Hi Ranger Forums,
I need some help deciding which tonneau cover to get for my new Ranger. I want something quite sturdy and it needs to lock, as I frequent areas that may be unsavory and I'll be carrying quite a lot of stuff in the bed. That leads to me believe a rolling, locking, hard cover is probably my best option. The folding ones just seem like you could pop them open too easy (but please correct me here if I'm wrong).
I'm considering the Embark, directly from Ford. I'm also considering the Retrax One MX, which is a lot cheaper.
A couple of questions:

A couple of questions:
- Is there a significant difference between these two? Or am I really just paying extra for a Ford logo?
- Will both of these lock and secure with a descent amount of protection?
- Are they both waterproof?
- Are both fairly easy to install for a capable DIY girl?
- Does anyone strongly recommend one over the other and if so, why?
- Some Ford dealers are offering the Embark at a 20% discount, which is a lot! Do these go on sale often and can I use the sale price from one Ford dealer to get the same deal at another, even if the other dealer is in another state?
- Should I get Line-X before or after getting the tonneau?
- Finally, would this one work just as good as these other two? It doesn't seem to lock and it looks soft.
