I'm picking up my factory ordered Sting Gray Sport S on Tuesday and a bed cover is the second priority after some type of running board/step/rock rail/nerf bar (lots of choices, haven't decided which type yet, much less which model).
My outgoing 2017 Ram 1500 has a soft tri-fold that ha been perfectly adequate, but if I were to complain it would be that it is hard to clean.
I am not a "wash my vehicle every week" kind of guy, so by the time I do get around to a wash, dirt and grime and pine sap are deeply embedded into the vinyl.
I also don't care for the flapping a bit in the frame you get while on the highway.
You also have to be careful what you (temporarily) put on it.
Soft covers are also less secure, but I don't really worry about that.
None of that is such a big deal that I would buy an $800++ hard cover, but this one for less than $500 has me thinking....
Besides the price I also like that the panels are fiberglass rather than aluminum as it is more damage resistant.
