Has anyone had any experience with Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite. It looks like a good cover can access from front or rear. Just trying to figure out what tonneau is the best one.

Anyone have any idea how "water tight" the backflip G2 or HD are? I have a Jason Rage one piece hard cover on my 2008. It is 99.99% water tight and I love the look, but I'm looking for more flexibility with the cover on my new 2015.

I had awhile to scope out tonneau covers while I waited for the truck. Here is the link to the thread I started about them:


https://www.f150forum.com/f118/mid-p...llenge-285257/


I picked a hard (but very light) solid cover because it is water tight, secure and looks great. It is the Undercover Lux SE and comes paint matched to your vehicle. Here are a few pics of mine installed:

Good luck.

Does anybody have any experience with the Diamondback covers? They look really secure and great for carrying thing on top.

I looked pretty closely at them. They have the SE and HD and a few other cover door arrangements. They are definitely a nice product. If you want a rugged design you can walk on and store stuff on, this is the one for you. They come with the aluminum checker plate look in original color and coated with Linex. Linex can be black or customized to match you vehicle color. Black looks sweet with a sport look.

I decided against it because I didn't need the storage or to climb on it and wanted a clean look. Went with the undercover lux SE and love it. It's a hardcover prepainted to your vehicles color.

Hope that helps.

I have a tri-fold Undercover Flex and couldn't be more pleased. After multiple trips through a high pressure car wash I can say with confidence, NO LEAKS!

Con - There is a box that is 11" x 11" that uses up the upper rear portion of the bed, retractables tend to be the most expensive. There are power version of this cover as well (controlled by a fob).
I'm considering the Retrax Pro MX. Does remote tailgate release work with that cover? I assume it does. If possible, could you please post some pictures of the cover on your truck and the box in the bed? Thank you.

Retrax Pro MX fits PERFECT on my 2015 Plat. If you can afford it, I highly recommend a Retrax. Very nice cover, could not ask for better quality or function. It rolls effortlessly on sealed ball bearings, locks up tight as a drum, and can handle a 500 Lb weight load on top of tonneau. What's not to like? Oh, Expensive though at $1700.

Yes, tailgate release works great.

I like the rolling type covers. Fast, easy, and I can see what's in the bed when I drive. This is useful when i have motorcycles in the bed so i can tell if one slides around or isn't sitting the way I like.
