Tonneau Cover

Most will allow covering in bed flush tool boxes. I like the soft cover because I can roll it up on the spot when I need to.

I use a bakflip F1 hard folding cover for my 2012 F250 and had one on my 2006 F250 as well.
It folds up and takes about 2-3" of your bed space at the front.
I had my 800 can-am 4 wheeler in it and had to do an emergency stop and it jumped the 4X4's I had in place to block the wheels. It hit the cover that was folded up and put a pretty good dent in it. Flipped it down and you couldn't see anything on the other side. They are tough covers.

It isn't cheap...like over $1200! Until you see it in person, it is difficult to comprehend how well made it is. The owner of the shop had one that he claimed was 2 winters old (big deal up here) and it looked new. With the tailgate open, he climbed on top of the cover and jumped up and down and the cover didn't bend, buckle or lose shape of any kind. It is pretty nice and lockable.

Not sure about the mpg savings even though we could use some of that Chem E 'learnin' to work with boundary layer theorem and flow dynamics to calculate it...
but not why I got it
A few things helped me make my decision:
1) Didn't like the exposure of 5er hitch and other things I may through in there.
2) Not knowing what I wanted for the long haul
3) ease of use
4) No need for high security in my case
led me to the Tonnopro tri-fold cover...
Amazon.com: TonnoPro Tri-Folding Soft Truck Bed Tonneau Cover- 09-12 Ford F150 6.5' Bed: Automotive
it goes in and out in < 5 minutes (only four clips that easily latch under your bed lip with no damage to vehicle)
was < $300
allows a bit of protection of the first 3rd of my bed even with the 5er hitched up so I can carry some things in front of the hitch
is low profile
Not a requirement for me to stand on my bed cover
Seems to hold up to car washes well so far...
and after our recent hail storms have seen some expensive hard covers that didn't fare too well but to each his own...
