Tonneau has seen lots of mixed results on different trucks, but usually won't hurt much if at all.
I was looking at a 100XQ. Straight back then curves at the tailgate.
Are you saying this will give me worse MPG then nothing at all?

Right now I don't have the time or tools to make an aerodynamic cap like what was done in commercially-produced-aerodynamic-pickup-bed-cap-583.html
I didnt read all 40+ pages, but didnt see anything about it being produced yet.

So unless a company makes an angled one with window and hinged door, my current options right now would been something like a leer (open to other company s if there's something better) or a tonneau.
