Are hard tonneau covers worth it?

Does RAM make a tonneau cover?
The Multifunction tailgate from Ram makes loading and unloading cargo easier and more convenient than ever before, but the design of the bed makes it hard for tonneau covers to fit the truck. The ProX15 combines an incredibly low profile with matte-black fabric to create a roll-up tonneau cover like no other.
What are the hard truck bed covers called?

Which is better hard or soft tonneau cover?
Both hard and soft tonneau covers will keep your belongings out of view, but hard covers take security a step further.

Do tonneau covers help gas mileage?
On average, using a tonneau cover led to a 5.7% reduction in drag. That reduced drag meant about a 1.8% increase in fuel efficiency. Even though 1.8% better gas mileage isn’t massive, it definitely makes a difference over a year of fueling up your truck.
Do tonneau covers keep water out?
The short answer to this question is, when properly installed, a tonneau cover will keep the vast majority of water from entering your truck’s bed. To describe a tonneau cover as 100% watertight or waterproof would be inaccurate, but the most you’ll usually get are a few drops intruding during a rainstorm.
Are hard tonneau covers waterproof?
Like we said before, no tonneau is perfectly watertight. A few drops will still sometimes get in around the hinge alongside the cab or through the openings around the tailgate. But this type of cover may be your best bet if you mainly care about waterproofing and don’t mind dropping big money on a tonneau.
