Have a look at this page re. the tailgate question.
http://www.cartalk.com/content/colum...ctober/05.html

I saw a writeup somewhere saying that whether up or down is better depends on the length of cab and/or bed - but I do like the coherent explanation in the link above.

I think a tonneau cover beats an uncovered bed, regardless of whether the gate is up or down. And an aero pickup bed cover such as you'll find discussed somewhere in this forum should beat a tonneau cover, if its well designed.
