So my previous truck had an ARE Z series topper which was solid and a great outfit. I loved it for trips and storage capacity but it was always a pain not being able to get in the bed while standing up to move things around or fit taller items or an ATV.
Fast forward and on my new truck I have a Retrax Pro XR and am really liking it. Easy to convert to an open bed and its very secure but a foot is lost at the front of the bed. With an elk hunt road trip rapidly approaching Im beginning to question storage capacity while closed and am starting to think about what would be more beneficial to have in a northern snowy climate since we're moving to Alaska this winter. I use my bed as a pretty avid DIYer for construction materials and tools along with hunting trips and whatever else.
There are pros and cons to each system and have been wondering what thoughts other folks have ran through their heads when finally deciding on what to stick with.
