Has anyone noticed their gas mileage increasing after buying one of these? Im not in the market just curious because of the wind resistance it would cut down on.

It is a good selling point to the wife or girlfriend, that is how I got the OK to purchase mine. but I have not noticed any real MPG gain with mine. I have the truXedo truXport Tonneau cover and love it easy to roll up and adjustable so that it is allways nice and tight. with easy release levers that combined with locking tailgate make the bed pretty secure.

I have a Bak-Flip G2 on mine. Couldn't be happier with it. Folds up to the cab so you can use the entire bed. Has held up great for almost 2 years now. My truck sits out in the sun down here in SC and there's no warping or fading. I'm in and out of it almost everyday for work, still works like the day I put it on, and keeps my bed bone dry.

After install:







And here's some after I beat it to death for a year:

I have the same one too and I love it!! I dont haul big items, and if I need to I can borrow my dads utility trailer. I like the most because its a locking cover and when you are hauling around $35-$40k in equipment for work it just adds a little reasurrance.
