With the wide range of truck bed accessories on the market for your truck bed, a tonneau cover with quick access can be beneficial to you.

One of these tonneau covers allows you to un-snap any part of the cover, giving you access to your cargo in seconds. Another option available to you would be a tri-fold cover.
When fast, full access of your cargo matters most, choose a retractable tonneau cover. These are one of the most expensive options out there, but the benefits fully out weigh the cost. At the push of a button, you have full access to your cargo.
For use of the storage areas near the wheel wells, the back of the bed and the tailgate, a hard tonneau cover will meet your needs. Most of these models latch at the tailgate, and lift on gas shocks. These are not a good option for those out there that need full access to the bed. They are heavy, and can be cumbersome.
