I think having a bed cover would be a great feature.
Any commerciall available rolling and some folding could be used with a hitch while towing, but would leave most of the bed exposed.

I've googled for a custom cover like Howard has to no avail.  Perhaps a report on how this unique (?) feature has been working out would be helpful.

I know it was expensive ($650 - reported early on as startup costs as I recall) compared to stock soft tonneau covers, and needed some adjustments and subsequent repair.

Is this a "recommended" approach versus the open pickup beds often with toolboxs that are most common?
What vendors will make these?  I wouldn't mind using Howard's Vendor in KY if he's still recommended.  Are there any others?

Thanks!

A bed cover is a great feature and gives you a lot more storage space.
We bought a roll up cover and it's only open when we tow, which we rarely do if it's raining. The rest of the time it's closed and secure. We keep extra clothes, tools and misc. stuff in 3 large covered boxes at the front. There is really a lot of room in the bed.
Good luck,
Fred

I would have to agree.  I have the Access Rollup Cover and it has served me well. Wouldn't be without it.  A lot better than those other types with the removable arched bows I had on my other trucks.   Also, it doesn't interfere at all with my 5th wheel hitch.
