Thanks for the kind words, vskid3. You could add legs to make it a table, or sit on the tailgate with your legs under the cover as a quickie picnic table, and it's just long enough to be a very steep ramp from ground to tailgate if you need to partly slide and/or partly roll something up into the bed that you just can't quite lift by yourself :-). That 1 or so mpg difference between your dad's truck and mine is why I searched so long and hard for a nice 2 wd truck instead of settling for a 4 wd that I would only use in 4 wd maybe once a decade (automakers don't have to do the epa mpg test on 3/4 ton trucks but from all the 1/2 ton data I expected 1-2 mpg better).
