How does that eco diesel run? What kind of mileage are you getting empty and with the boat?

A.R.E. On mine. Matches my truck and you can stack gear to the ceiling vs only to the bed rail with the folding cover. I thought I'd make a hoist in my shop so I didn't have to leave it on all the time but I've never taken it off. I'll never have another truck without one.

Mine easy to take off and easy to put back on 2-3 minutes at most.

It's not a 3/4ton. It does what it was ment to do. 25mpg highway empty. 17mpg pulling boat at 70+. 15mpg at 80. But about 19 at 60mph. This is with my full replacement bumper. Truck will be receiving a leveling and wheels/tires. Still debating a cover vs camper. I'm mainly worries about loading my boat alone.

Diamond Back Covers...hold up to 1600lbs on top. Bad to the bone.

ARE hard shell painted to match truck. I put it on my truck for a trip to Colorado and intended to take it off when we got back. That was in 2007 and it's still on there. I can still haul just about anything I want in my bed and have a 16 foot utility trailer if needed. I've never had a bed cover but feel like it would limit my use, personally.

As anyone used a "bed step" it might would allow you to step on the tire. Then it. And the bumper to get to the boat trailer. Or I can launch at a steeper ramp and gun it! Hahaha

I had an Accent roll-up cover on my last truck (2010 Tundra) and a Gator roll-up cover on my new truck (2014 Tundra). Both were/are very good covers but not 100% leak proof. I guess there could be a security issue but in the five years I have had a roll-up cover I've never had a problem.

I wanted a roll-up cover because I haul bigger/taller stuff (yard waste/brush and an occasional appliance, my chipper/shredder, small lawn tractor/mower) in my truck and a hard top limits you in what you can put in the bed (at least the ones I have looked at).

I also have this one and like it a lot. Once in a while I wish I could stand on it though. Water tight and really easy to take on and off.

I have an Undercover and it is well worth the money. Of course I virtually never need to haul something that will not fit underneath it. On the other hand, if I had it to do over, I would have bought the full camper shell. There have been enough times that I could have used more room which would have offset the additional cost.

Put a BakFlip on my 09 Dodge when I bought it new. Never had any issues with it and launch by myself quite often. Flip the cover up and lower the tailgate before launching, step on the back tire into the bed and then into the boat. Never get my feet wet. The cover is a hard cover that can only be opened when the tailgate is open. Have a locking tailgate so contents in the bed are pretty well secured. If I need to haul large items I just flip the cover up against the cab and lock it in place. You lose the ability to see out your back window with it up like this but whats in the bed usually blocks view anyway so not a big thing. You can also remove the cover in about 2 min. if need be.

I have a bed cover on my f150, not sure of the brand because it came with the vehicle, but I love it. I can lock all of my truck up and leave my gear in my truck all the time. Launching alone has never been a problem for me, especially if I let the tailgate down.

BakFlip F1 on my 2013 Tundra. My 11 year old daughter and I installed it. Easy install and seems to be a very good option.

What did you get?
