A cover for the bed of a pickup truck provides a front rigid panel fastened to the front wall of the pickup bed, at least one intermediate rigid panel attached to the front rigid panel by a first transverse hinge, and a rear rigid panel attached to the intermediate rigid panel by a second transverse hinge. The rear rigid panel has a tailgate locking lip flaring downwardly and outwardly to prevent the tailgate from opening. In the fully covering position, the pickup bed cover provides a water-resistant, locked cargo area. In the partially covering position, the rear rigid panel and, optionally, the intermediate rigid panel fold forward to permit access to the cargo bed. Another pickup bed cover according to the applicant's invention provides a frontmost rigid panel fastened to a toolbox mounted in the pickup bed, at least one intermediate rigid panel attached to the front rigid panel by a first transverse hinge, and a rearmost rigid panel attached to the intermediate rigid panel by a second transverse hinge.
