Bruce, is that ATV sitting on top of a hard tonneau cover?? We have a Dodge Ram 1500 and would like to get a tonneau cover also, but couldn't figure out how we were going to carry our bikes in the truck with it on.

Becky,

Its a Diamondback cover and it's rated to carry 1800#. Best mod I've done to the truck as it's super handy. I have bicycle mounts on it and you can still open the back with the bikes on to access cargo. They have different tops, you probably don't need the 1800# model for bikes.
