I don't think the cover makes any difference. That being said, I have had a Bak X4S since the first week of owning the truck and 63,000 miles later I still have an all time efficiency of 2.3 mi/kWh.

A X4S was also my first purchase. Had it for about 18 months. I mainly got it because I liked the look of a covered bed better and it beats having to push snow out of the bed the once every 5-10 years we get any. Can't say I've noticed any discernible difference in mileage which lines up with every test I've seen. Shame mythbusters didn't do this test when they did their tailgate up v down. I averaged 2.2 at 60mph and 1.8 at 75 the month before I got it and still get the same. A brick is a brick is a brick after all.

Asked chatgpt to give me a more aerodynamic lightning. I ran out of tries to make it 4 door :cwl:

I started covering my truck beds for one single reason, to keep asshats from using my truck as their garbage can. Too fking lazy to keep holding that empty until they get to an actual trashcan, no they just drop it in the bed. Infuriates me would be describing it lightly.
