Can't say enough about these two products. The American Roll Cover is a retractable tonneau cover from TruckCoversUSA. It's fairly expensive but so worth it. It retracts into the canister that's next to the cab. When you pull it out it will lock in place every 12 inches, so if you need to haul something taller than the bed you can still do so. Completely waterproof thanks to the drainage system. Haven't stood on it yet but I believe they claim it will hold 500 lbs on top. It has a keyless entry system so instead of having to worry about the keys for the lock on top, you can simply lock and unlock your tailgate. It has a little latch you pull with the tailgate open that retracts the cover.

The BedRug is amazing, too. I've stained it several times already and all it takes is a quick trip to the self-serve and any stain pressure washes right out. It dries completely in a few hours and is very soft. Great for hauling about anything. Also good to sleep in when camping out for football tickets. :D

Bedrugs are great. I know several people who have had one in for a good while. They are even fine without a topper or bed cover. Sun and water just don't seem to hurt em at all.

That's a good looking cover, It blends in so well that I didn't realize that you even had one when I looked at your pics earlier. Nice.:thumbs:

Yep both these are quality products. The customer service at TruckCoversUSA is incredible, too. I've had the cover for a few months now, and a few weeks ago I noticed it wouldn't catch when I pulled it out. I looked and there was a little arm that got bent somehow (no idea how, but obviously my fault). I called them and instead of telling me no or sending me just the arm they sent me a whole new locking mechanism for free!

Looks good! I may have to get me one of these. I just have a rubber mat in mine.

Go for it. Man the BedRug is amazing. The main reason I got mine was because I had a cheap drop-in liner (original owner put in). It wouldn't allow proper fitment of the sides of the bedcover so I pulled it out. When I did I noticed that it wore the paint completely off of the wheel wells and in several other places on the bed.

So I threw some black rustoleum on the worn paint before I installed the BedRug. No more wearing out the paint and potentially causing rust. It's amazing. Stuff only slides around back there if I'm hauling tail everywhere and taking sharp corners.
