Just priced one for ~$650.00.

Can't remember the make but it goes up and down on piston hinges and is removable.

Weighs only 58 pounds and has two side by side locks.

No-drill installation too.

How much did you pay for your hard tonneau cover?

Also, how much extra mileage did your truck gain after installation?

This guy claims I'll pick 2 mpg with it.

Thanks,

DT.

i cant comment of real world exp being ive never had one. But ive ran without a tail gate with no added bennifit And i remember reading a study from some univerity( maybe someone can remember were i read this at haha) That shows more drag created by the cover.

My wifes 600 shorty has a hard fiberglass cover painted to match.........looks great and she has a wooping 4500 miles so far and gets 19 mpg doing 70 avg back and forth to work, cant say what it got before because its been on there from day one.

19 MPG at 70 is great mileage.

I have 2600 miles on mine and average 19.2 with most miles on the highway at 60.

Thanks for the info!

i have a long bed with no cover i drive 75 on the way to work unless there is traffic and i get 19.4 according to the overhead. I have tryed driving into work with my tailgate down and removed, for a few days i swear it was helping, overhead was saying 21.5, then other days it was back to 20, so i dunno, i guess tail wind head wind traffic... dont know, but i sill want to get a cover....

DT, sounds like the Undercover tonneau. I have one,and am quite happy with it. Very light, quick and easy to remove. Comes with a couple of hooks to hang it on the wall when not in use. Good seal on it. Easy install. Haven't noticed a significant mileage increase.

Funny you should mention the Undercover Tonneau SteveZ, I just ordered one. Glad to hear someone else is happy with it.

Easy on-off (one person), 58 lbs and very strong.

$700.00 installed (probably too much but I need it).

It'll be on next Friday, I'm psyched!

Thanks!
