I have a soft cover on my 98 RC. I got it at Kmart for 160.00 minus my sons
discount. I have really enjoyed having it on the truck.Mileage runs about
22/23 without AC. That is going to work 40 miles one way. Through 3 towns
where I have to drive carefully to avoid the cops.
Oh yeah, I'm running 3.21 gears 235/70/15 tires.
