Both are great choices. I went with the BakFlip F1, no regrets

Thanks for input. My neighbor has a undercover hard one piece cover that I'm considering. He said it's easy to remove by himself and he hangs it on the wall. I'm kind of concerned with going with a one piece hinged cover. For one, it doesn't sit as flush as the folding or rolling hard covers, and two I would hate to get caught out somewhere needing to haul something tall but would be limited due to the cover. I do like the fact it is waterproof though.

Ford dealer is to install the Undercover Lux SE painted to match on mine this week. I believe its one of the few abs tonneau covers that is made to be painted. They said the abs are becoming more popular due to being half the weight & easier to remove if needed.

I love my BakFlip. Easy to remove and with the amount of rain we have had in Oklahoma it hasn't leaked at all.

Which one do you have? I'm thinking about the F1.

F1 is a great cover Matt. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Love mine.

Cool, most people on here seem to be happy with them. I know most of these covers aren't completely waterproof, but how does the F1 do with keeping the water out? Do you like the folding style, or wished you would of went with a retractable style?

Good questions.
Water resistance is a big thing for me, as the wife and I use the bed like a trunk in most cases. Keeping luggage, etc dry is a concern. I took my time on the install and made sure everything was 100% lined up with the bulkhead and tailgate. I used some extra length of tailgate seal on the bulkhead inplace of Bak's bulkhead seal also. I did install the drain tubes too. I only noticed a very small drip from the hinge between the panel at the gate and the middle panel. Turns out that the seal there at the hinge needed to be shifted over about 3/8" to the passenger side...that took a bit of patience trying to slide over a 5' long wedged in seal but it's been great since.

Now, I will make one caveat...I have a Bedrug, so the little bit of water that enters at the tailgate step runs between the tailgate and the rug...this is the most common complaint and is not due to the cover but rather the gaps in the top of the gate because of the step.

I bought the F1 to replace a soft roller because I was planning to, and have since, mount my bikes atop the cover so that I had a 100% usable space beneath the cover when the bikes are on the truck. I didn't consider a retractable cover for a few reasons:
- Cost
- Don't like the canister
- Not pleased with the reviews I've read of them sticking in cold weather and debris entering the canister

I wouldn't hesitate to get another Bak product. In fact, if it weren't for the bike mounts I would have gone with the Bak VP for it's vinyl cover 1-piece top. It's apparently more water resistant than the others because the hinges aren't exposed.

Sorry for the long post. Hope that helps.

Quick edit:
You may want to look at the Roll-X (I think it's getting a new name) from Bak. Hard cover that rolls up (no canister) and allows you to still see out the back. It's a nice piece.
