I've been really kickin the idea of buying a tonneau cover, at first I wanted a undercover but I think if I ever needed to hall something large I would hate to have to go home an remove the cover.
So then a folding type might fit the bill. My Line-x goes far over the rail so anything I choose would need to either cover that or be flush mount inside the bed....
I have the Mopar version of the fold-a-cover. I like it and have gotten many compliments on it. Works with over-the-rail spray ons and under-the-rail plastic bed linings.
There might be some quick pics in my gallery. The link I provided was not a Mopar, but another brand that makes the same thing. If you go to Mopar's accessory website, look under bed cover, hard, folding. Should be in there somewheres.
Don't remember, had it financed when I bought the truck. Go the the Mopar site, click Ddoge accessories. Choose the truck, 2005 Ram 1500/2500/3500. Shop for other Dodge accessories. Choose exterior, tonneau covers, hard, folding. I guess that's what I paid, I might have gotten it a little cheaper. But that's it. See if the fold-a-cover is cheaper. Either one, they lock, lock the tailgate, and can be removed. I moved a fridge without having to take the cover off. They're 100% water proof, but I'm cool with that.
The side supports sit on top of the rail, and use the 4 square holes for support. There may be some drilling in between, but not sure. The lock sits about 4" into the bed.
I also have the fold a cover on my Ram. Do a search on line and you should be able to get one for around $525 delivered.
I have been happy with mine and would not hesitate to recommend one. Nice locking function that works with the stock non-locking tail gate handle. My issue was being able to lock stuff in the back and still move it easily if I needed to haul something big.
I don’t think the rail seems to get in the way for normal use. Compared to the video link you posted… the fold a cover would take up less width of the bed because it attaches to the top of the rail… not the inside. The black rail matches the black line on the bottom of the windows very well also. I am not a fan of the edge of the Line X showing. I am still deciding how to get my Line X done… probably wont get it over the rail.
It looks nice, and if I had the money, I would prolly switch covers...I like the pace edwards, but the fact that the box takes up as much room as it does...it makes the bed a might small...
