Well I have had a soft top cover and absolutely hated the uninstall and install of the soft that's just personally
I have had a fiberglass tonneau cover on a tacoma and did not like it at all I actually took it off. It was like there was no room toward the cab
Currently I have the pace Edwards roll back and lock cover and love it. They are heavy and expensive but they are worth it
Mine is kinda old so some water gets in toward the tailgate but when I first got it it seal great!
I highly recommend the roll and lock

I guess I just like the lightest simplest possible.... of course all indiviual preference.

I never noticed any +/- as far as mpg goes either.
I never saw it, but I think Mythbusters or a show like it did a test on that, and from what I heard they found absolutely no benefits. Might be interesting to watch now...

I have a Pace Edward Jack Rabbit roll cover, and it's been treating me well for over 10ish years. Mine isn't water tight, but I'm sure that if I messed with it I could get it to seal. The box that the cover rolls in to takes up a nice chunk of the bed, but that doesn't bother me, it actually gives me a reason not to haul **** when people ask It's fairly heavy, but not as heavy as a hard cover if I'm not mistaken. It's totally lo profile which is what I was going for, and it locks. I used to have a Pace Edwards tailgate handle lock/solenoid, but after 2 solenoids seized up, I trashed it.

Checkmate makes a fairly lightweight flush cover that looks pretty cool IMO, might be something to look in to...

No mpg gains for me btw...

David, you saw my roll and lock when I bought the tires from you. It probably weighs about 70 lbs. It only takes up 12x12 inches in the bed when it is rolled up.

I have a Lund tri fold. It's a soft thick black canvas that is 100% water tight and removal/install takes 2mins. Plus if you need to haul something you can fold it up and buckle it in place. Plus i got it free from a Lund promotion on here.
