Question:

Will this cover fold out of the way to use a 5th wheel hitch? If not any other covers that would.

On the TruXedo Deuce Tonneau cover # TX771601 the part of the cover at the front of the bed can fold back but it does not fold from the back to the front. It can roll up from the back to the front though and you would be able to use a 5th wheel hitch.

Ideally, for a folding cover, you would want one that folds up out of the way completely like the BAKFlip G2 # BAK26102. When folded up all the way it will stand up right behind the truck cab.

Another option and the most expensive is a retractable cover such as # 311-BEC5569 or # RT80425. With these covers there is a storage cylinder at the front of the bed that the cover rolls into so the bed is clear. They're kind of awesome!
