I just ordered a cover from "www.peragon.com" for my truck. It will not hold any ATV's on it, but it is lockable and/or easily removed to carry ATVin bed.

Will let you know how the cover works. Should have around mid July. Based on their ad cover will not support the weight of ATV's on it. But you are supposed to be able to remove very easily if you need the full bed. Also, can be used in the semi open position.

Got my cover delivered yesterday and hope to get installed this weekend. Will let you know how it works.

I have completed installation and posted some pictures, just waiting for their approval.
Cover went on ok, then just had to adjust. Pictures # 1 shows cover fully open, Picture # 8 is fully closed. Looks like I will be able to put ATV in bed without removing the cover by leaving the tailgate down. I think the cover looks really good and should add to my gas mileage.

I believe I saw a test of a folding aluminum cover, 3 piece, which is claimed to be strong enough to haul ATV's on top of the cover. I can't find any info on this unit. Does anyone have any info?
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for a good bedcover, let me know. My Access cover velcro keeps failing and I'm tired of the soft cover because looking for more security. I do need a cover that is easy to remove and I don't care for the roll-up covers (at least not till I exhaust all other possibilities.
Ultimately, I would like a camper shell, but the thought of removing it to haul an ATV or dirt bike doesn't thrill me.

Thanks. The cover I saw had 3 sections, but was claiming the ability to haul 2 ATVs.

Rescue - Thanks. That might be the same company but I don't recall for sure. I know the cover I saw was a flip fold type cover, 3 section with each section the same size and the sections were connected by piano type hinges with a rubber seal between sections. The edges were square rather than tapered and underneath was a 1" tubular aluminum frame.
Diamondbak may be the company and this may be an improved version.
The other cover mentioned by Uncle is interesting too. Uncle, let us know how it works.

I know exactly what you are talking aboutSaw a broshure on it last week at a local truck dealer. I'll try and see if I can get a website from them. Right now, I don't remember the name of who made it either. It was pretty sweet

Uncle, I like that paragon folding coverI'm thinking about getting a 5th wheel. Which means I need to get rid of my camper shell. Other sliding covers take up about 8-10 inches of bed roomI see this one folds up flat against the bed wall

MrSummit, your very welcomeI like that Paragon tooDon't think they would support 2 quads though
