Right now it's wide open, but I am thinking about a soft roll up cover.
I have plans for my truck and I will likely get one if theirs enough left from my income tax return.

I have had a soft roll top and a hard one. Both were good, but I prefer the hard as it won't puncture as easily.

Mine is wide open. I like the look and like being able to have easy access to the bed.

Originally I voted for a cap. I still have one, but removed it to see if might be a source of magnifying the drone from my exhaust. I have a Truxedo LoPro QT soft tonneau on it now, but will put the cap back on for winter.

It's open with the tail gate on for now. May add a headache rack to mount my lights and antennas. Use the vehicle at traffic accidents and you can't be sure the Lookie Lou's are paying attention!

My bed is rusting through.
I suppose I should get a patch panel for when I decide to remove the job boxes.
