First, of course you need to ascertain specifically how you use your pickup and its truck bed. Do you use it often enough? Are its pockets shallow or deep? Do you need just an affordable one? Buying a tonneau cover should be given much thought and consideration. You should not just buy one because you thought it would look great on your ride like how it looks on other pickup trucks.
