Hi Roger!
For a soft roll-up style tonneau cover that fits your 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 RST Crew Cab, I recommend one of the covers I have below. I listed the 5-3/4' and 6-1/2' bed sizes as I'm still of the opinion that anything under 8' is a short bed, so I wanted to make sure I had both options covered.
5-3/4 Foot Bed:
etrailer Soft Tonneau Cover - Roll-Up - Vinyl and Aluminum # e32DR
6-1/2 Foot Bed:
etrailer Soft Tonneau Cover - Roll-Up - Vinyl and Aluminum # e56RV
If we had an option for my 2016 Silverado 1500, this is what I would go with. The price is really hard to beat and the lifetime warranty is very nice to have.
What are you going to be keeping in your bed? I tend to just have some survival type gear as you never know what can happen out on the road.
