Tonneau Covers

[Creekbum]

Looking to add a Tonneau cover to my Trail Boss... Just looking for help and opinions on the different types and manufacturers. Thank you... also, pictures would be great!

I have the soft roll up cover being delivered today. Purchased from the GM accessories website.

I went with a color matching solid cover. I was a little worried about it, not being able to carry "bigger items" but so far it has not been an issue and kept me from having friends ask me to help move them LOL.

I love the look of it as well.

I purchased this one. I havent had any issues thus far and it has been water tight so far.

Some years ago, I watched an in-depth test of trucks with nothing on the bed, a tonneau cover, and a camper shell.

All tests in the video I watched showed that trucks without anything on the bed had the best mileage… which surprised me.

Must be truck specific or something!

Thanks for the input. That is good info.

it is called uplift, the air rolls off the cab and swirls right at the tailgate.

i recall back in the 80's, they offered a cab mounted duck tail style spoiler...you could lay a shop rag in the bed and it would not move as the air was directed over the tailgate just enough.

when adding a bed cover, probably more so on longer beds...you get more down force onto the cover thus increasing pressure on the road...therefore, more drag

I don't have a retractable, but I do have a Hard Cover Tonneau by Real Truck. I purchased the "RealTruck UnderCover ArmorFlex Hard Folding Tonneau Cover". It ran me just over $1300 with tax and shipping. I really like it.
