Default New Tonneau Cover

Has anyone heard of the the UnderCover Ultra Flex tonneau cover?

I was about to pull the trigger on the MX4 when I came across the new UnderCover.

Looks to be the same as the MX4 but the underside of the panels are finished with actual BedRug, has the same tailgate seal as the MX4, plus it has a 5 year warranty.

It also comes with dual LED bed lights, and a saddle bag like the Swing Case except that it`s not plastic.

Any thoughts?

I just got a new 2017 2.7L ecoboost last week and have been looking at covers too. This is the first I have heard of the ultra flex and it looks awesome. Googled it and found the SEMA show breakdown here

Haven't found it for sale yet but I will continue to look and might have to pull the trigger on it. Great find.

Just picked up my 2017 3.5EB yesterday. I think I have spent more time researching tri-fold covers than the truck. I had been looking at the MX4 when I ran across the Ultra Flex. I found it at a local Leonard/Leer dealer. Seems to have everything that the MX4 does in addition to the saddle bag and Bed Rug liner. The biggest difference I saw was that it does not lean against the cab as the Baklflip does when folded all the way up. Also appears to come with a $100+ higher price tag.

Very interested is other opinions and experiences....

I assume the LED lights are just stick on and battery powered?

Correct. Dealer said the lights that come with the top just stick on and with the LED's in the bed you don't them.

Hi SkidMarkOli,

Yes,

As with the regular UnderCover Flex, it doesn`t lean against the rear of the cab when it`s in the fully folded position and that`s kind of a let down but I was thinking to myself, how often would I or most people for that matter, have the need for it to be in the fully folded position.

Speaking for myself, I might want or need for it to be in that position 1-3 times a year.

How about you or any other interested posters.

From the Undercover website...I think they are battery operated LED's. Not positive.

Thanks m_morrison14,

Glad to have put the info out there.

I`m sure it`ll go on sale soon because i`ve look on several or the popular websites for tonneau covers and none of them have it listed yet.

Also, like another poster mentioned, I know i`ll never install or use the LED lights that come with it because our trucks have factory factory LED`s.

I also saw this picture on the website.

We have factory LED`s or most do depending on trim level so these would not be needed. But, if no wiring is required, then adding them for more light at night wouldn`t be a bad thing.
