Do they really save gas? Some claim 5-10% better fuel economy.

 

not sure how much they save.....but it will save you on gas. Makes you feel like you have more horse power too. I put the peragon retractable cover on my ram, locks too! check out the site..... www.peragon.com

 

I have a Re-Trax cover, I kinda doubt 5% - 10%...
maybe 2%.

 

If you are near marlyland I'm looking to get rid of mine

 

Worth the money just to be able to keep things dry you hual home on rainy days. plus they do save fuel mine was worth right at 1 mpg on average and that is over 8-10 tanks of fuel.. everytime I roll it up and leave it rolled up for a tank I can see the differance. Do the math 20 gallons of fuel at 3.89 a gallon should pay for its self in less than 6 months if you drive the truck much..

 

I dont use mine just for driving around town...i use my bed to much and its a pain in the ***. (also i live in AZ so it rains like 3 times a year here) but i have driven my truck cross country several times and noticed considerable savings having the cover on. If im going on a road trip i put it on other wise it sits in the garage.

 

Mine is a soft cover and it just rolls up in seconds.. So leaving it on is easier. Hard covers are heavy and I agree a pain in the back to put on and take off.

 

That's probably more realistic. I have an ARE fiberglas tonneau. Makes the truck a four-door car with a HUGE trunk. If I need to haul somethin' that won't fit, I use my trailer.

 

My truck already had a Pace Edwards cover in it when I bought it so I don't know about it saving gas. I love the capability keeping stuff in the bed dry, and if I ever need to haul something bigger, it rolls up out of the way.

 

I have a zebra soft cover and I love it. If I had the money I would get a topper. What kind of topper are you getting rid of kossuth? I live near Fort Washington.
