Quick Release Tonneau Cover?

[CluelessRufus]

Since no one replied to my last request for suggestions, I thought I’d limit my requirements.

I’m looking for recommendations for a tonneau cover that is quick and easy to remove from the bed and reinstall.

Basically, I only see myself using the tonneau occasionally. The rest of the time, I’ll want full access to the bed to haul my dirt bike. So, I want something that I can remove and/or reinstall by myself in under 15 minutes.

Note: I have the factory Trail Rail system.

Once you get it adjusted, it only takes a minute to remove or re-install.

I went with the Agricover Literider. Easy to roll up. Cheap and has faired well over a year. You should be able to roll it up enough to keep it out of the way of the bike without removing it. It is not totally waterproof, but keeps the moisture at bay until I hit it with a pressure car wash in the corners.

I had the dealer install a Mopar Soft Tri-Fold on my Overland when I bought it three years ago. I took it off to install a RSI Smartcap. There was one nut in each front corner, came off in about five minutes.

Factory Mopar trifold:
I just put wing nuts on the bolts that hold it on. It comes off easily now.

Gator or Tyger, reasonably priced, fit well, lightweight, and removable by one person ?

The release is on the inside, so a locked tailgate is a locked cover.
The wire loop top right.
The red bungee is unrelated.

I'll add that the only previous cover I've ever had was an ARE fiberglass one on a Tacoma. That thing was a blessing and a curse.

Why over-think this? The solution is as simple as a factory option.
Factory soft roll-up tonneau cover. Two screws, off in under 5 minutes. Roll it up, strap it, remove two screws, carry it off the truck and set it on your car hauler and install the truck tent.........
The next morning, I removed the tent, laid the cover back on the truck, put in the two screws and rolled the cover back. Done. Can't possibly be easier unless you use some quick-release clamps up front.
I bet I had mine off in 2 or 3 minutes and back on in the same time.

I like the Revolver, but it’s definitely not quick release. Looks like 4 bolts and you’ll need to realign the cover each time. Too much of a pain for me.

Oh yeah. I was meaning leave it on and roll it back.

This isn’t a bad option, but I didn’t include one in my order and it looks like they’re selling for way too much aftermarket. Quadratec list the Mopar roll up for almost $900.

I’m using a wheel chock that attaches to the bulkhead bed rail, so I need to either use a super light soft roll cover or remove it. Preferably remove it.

I have/had the Bestop tonneau. It's actually for sale since I got a topper. Takes 5 mins to remove- I had to remove it when I got the topper installed. Too bad you're in NC, otherwise I'd cut you a sweet deal.
