Default Folding bed cover?

Getting ready to order my Supercab with the folding bed cover. I've been reading several posts on aftermarket / self installs. Very good info.
If I order one from the factory ($950) can anyone tell me the brand or does this very with the factory (availability, cost, vendor) ?

I have no idea on the manufacturer of the Ford tonneau cover, but there's no way I'd spend $950 for one. You should be able to get a decent aftermarket hard tri fold for about half that, and a soft one for 1/4 the price.

The Ford branded hard folding tonneau by REV is made by Bak Industries, I'm not sure if it's Bakflip F1 or the Bakflip G2.

If you are open to suggestions, this is the tri-fold I have:

Easy to install and remove. Make sure to get the proper bed length measurement.

The BAK MX4 is by far the most popular cover on the forums right now. I have put together quotes on these at least 15 people in the past week just on this forum alone: http://www.autoanything.com/tonneau-...-tonneau-cover

And then if you want to go a more budget route, the Extang Trifecta is a good trifold cover for much cheaper than most others out there: http://www.autoanything.com/tonneau-...-tonneau-cover

Feel free to PM me if you want to check out forum pricing.
