I got the 2001 F150 SuperCrewcab (four door) don't know if it's the same as yours, but I got the Tonneau cover for the back. It doesn't have snaps, but rather it's more a tongue-in-groove deal where a hard rubber lip on the top fits inside a groove fits inside a plastic runner attached to the top edge of the bed along the sides. It keeps the bed bone dry, except for a little space where the tailgate meets the gasket on the cover in back (it had to do with the way they installed it and I wasn't wasting time going back to Ford for them to make it right. It's not that neat to roll back because of that rubber lip, and tougher to put back in cold weather, but I have found it worth the money. My rods are two piece so they fit broken down, but I have found with a piece of pipe insulation around the rods I can close the gate on them (carefully and slowly) and have the tips sticking out the back. Only problem then is people walking into the tips which is why I'm looking into a rooftop rack solution (another thread) only Ford doesn't make a permanent roof rack. I will say it is pretty durable, as one day I found my six year old using it like a trampoline and nothing got bent or broken. Hope this helped.
