I have an Extang railed tonneau cover, which I had cut and trimmed to fit
around the bed/light bar. I have had no problems with it sagging. I have had
several inches of snow piled on it and have even had an engine block in the
bed of the truck roll and rub the underside of it while driving. No problems
yet. It cost me a couple of hundred for the cover and another $75 to have an
ulpolstry shop trim it the truck.
