i have the extrangRT and very happy with it. i made a thread with pics a few weeks ago. heres the link . . .

https://www.f150forum.com/showthread....ight=extrangRT
i like that one,
got a question though...
From the looks of it, it rolls up pretty flush with the bed railing in the front. Anyone know if it would get in the way of motorcycle tires??

i regularly go dirt bike riding and i have a "bed buddy" in my bed to keep it from bending and stuff. kinda looking for a cover for the bed so when im not riding i can just throw crap in the bed and save room in my cab.

The bed buddy is set about where those retrax would end up going from what i can tell. And even without it, the retrax would be in the way of my bikes.

any help would be awsome

I loaded my wife's GSX750 Katana in my 02 and the fender would not clear the cover. The tire would fit under the cover but the cover was at the same hight as the finder. I didn't catch this and scuffed the finder a little. I'm not sure about dirt bikes though.

i have a raptor but i didnt get a chance to test to see if it would fit yet.. it definitely will. if the tires are higher than the bed rail then it wont fit. you can always take off the roll. it detatches in like 2 seconds. its just two butterfly wings.

I have had a truxedo low profile on my last two trucks and love it. It rolls up to the cab to use the full bed, water tight and installs in a few mins. It also has hooks to keep it tightly rolled up.

So, I would prob assume that Extang in general then makes good tonneau covers all around, I just happen to love this model!
