Roll n Lock

Just brought a KR F150 yesterday. Interested in a bed cover like Roll N Lock
I believe this is the name. No hard tonneau or soft or a fiberglass clam shell.

Traded in my Avalanche with the 3 piece tonneau and they were a bother
at times. Has any used this product and have any pros and cons

Area looking to install is around Hempstead, Brenham or
College Station

Thanks

I bought the RETRAX cover online and installed it myself (with a friend) in about an hour. It cost around $850, it's made of kevlar, and it's lockable. You can slide it closed, lock it, then lock your tailgate and your stuff is secure. I love it when we're Christmas shopping because we can load the truck, lock it up, and continue shopping. It locks in whatever position you want also. Keep in mind, the box that the cover rolls into is 1'x1' at the front of the bed, but you can still put stuff under it. I'll take some pics and put them in my gallery.

The roll-n-lock looks nice, probably worth the extra bucks. If you get it, take some pics. Good luck. Did you see my pics in my gallery? The two covers look alot different.

I did go with the Roll N Lock. Hard to really compare since most do have a feature
that stand out over the other. I thought about going with a roll n lock back in
2000 on a silverado. So know they have been around for awhile.

Your cover sounds like some plus's if a truck is going to be un-garaged as for water
sealing and in northern areas for a snow load.

Have some pics but been having trouble accessing my gallery to add more ????
