So I need some opinions guys. I have had my ARE hard top tonneau cover for 5yrs or so now. I do like the fact that I can simply through something in the bed and lock it and know its secure. But after having it off this last time at the track, I'm not to sure if I want to put it back on the truck or just sell it. It removes about 200lbs of weight with it off and makes things much more fun to drive with the lesser weight. But it gets rid of being able to fill the truck with stuff I want locked up and not kept in the cab. If I do decide to sell it, what's the going rate for a used locking hard top?

Wow.. 200lbs eh? I looked at them on google images and they don't look like they are too flexible for carrying big loads. I know I would miss my retrax if I took it off for a while... I keep my toolbox and a few other items back there (Straps/chains/etc) that are nice to keep under cover... I don't know if I'd feel the same love for a fiberglass cover.

I would agree with 300-500. I bought a used one for my 05 and paid around 400 for it.

Going to have to think about this one for a bit. I like being able to lock it up but I like it lighter. I really picked up the cover when I was using my truck for work and carrying around a few thousand in equipment so I could lock it up in some not so good parts of town. Now though, between the work truck and our family car, I only drive it once or twice a week (half a tank lasts over a month) so its not "as" important anymore.

I like them. I think it looks better with it on too.

I'd keep it. I've tossed the idea around of getting one for mine a few times but never do for some reason
