I've owned 3 of the popular RT covers, Extang RT, Truxedo RT, and now a Access RT.
IMO, the Access is the poorest in over all attention detail, poor seals, using cover material in places where the competition uses nylon webbing and rubber seals.
I'd rate them as follows, Truxedo Rt, Extang RT ( I realy like the flat profile) and a distant 3rd would be the Access cover I currently own.
Usually you can find really good deals on Ebay. I bought all of the ones I've owned on ebay for ~$250 to my door.

I have the LeBra Fliplokâ (snapless) tonneau. I bought it @ Pep Boys for $155 on sale. The usual price is ~$175 I believe. I have had this same cover on 3 different trucks with good results. Pretty decent tonneau for the money IMO.

I have EXTANG without snaps. Cover just folds into a channel(great for cold weather). This style also came as an option on my 2000 lightning.

I have the Extang RT. My heart was set on an undercover but at the time they didn't have one for the Flareside. As far as the Extang it is a nice cover. Serves its purpose. I do like how it sits flush with the top of the truck bed. I find that after I open it and then I go to close it, I sometimes have to lift the velcro sides and pull it tight and secure the velcro back to have it absolutely tight. Also if I go to the carwash and shoot the wand towards the sides it will raise the velcro up off the rail which I don't like that aspect of it. Anyway all in all it is a pretty good cover. Would sell it though so I could get the undercover.

I've done an intensive research on tonno covers as I've decided to get one sometime before summer. After all the searching I came to the conclusion that the K-Cover is the ultimate cover. It's a folding cover in 4 panels. Two locks one on the front panel and one on the back. So you can store or transport stuff under those two panels or open the tailgate. It folds up so you can use 3/4ths of the bed at any time. It's a hard shell cover that looks great and can be used as a trunk for road trips. Plus a very important feature to me is you can quickly take it off for full use of the bed. Thus it has no added side rails (which take up bed space width wise) or a canister which would take up bed space length wise. The bad news is this cover is extremely expensive. But I might have to bite the bullet in this case to get exactly what I want. No other cover came close, unfortunately.

Superranger, were you able to get your Truxedo to be waterproof? Mine leaks a tad bit into the bed, up near the cab.
