Check Diamondback out. Not cheap though...I recently bought my second Tundra. Had the first one for 12 years. The new one is a 2017 SR5 with 6.5' bed and bed rails.
What is the best cover? preferably not soft.
False, Diamondbacks are still being produced.The best tonneau is, sadly, no longer being made.
Way, way too bulky.False, Diamondbacks are still being produced.
All kidding aside the diamondbacks are nice but really overpriced.
Way, way too bulky.
I went with an Undercover Flex on my 2017 DC SR5 with factory installed OEM bed rails.

I picked a new Fold a Cover off Craigslist for half price a few months ago and got it installed a few weeks ago. So you're not the only one anymore! Bummed to hear about the hail resistance though. That was one of my main concerns since it hails here all the damn time. All in all, I really like it. Do you have the tailgate weather strip? Wondering if that's worth it or not.I went with the Fold-a-Cover, it was the only folding tonneau cover I could find, other than the Diamondback, that couldn't be opened in two seconds with a coat hanger. It was the only one under $1k for sure.
Pros: Folds open from the front or back and has four sections so it locks open with 3/4 of the bed open, and folds flat when locking open so you can still see out the back. More secure than 99% of the lighter duty folding tonneaus out there. Still removes fairly easily with a small wrench if you need the whole bed temporarily. Locks front and back independently, and a tool box is available that fits under the front. Priced competitively with the BakFlips and similar.
Cons: Not 100% waterproof, I get very small trickles in big enough rain storms. Not much, and only at the corners, but it's there. It dimpled in a hail storm, not sure I can complain much about that but it's there. They don't sell through dealers, direct only, so you'd have to pay extra for install if you need it(I put mine in, not a big deal).
FYI I don't get paid or have any affiliation with the company. I think I'm one of the few on here who have one.
