    I like to camp out in the back of mine. Hard top cap and truck bed air mattress. If I need to haul tall stuff, I have a trailer.
    A cap is a good way to haul the most camping equipment too. Heavy stuff on the bottom, sleeping bags and clothes on top.
    It really depends on what you're going to do with it. I like the looks of naked, but hate shoveling my bed;)

    I really like my matching Topper. It keeps things out of the weather and is a little more secure.

    Love my EFX soft trifold. 2/3ds of the bed is accessible in 5 seconds, and I can take the whole thing off in about a minute.

    I did it again. Got tired of paying truck payments and gas and traded in for a 2015 Honda Accord Sport since I enjoyed my 2013 Sport so much.
    Voted for naked and soft tonneau.

    I like the versatility of an open bed but sometimes I would like to keep stuff concealed and/or out of the weather.

    I have the access vanish cover. It sits .5" above the bed sides. It rolls up to give 100% full access to the bed. The only thing that kinda sucks is, you can't use the factory cleats on the rail. But I ordered some extra d-rings to mount under the rail mounts. The bed stays pretty dry aswell

    Originally voted hard tonneau since I had an undercover tonneau. Now I'm awaiting the arrival of my Flippac.

    I think it depends totally on use. I have the Trifecta POS on there now until I can find a Snugtop shell at a good price. I want the dry space for hauling things. If I needed to only ever haul things that could get wet I wouldn't have any cover at all.

    ive got the undercover tonneau on my bed. very light and easy to remove if need be locks to keep things secure, better gas milage. only a gallon or two per mile but thatll add up over time. i had a soft toneau on another truck ...it was ok too but eventually it got spotted from the rain and looked like hell. ive also had a fiberglass tonneua on a truck too...it was ok just real heavy and after a few yrs the fiberglass showed some cracks in it where the top was curved..........not really bad but it still bugged me . hope that helps ya.

    I just got an Undercover Tonneau about a month ago off a guy on Craigslist.

    I love it, and it's already saved me some sogginess here in Seattle.
