Thanks for the heads up on these. Though I would love a hard cover( fiberglass) they are so expensive and you can't really put anything big in the bed. They look sick though

Mobil-1 5-20, Fram Double Guard.

Why would you want a bed cover....it's a truck...you're suppose to put stuff in the bed. Get it lined and drool over how pretty it looks every time you get in. Show it off!

Not knock'n' those who have one or want to get one...but if you're gonna cover it, why didn't you get an SUV? <---especially if you're gonna go with a hard cover. To me it defeats the whole idea of having a bed.

Please dont flame me on this. It's just my opinion.

I love the look of a hard cover, but like you said kinda defeats the purpose of a truck. I already have a Bed Liner in it, just want a cover that I can take on and off easily as 90% of the times I wouldnt have anything in the bed. Plus its good for gas milage, which is the real reason for it.

I agree with you for the most part. I love the look of a truck with the tailgate down and showing off the bed (( If you have a toolbox that looks nice )) I personally have my rolled up 50% of the time because of that, but that extra mpg always come in handy so for long trips I put it down. And for oil I use 5w-20 Ford motorcraft

I've made up my mind and will be going with a roll up cover as I want to retain access to the bed. Just need to figure out which one.

Seems most people are using the oem oil, so I'll do the same. You can get it at any auto parts store or only from ford?
