Question on Tonneaus
Hi all first post here.
I have a new 2005 fx4 screw which is white with the two tone dark shadow grey secondary color. Plus a bed extender.
I am thinking of buying a tonneau however my first concern is color while I really like the white too much of it might make my truck appear more as a work truck. So what do you guys think about going with a dark shadow grey tonneau? or even black for that matter. I think my truck would not look as good with a giant white lid on the back and I'm concerned it might look like a pickup with an unmatched canopy if I go with the dark grey.
Another concern is will the bed extender still flip over with the top up? Also if the tail board is down with the extender out will the tonneau close and stay closed?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply,
In the galleries I see lots of black Tonneau but only in soft top versions like this
https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=64969&width=0
or this
https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=40527&width=0
What I wan't is a locking hard top version
My truck looks just like this
https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=42691&width=0
What I personaly don't care for is this look
https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=54622&width=0
So now I'm looking at this one, only I'll go with the black powder coated rails like the one on this chevy.

So what do you guys think of that look? and does anyone know of Mountain Top Tonneau are they quality etc?
Thanks for any replies.

BTW nice truck you have there personaly I think the flare side look the best but 4 full doors was what I really wanted. I plan on doing a 2 inch front leveling and going with the bushwacker fender flares to match the two tone dark shadow grey. With the black retrax and yet to be installed mud gauards bug and rain deflectors plus a bed rug I figure I'll have a nice looking truck but it would be hard to beat the outside appearance of a flairside.
Maybe ford will offer 4 full doors on a flairside for 2006.
I'll post pics once my rig is tricked out.

Still,,,, I love the look nothing at all in the market compares to it. One sharp looking truck.
