The saga is over

[RyanbabZ71]

Well after a month of thinking i decided that the gm soft tonneau cover was the way to go.

 

Prices locally and from a buddy were $299+

 

Found a place that was selling for $330 something.  Got them to sell it for $269 (like the gm accessory book says).

 

Should have it in 7-10 days

 

(oh yea still no seat covers)

Good choice Ryan.  I like the versatility.

Good luck with it, and I'd be interested to see how it looks - might go that path for Summer use when I have the cap off.

I made a tent with mine.  A post in each corner.  One side taller than the other.  I then used a roll of mesh screen that is draped from the cover around the top edge of the bed.  Then I put an air mattress in the bed.  I also have a 12V fan that I can attach to the tall post for the really calm nights when I need my own personal breeze.

 

It isn't the prettiest thing, but it was crafty and only cost $30.  (the fan was $20)

If I didn't need to have larger lockable storage, I would have a soft cover on my truck too Ryan.  I think for all your purposes, you made the right choice!!!

Where'd you end up getting it from?  I may be looking for one, I'll have to check with some gm parts places and see what I can pick one up for.

[RyanbabZ71]

got mine locally.

It's about time you decided Ryan!!! ;)  I think you made a good choice, that's what I'm getting on my pickup when I get it.  My sister-in-law had a Extang on her Ranger :but: and it was great

Ryan, Good choice.  I think you will like it.

[chevy4x4trucks]

Ryan, this is plain jane soft tonneau right?  I just had the folding tonneau cover priced out and it lists at about 800 bucks.  I like the versatility of the folding and locking panels, but that price is pretty steep.

mine is the soft cover with the bowtie

 

pics as soon as it arrives

[SteveSierra]

Good choice.  I like mine.  The only thing is, if you really want to see the bowtie, you'll need to fill it in with some color.  I didn't do that to mine, but some might do this to make it stand out more.  I've been VERY happy with the snapless cover.

Ryan...ya need to go ahead and get the leather too!

 

I still like the Classic Soft Trim package I put in mine.

 

 

Definitely recommend it!
