So just bought a Gladiator Sport S, looking at doing a bedliner but also want to get a tonneau cover. Was going to go with hard top, but I want to use all available space, so soft top it is. I saw someone post this on another thread

https://www.ebay.com/itm/254356227444


Any other options out there that people have used?

It hasnt been a week and I'm already looking at so all the things I want to do....this is going to be a very expensive toy/daily driver lol.
I got a Gator tri fold soft cover from Real Trucks for my new Willys Sport. About $250, fine for what it is. We’ll made, will keep snow out of the bed.

This is the one I bought from Amazon 3 years ago. It's still working fine.
You think that tri-fold hard cover would fit a JT without issue? It looks nearly identical to the factory one I have on my Honda Ridgeline and I love it.

The link said it won't fit the Gladiator, but I've read over and over that most 5' covers work on any 5' bed.
The colorado will fit the gladiator from the research i did. Its a good alternate and usually a little less than a gladiator specific cover.

I installed the Tyger Colorado top this afternoon, it fits fine. The install was very easy Could've been maybe an inch wider which would make the clamps fit straighter, but the pictures on Tyger's website make it look like their Gladiator top is the same width as the Colorado, i.e. it looks exactly like it came out on my Gladiator. If it was wider it would hang over the rounded corners on the back of the truck.

Bestop Twill Trifold, just installed it. I like it, no risk of damage to plastic bed rails

Interesting that Tyger's Colorado cover is $148 and their Gladiator cover is $206. Most say the Colorado cover will fit a Gladiator but some say otherwise?

The width is the same?
Where are you seeing it for 148? Everytime I go on amazon, it's showing up as 200+ and that's the Chevy Colorado price.

Looks like the price went back up; when I ordered it it was showing as a reduced price. Maybe they were overstocked or made a mistake.

Ah ok gotcha. Might have to wait and see if it drops again in the next week or so.

If the price stays the same as the Gladiator version you might as well order that one. Be interesting to see if there is actually any difference (maybe the clamps are different).
