Matt,
I have a Downey LTD which is hinged in addition to being a soft cover.
It hinges about 20" behind the cab. My brother has one that hinges
right at the front bedrail, and can be removed without removing the
fabric from the frame (very nice, I wish I had gone that route). My
father has a Sportmasters
(http://www.sportmasters.com/tonneau.htm#rollmaster) which is
velcro-attached to its own frame and rolls up very nicely -

We're all in upstate NY. Where are you?
The biggest problem with soft covers is they can be really hard to
close in the cold (the fabric shrinks). Which is why I like the lift
models - I had a plain one on my '99 and I couldn't remove the cover
in winter, as I'd never get it back on w/o a few gallons of hot water.
When you're ready to buy, the best price I found on the Downeys was
bmecovers.com. But CALL HIM, do not do it via the web.
