Default Tonneau Covers

Hey guys, in the market for a soft tonneau cover for my Ranger..come across a few possible ones, but nothing that really jumps out at me..what kind do yall have and/or recommend? Id prefer the style that rolls all the way up, and gives you easy access to the entire bed. suggestions? pics are always good too! thanks!

Not the biggest fan of trifolds, since so much is left up by the back window..yeah, i can imagine the snap style being a huge PITA lol

My original dealer installed Lund is easy to take off. Just pop off the struts from the bed, lift up and away. Presto Change-O !

Here is a full soft leather one that was on my '04 when I purchased it. I currently use a canopy, but the guy who I bought the truck from way preferred the soft cover. He also had the tailgate alarmed. Personally, I would look used before buying new. These covers are super simple to install.

I've got two different tonneaus.
On the Ranger, I've got an Access Limited. It's been on there since the day I bought the truck new in 2004. Lifetime warranty. velcro closure, and still looks good. Zero problems with it.
On the 150, I've got a Truxedo QT LoPro. Same closure, velcro, and very low profile. Same warranty.
If I wanted, I could remove either one in just a couple minutes.
Both are high quality, seal up well, and no leaks. Easy to adjust tension on either one to keep it from ballooning when driving.
Both roll up and only take maybe the first few inches of the bed length, with very minimal width of the bed lost due to the rails and clamps.
Neither are cheap, quality usually isn't either.
Years ago, I had a snap down tonneau on my '99 Ranger, and like DJ said about snapping it down, I wouldn't recommend one, just spend the extra few bucks, and get a workable solution.

Lite-Rider tonno is worth considering since it is cheaper than other rollup covers out there.
