Great news! I figured they would have like most other manufacturers. Also would not be hard to custom order one to fit if the side rails are like most trucks

Not a truck owner presently. In fact never owned a flatbed truck. This seems great for security and safety. will it be lockable?

Truck tonneau covers come in a wide array of functionality. I would fully expect them offer both soft and hard (more secure) covers. All tonneau’s are lockable if the tailgate is lockable.

Lockable is relative on a vinyl tonneau cover. Think about it.

I always had one to keep my truck bed clean and keep stuff from blowing out. Also looks much better on a low bed truck people can see in

I hope they make storage boxes that fit snugly around the tire wells in the bed and it creates a flat surface for drywall and/or plywood

Well, of course. Common sense tells you it's not some sort of locked vault, but could be a deterrent. If someone wants into your vehicle badly enough, they'll get in. That also makes me wonder if it will have a basic alarm system, and if the SUV option is added and someone opens the tailgate or breaks the glass, if it would trigger the alarm like perhaps the doors will.

This is great news for me. I was on the fence on the truck (I hate SUV's), so when I saw this post, I went ahead and put a deposit down on the pickup.

Leer makes an excellent quad-fold for the maverick. Hopefully the slate will be similar.
