Looking for member's opinions on the different covers for pickup beds; given that I'll be taking this truck to the track and would like security for overnight parking at motels.

If you like yours post a picture! Thanks.

Options:

1. Complete cover that lifts up and is held up with gas shocks

2. Vinyl cover that folds towards the front to access the PU bed

3. Vinal cover that is stretched over a frame

4. ?

Thanks.
