I'm looking at cover options for my bed on my new f150 and am having a hard time deciding on what to do. Currently I'm torn between the Diamondback HD or the RSI Smartcap.

Mostly just looking to keep things in the back secure (skis, golf clubs, bikes, luggage on trips).

It's rare that I have large things in the back, but when I do, I imagine it would be pretty annoying to have to take off an entire Smartcap where as the Diamondback seems easy enough to do by myself.

It also seems like with the smartcap, you'd need to have a bedslide otherwise access to the back of the bed is pretty limited. The gullwing doors negate that a little.

I'd also be adding a rack to the Diamondback HD bringing the price for each pretty much inline with each other.

Anyone make a similar decision?

ETA: Forgot to mention, I do have a RTT and use it every once in a while, hence the upgrade to the HD. Though I think I'd do it anyways since the price difference really isn't that much and you get 8 extra cleats.

Cap. Embrace the grandpa truck!

I bought a retrax rolling bed cover and really like it. It gives me more room in the bed than the toolbox I did have in it.

I had a Bakflip and went Retrax on my next truck. Went back to a Bakflip because the benefits of the Retrax didn't outweigh what you give up in bed space. Just my opinion. I'd recommend a Bedrug floor mat as well.

Short bed or long bed might make a difference for you. I have a short bed f150 and I love my truck cap but the bed is small and it does make it a pain to fit lumber or move anything long. It works great for road trips and going anywhere with kids. I have had a cap on the last two trucks (~20 years) and I think I have removed it once.
