No More Snow......
.....in the bed of my truck.
  Bestop folding tonneau cover. If it wasn't for the drop in bedliner, this would have only taken 5 minutes to install, instead of 90 minutes. Once all that twaddle was done with, though, a minute to remove and a minute to put back on.

Snow in the bed is a good thing. It provides weight and traction.
That said, nice looking tonneau.

The little switch on the dash provides traction in that truck.
My plain jane 2013 work model has a lever yet. I like those folding covers. Practical.

My '99 beater has no such lever or magic traction button. Simple 4.8l 2WD. Traction comes in the form of sandbags.

I haven't shoveled snow out of a pickup bed since 2000. I haven't missed it.

I shovel snow into the pickup bed. Free ballast.
