This time I'm going for a Bak Revolver X2 tonneau. There's no perfect tonneau out there but this seems to be the closest for my needs.

Now I need to figure out the electronics. Sync 3/touch screen/nav/etc?:scream:

Can you give me the low-down on the level kit? I want to level mine off as well. More ground clearance would be nice... :)

I ordered a 2" kit from eBay for under 100 bucks. The truck will be almost level but it will retain about 1/2" rake which is what I want. I'm also installing 285 65 20 BFG AT KO2's which will add about another 3/4" of GC. i'M NOT DOING A TUNER YET AS i WAS ADVISED BY MY BUD AT fORD TO HOLD OFF SO i ORDERED A SPEEDO CALIBRATOR INSTEAD WHICH WON'T VOID THE WARRANTY. OOPS sorry about the caps.

I ended up making a switch to a new Sierra a few months ago. Always owned Dodge until now. Test drove all brands, several times. Got very close to pulling the trigger on an F150 but just couldn't stomach the price. $5000 extra to go to a crew cab? Or you get the supercab where you still have to open the front doors to open the back doors? Come on Ford. 1996 Dodge Ram called, they want their rear door design back.
Also priced all out with my insurance company and the F150 was the highest, GM the cheapest. Ram in between. After tax, ended up about $6000 cheaper than the similarly equipped F150's we'd priced out at several dealerships.
So far so good. Wife even let's me drive it now and then.

Must be a Honda thing! I use my Civic for many years too but life is a lot easier (and cleaner) since I switched to truck.

I hunt with Buick and use mattress bag from U-HAUL several years. This is clean enough if you get used with that. Now I'm looking for Dodge eco diesel off lease. Never had a truck because of fuel cost, but eco diesel sounds reasonable even for every day commute.
