Who can recommend a good truck cover?

Now that it just sits in the driveway all week, I think I'd like to cover it. At the very least, I'd like to do something to protect the interior from the sun.

I wash it on the weekend and, by the next weekend, it's covered with dirt (I live next to a horse trail that gets pretty dusty). Does anyone make a decent looking car/truck cover for our trucks?

I have a Noah cover from Covercraft for my 2004 dually. It costs about $240.00 if I remember correctly. It fits great and even has mirror pockets. I have had my truck almost five years and am on my second cover. In this hot Florida sun, about three years is all you can expect from a cover.

Thanks. After some googling, it looks there are two major producers of these covers (covercraft and coverking). I have a shortbed, crew cab. The covercraft menu doesn't explicitly mention this configuration with tow mirrors (just standard mirrors). I wonder if the mirror pockets are large enough for either? Oddly, they do provide for the difference in the longer wheelbase trucks.

My truck has tow mirrors, but the cover fits fine with the mirrors in the folded position. The pockets are really large and there is plenty of room. I have to fold in the mirrors to put the cover on and then fold them back out. It fits down low on the truck sides and keeps off dust and and even the rain. I am very happy the the cover.

got any info on where to find their products? Did you get it from online, or an actual store? Duallies are hard to find covers for, and I have a megacab dually, dont know if they offer a cover for that bodystyle.

I found their ad in the back of Car and Driver magazine and used their toll free number to call in my order. I ordered my first cover before the mega came out. I would imagine they have the covers for your truck as well.
