I recently bought this 2023 and am thinking of buying one of the three mopar bed covers. They have a hard trifold, soft trifold, and a really nice roll up (the way I’m leaning.)

I have done some research on cheaper aftermarket clamp on options and have seen reports of bent bed rails due to the clamps so I won’t be interested in those.

Thanks in advance.

Don't have experience with others, but really like my factory roll up, find myself not wanting most racks because there not compatible though, but if rack is not a consideration then I recommend it.

I have decided against a bed rack.

Congrats, nice looking JT!

Since you've done your research, of the 3, the roll-up gives you the most bed accessibility, I'm not familiar with these, but does the last section of soft and hard tri-fold, closest to the cab, tilt up with supports to allow max access? The hard trifold would probably give you the most security for sure.
I am currently running a used off-brand soft tri-fold and don't have any issues.

Mopar hard tri-fold, closest section to the cab, does tilt up to give full access to bed-- (there's some youtube videos that show this)

I've got it on my gladiator and no issues- still like it better than soft cover just because we get a lot of wind, etc.

I've had the hard tri-fold since I bought the Jeep, it's great if you - want to securely haul things in the bed. It's bad at full bed-sized loads that cause you to fold up the last section against the rear cab/window.
Really depends on your use case and what you will be hauling in the bed. I love the tri-fold for the security aspect, but will be getting rid of mine in the next month because I'm going to a bobbed bed.
I'm in Middle TN, if you're close enough I'd meet you somewhere and let you check mine out, if you want to see one up close.

I bought a Gator trifold hard cover from Realtruck. It is low profile, but does not flip up against the rear window. If I need the full bed I can loosen 4 knobs to remove the whole cover. If you want a soft trifold, check out the Gator one. It's not very expensive, and is simple to install and operate.

I love my roll up, still looks new after 4 1/2 years with just annual maintenance. The only flaw was at 4 years the straps that sit below the tonneau disintegrated I believe their purpose was to make rolling the cover easier but I don’t mind not having them even though I’m sure they can be replaced if I wanted to have an interior shop to sew in new ones

Mine came with an aftermarket tri-fold which I really appreciate. I normally do not need to fold it up and can use it for *more* secure storage of stuff in the back. I would *not* trust it or any of the MOPAR ones for true security of valuables for any period of time or in high risk locations. There are a number of higher security options out there that I’ve been looking at but haven’t decided I needed it enough to justify the expense.

I also suggest expanding your search outside of the MOPAR branded items since there are a lot of great options out there at lower price points than what those five letters require.

I have the oem roll up. I like it. It keeps inside the bed dry.

This choice makes the most sense to me. Thanks.

My friend has a Tyger tri-fold and the quality appears to be the same at nearly 1/4 the price of the Mopar product. It's what I'm going to order for mine, although I am going to buy the roll-up so it's out of the way.
