What bed cover would you recommend or not that could be left on the truck while towing and also when not towing and the hitch is still in the bed. Thanks.

I have the Bak Flip by BAK industries. It was reasonalbly priced and fairly water proof. I does not take up any space in the bed at all when flipped open making for more storage in the bed for chairs, etc. Once the truck is unhitched, I can close the cover and lock the gate. Good luck. pcm

I use a Roll N Lock cover. Roll it back when towing; roll it closed when unhitched. You do not eveb know the hotch or anything else was in the bad of the truck.

I use a Pace Edwards Jack Rabbit cover. I like their customer service help as well.
Rolls up and out of the way when towing, and closes and locks when not.

We have a Fold-a-cover. It works well. It is robust and can take damage and still work. (personal experience  ) I bought it originally for our '03 Silverado and it's now on our '06. It is a bit on the heavy side and doesn't totally weather proof the box, but it is reliable and simple.

Ditto, the Fold-A-Cover. I am on my second one and am totally happy. Oh and mine is nearly totally water tight when closed. Hitch is almost always installed in the truck and the cover closes over it easily.

I've got a soft fold-up cover by Rugged Cover.No rails system,east on and off and used with or without 5er hooked up.When the 5er is hooked up you still have a couple feet by the cab to keep fire wood...covered up.

I also have the BakFlip. I have an early one that took a couple of mods to correct some errors in it, but now works just great.
I have seen the Fold-a-cover and think it will be my next one.
One good part about the BakFlip is that it will fold up flat against the rear window, allowing full use of the bed. The fold-a-cover has to be removed (not that big a deal though).
The Fold-a-cover is ready made for their tool box and is great for towing a fiver. It also seems to remove easily when you want to use the full bed. And, it seems to be designed for us fiver haulers the way it folds up.
