My truck is a flareside but at least u can see what the soft Truxedo cover looks like. Its a little expensive but I love it. Its very easy to install- 2 side rails and 6 mounting clips. Cover is held down by industrial velcro. Im very happy with it. Cover rolls up in about 30 seconds and is held down by 2 straps. This cover keeps the bed dry when it rains/snows. When it snows u just have to be careful and remove the snow bc of the weight on the cover.

I was thinking about getting a truxedo for my crew cab fleetside wondered how they worked. It does not look like yours comes out over the top of the bedsides just want to make sure it does not leak.

I did not want to go over the rail because of the ladder bar. As long as you cover the stake holes with plastic covers, it will not leak. The velcro seals very good.
