Im debating getting a tonneau cover for my '06 F150 and this one seems pretty good because it doesnt have snaps.
It gets cold here and Ive heard stories about how its nearly impossible to snap the tonneau on in cold weather.
How's the price? Can the same one be found somewhere else cheaper?
Do these things really improve gas mileage?

I have the truxedo on my 05 Supercrew. It looks awesome and works as advertised. I don't use the bed a lot, but it's a slick system.
Price was around $490 w/tax installed. No shopping around because it was a xmas present.

1) Link is not working
2) I used to borrow a Chevy before I bought my Ford. She had a cover with snaps and rods going down the box in 3 places. In the winter here (up to -30 sometimes) I could not get the snaps to snap So if you live in a cold climate snaps are not going to work well. You are correct regarding the snaps

I've had this one on since July with no problems...purchased off ebay for approx same price. Easy to install and weathers well, no snaps all velcro. All of that and it looks good on the truck

Im seriously considering spending some of my tax return on it.
I really should put that money towards fixing my POS Mustang but I like the truck alot more than the car. I kinda hate the car lately.

I got one of these. it has adjustments on it so you can tighten it in the summer and loosen it in the winter if needed, real good setup. I dont know about the price, i went to a local shop and got the item for like $350 installed on my 5.5' bed. make sure it is for your size bed though, they had to reschedule once because they had the wrong sized shipped to them. I would recommend this to someone though, I love mine.
edit: not that the price is bad for that auction, i just dont know what they charged me for installing, i just wanted to know the price total with the install.
