I got my ExTang from a local truck shop where I paid way too much ($240: for that price I could have gotten the hinged soft cover -- I've seen the model I bought on the Web for $160 shipping included!). I was thinking that if I had any fit problems it would be easier to take it back. But, the cover fit great and was a piece of cake to
install (not really an installation, just a minor assembly and then a bolt on).
Anyway, I'm really happy with the ExTang. It's a very nice quality product. It's the one with the snaps. I've seen the snapless ones and they're pretty nice too.
There are a bunch of threads on tonneau covers; just do a
Search and you'll probably get a lot of good info.
FWIW, I didn't notice any MPG difference with the tonneau cover. I've since installed cruise control and a FlowMaster muffler and with one or some combination of those three things, I'm seeing about a 2-3 MPG increase (recently got 30 MPG on a highway trip).
