I see some folks have had good luck, but I've had nothing but problems on the last 2 trucks with the Bakflip product. I like the looks, but the quality is quite poor. I like to install myself, so usually buy in the box. They have minor scratches (fix with paint pen), hinges all loose and need adjusting, lots of little metal shavings from the manufacturing stage. At the time, BF customer support was useless.
My last cover was an HD (that's what we call the F1 up here), and it leaked badly on the hinge joints, water logged between the panels, and started to delaminate. Took a good 6 months fighting to get a replacement. Wouldn't give my money back, so didn't even open the new box. Sold the brand new cover and purchased an Extang solid fold.
I would not recommend from my experience, but if you do, make sure you buy from a shop that will help if you have problems.

I had a BAKFlip on my 2008 and really liked it. Looking for one for my 2019 SCREW, but I see I have a few choices. Which would you recommend and why? Thanks

Had the MX4 which I transferred from my 2015 to 2018 and to my 2020 but sold it last year for a soft trifold. It was still in decent shape (after about 5 years of use) but I just got tired of its weight as well as it blocking the rear window when it was open all the way.
Honestly I usually have been leaving my soft cover off lately too since I have been hauling some larger items in the bed.
