Ok, traded in the Explorer today and picked up the new F150 extended cab/short bed, with a small V-8. Seems to be quite a number and range of bed covers available and am curious what are the pro's & con's. From what I'm see, I'm think cheep $250 snap on just to keep things dry or a full blown cap which I can remove when I need to for landscaping supplies etc. I'm leaning towards the cap, but how quickly do the newer ones come off, two man job? Is there a distinct advantage on the cap for mileage, due to less air drag etc?
