Steve-O,

Not too sure about the cover for the bed area. One thing I'm pretty sure I don't want is the slant back. Just a personal preference.

I've had a pickup with the soft tonneau cover and it was nice to have (keep the beer cooler out of sight of the 5-0's) but was a pain to put on & off. Maybe they have better designs now.
The hard cover sounds nice too, but I'd have to see it first.

At this point I'm liking the looks of the open bed.
