Another option here - I saw a rather slick set up at a car show - its
a soft tonneau cover, but it mounts to a framework which is hinged at the
front, and has gas struts, etc. So, you can use it exactly like a hard
tonneau cover, but if you ever need to haul something big, you don't
actually have to remove the framework, just the "canvas" like you would a
normal tonneau cover.
This way you always have full, easy access to your bed and only need to
deal with removing and re-installing the fabric when you have to haul
something big. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the name - someone here may
have some info though.
