Some call them tonneau covers. I'm looking for one, would like to know what others have and well they work. I'm looking at one that is metal and folds, Peragon is brand name. So far they don't have it for my new Ridgeline.

Both my wife and I have the metal retractable types that rollup - I highly recommend this type.
Mine is older and I don’t find a brand name. I’ll check on the wife’s brand shortly…

Funny this was brought up I've been looking at them too. I think Bakflip is probably the best you can buy, I've been eyeing cheaper versions. I'm mostly looking to keep the wind off of the items I haul in the bed, not really concerned about it being completely waterproof.
Thinking about giving this one a try on my Silverado.

I had a back flip. Worked well until I was in a hailstorm and got a dent at one of the seams and lost it’s weather resistance. It was still okay even with the pock marks all over, but I finally removed it after the back latch busted out. I probably could have fixed it, but it looked like chit from the hail and was faded and scratched up from being parked outside all this time I bought it second hand and had it on my truck for 7 years so no telling how old it was. Mine was the cheaper aluminum shell, and if I were to do over again I’d get the more premium poly skin.
I have a 2024 Honda Ridgeline. Wife and I have no need for a full-size hard-core pickup. We'll rarely haul anything more than a few bags of potting soil or an ice chest full of beer, so it works great for us. I will have to look at what Honda offers.

I've had a Peragon cover on my Power Wagon since 2012, it's been a great bed cover. The one thing that's really handy about it is you can remove it in a couple minutes if you need to haul something large in the bed.
I had an Under Cover 1pc hard bed cover on my 2007 Colorado. Great bed cover if you never haul large items in the bed. It is easily removed, but really takes two people to do it because of the size of it.

Yes, it took 30-45 minutes with simple hand tools.
I’ve got a Bakflip F1…I’d buy another.
Here’s a vid
I do not recommend the Bakbox toolbox accessory. It’s super flimsy and I definitely would not buy another.

I've had both Retrax and Roll-n-Lock and they both worked well.
The Retrax had the lock drilled out and the latch handle damaged when someone broke into it. I emailed the company looking for a new latch, the CSR told me it had a lifetime warranty and sent me the parts for free.

Thanks for the responses, but for the Ridgeline, any top that uses bed rails cuts into the space that allows the in-bed trunk to open all the way. I'm real picky that way, wanting to get full use of what I've paid for, so that kind of cover won't work. I'll go with the Honda OEM since it's the only one I've found that works the way I want it to.
