry or anything else. When locked it is good at stoping all but the most horizontal rain into the tailgate.<br><br>Just my 2c. Srigsl

Re:Anyone use a Kcover?
For the Pace-Edwards rolling cover, is the accumulated water drained off with drain lines? Where do these go? (hole in bed?) When you completely cover the bed and lock it, how is the tailgate secured?<br><br>My one beef with the Kcover are the seams. I'm partial to the low-profile, relatively smooth look of the rolling cover.

NC Mog, <br><br>You will hate a rolling cover in the winter if you get any amount of snow & ice. I did all the research you're are going through and decided on the Fold-A-Cover. I wanted hard cover durability with soft cover convenience as I tow a fiver. Check them out. You won't be sorry.<br><br>Richard (Bulldog)

I had a topper on my previous truck. I took it off before I sold the truck and realized how much the topper obstructed my view. A friend had a K cover installed on his Ford so I thought I'd give it a try.<br><br> I believe that "K Cover" is just a dealer (with a mighty fine web site that answers most questions) for "Advance Covers" (http://www.advancecover.com/) The Advance cover looks very similar to "Fold A Cover" (http://www.foldacover.com/). In fact, they're made in the same town.<br><br> Anyway, I like the cover. More secure than a soft cover, easily folds up or is easily removed for hauling stuff. I had to trim the inside lip of my plastic, add-on bed rails in order for things to fit. Kind of tedious but worth the effort. You would want to check out to make sure things will fit if you have over the rails, spray on bedliners. The difference in drag between a topper and a bed cover is a reduction of around 22% if I remember correctly so maybe my mileage will be better.<br><br>Bob<br>

The roll cover has two drain tubes in the bottom of the box. Rain runs down rails and emptys into box and then goes out two drain tubes that go thru bottom of bed. Cover locks but you'll need to get a tailgate lock to completely secure it. <br>Tim
