Half-tonneau > full tonneau.

If I decided to keep it, maybe I could put an aluminum flat bed on it! Would be a fun project to build myself maybe. But only if it helps MPG.
What I'm not hearing is the use case, IOW, intended use. If you make a flatbed, You could use a hydraulic lift and side-boards and haul units of bark-mulch.

With a half-tonneau you can have lockable storage at the tailgate, instead of a contractor job-box at the front of the bed.



You could take a camper shell and slant-chop it and have the 90% equivalent of a custom aeroshell. Essentially just fill in the pizza truck.
