    Tonneau cover.

    I shoot and camp often and a slide seemed to make sense when loading gear, guns, ammo, steel, etc...

    With that said, seemed strange that I can't find any info on G2 Raptor owners who've installed one, considering it, etc...

    Thoughts?

    I havent seen the '17 raptor yet in person. given the short bed, the height it appears this slide needs, and a tonneau cover, I would guess you only get a 12-18" of clearance in the bed. I could be wrong.

    My worthless $0.02: unless you are putting a cap on, which makes it near impossible to get in and out of the front of the bed; I wouldn't waste the cash on it.

    Much appreciated. I'll have to research the height of the slide vs. total height of the bed with the cover.

    It would make loading unloading a lot easier if t were to work...especially loading steel.

    Hey Jiman, how about a tonneau cover with both front and rear bed access? I can't remember brand name right now, but I have seen them.
