cons: Not avail for King cab, Only available in Black, Two Locks instead of one central one.

I dunno if its true but Ive heard that for us down south the LEER and the ARE are expensive and the undercover and the gaylord are cheaper but up north that its the opposite...Ive seen many forums where this is said...I dont know if for all vehicles or what but maybe some northerners can tell me if thats true or not...

a funny thing about the "Gaylord" is that they stamp the name right on the tip of the thing...hehe...I would make fun of my friend in his chevy with this so he got it painted over...

Shouldn't be a difference in the price, if so get em' to price match. There is an outfit on ebay that sells them for $499 + shipping to anywhere Continental.

Re: Hard Top Tonneau Cover... any good ones?

Thanks All for the info! Seems like the Undercover has some decent reviews and you wont spend an arm & a leg. And seeing that I only get 13.5 MPG, I could use the extra $$.

For delivery via shipment, who do you recommend to buy from? I see quite a few!

For the undercover, Call Luke at 828-926-4416 or e-mail at ebay@truckalterations.com . Say you saw it on ebay, they sell it for $495 + $100 shipping to commercial address. I got mine three biz days after I ordered it. That outfit is out of North Carolina. It was the best deal I could find. You could also try to price match that to the undercover website itself, they say they will beat any deal. I know that the Dealer cost for the Cover is $459.00

If your a dealer, you might be able to get that price by setting up a account with reliable automotive. http://www.reliableautomotive.com

Best of luck

It is $600 for the undercover but the utilitrack adapter will also set you back another $125.

Re: Hard Top Tonneau Cover... any good ones?

I like the ARE and that you can lock it.... probably would not keep out someone who really wanted in, but keeps out the curious.

Looks great on the truck as well.

Re: Hard Top Tonneau Cover... any good ones?

I just found this cover while looking for something else and thought it looked interesting. Do not know anything about it. Looks similar to a Versacover. I have an ARE LSII and love it.

I have silver with the Undercover. I think it looks great.
Also, another post here said that there were only a couple of covers that match the lines of the Titan. The Undercover was not listed, but it indeed matches the lines of the truck with the hump curving out over the tailgate.

It also works with the Utilitrack. Just make sure they send you the proper mounting kit.

I love mine. Highly recommeded!!!
