Topper (solid) or Cap ?
My DW prefers the Truck cap, I favor a solid Tonneau because it looks cool! I have my own ideas about some of the pros and cons. Apart from the extra load carry height and any fuel economy 'savings...

I actually have a system to remove my old six pack shell by myself. Just bend over inside the bed using your legs to lift the shell slightly moving it in steps to its balance point. When the rear is on the ground. Go to the ground and Continue to move the shell back off the bed a small distance at a time.
I had an older full size truck LB with a canopy and would do the same. And actually, someone showed me another trick...take a long dowel, broom handle size which is longer than the width of your truck bed, and put that between the canopy and truck rails about 1/2 the way up the truck bed. Then you can roll the canopy back much easier and remove it the rest of the way per your instructions.
Now, back to another point though. My newer full size truck with LB and a purchased new fiberglass canopy, seamless style glass all around it. That canopy is A LOT heavier that any other I have ever had. I am pretty sure it weighs upwards of 300lbs. I can remove it with the help of one additional very strong person but it is still a struggle. Forget trying to get it put back on with only two very strong men. It really takes 3 strong men. I was absolutely shocked at how much this new canopy weighed.
