>Why have a pick up if you're gonna keep the bed sealed with a cover?
1. So when you go to the dump, you can stuff the back of it with your
trash and not have to worry about it blowing out.
2. Gas mileage is better because it makes it more aerodynamic than the
open bed.
3. When you need to move something or carry a lot of stuff, you don't
have to worry about it getting rained on or snowed on.
4. People steal stuff out of the open bed. A locking cover, although
obviously not a complete theft deterrent, does slow down some people.
I've had the same pickup with an open bed, a tonneau cover and now
with a full fiberglass cap and I wouldn't trade the full fiberglass
cap for anything.
