Just measured it.

It takes right at 1 ft of the bed space horizontally from the cab and extends down 10" into the bed vertically, flush from the bed rail caps.

For me it works out because if I have anything that needs to take the entire bed, it is probably lumber or something else that doesn't sit high enough to interfere with the box.

Tim how much was that top and where did you get it, and if it rains does it keep all of the water out?

Is the surface one that you can paint? or is it going to have to stay black? I'm hoping to get the DSG L and would like it too match.

First of all, Dana, thanks for the compliment.

Although I think the Innovations Pro-Sport is da bomb, I chose a lift-top soft cover because (1) a hard top adds too much weight, and (2) I live alone and could not get a hard top off by myself. The lift-top feature is an order of magnitude cooler than a regular soft cover.

It was about $370. http://www.cargogear.com/

I live in Southern California. I've forgotten what rain looks like.
