Thinking about putting the G2 BackFlip on my 2012 FX4. I was wondering if anyone has done this and has comments or pictures. I love the tri-fold feature and the low profile look from the side view. My main question is can it be locked?

I got it and love it. Works great. Leaks a little in a car wash but doesn't get soaked. Looks great as well.

it doesnt have a lock on the unit itself but if you have your tailgate up and locked you cannot access the release mechanism to open it

Can you guys send a picture or two of your G2's?

here's one of mine.

under each folding section there is a latch on which you have to pull a wire to release it. when the tailgate is up and locked there is no way to access said latch so basically locked tailgate = locked tonneau cover.

Got the F1 which is just the upgrade from the G2. Love it.

i did see in some older threads last night that (unless the design has changed) the bakflip covers can be opened with a coathanger, supposedly there are how to videos on youtube

I had a G2 on a previous truck, and put an F1 on my current Ford. The G2 can be dented much easier (e.g. a hickory nut !).

Wow. I ordered the G2 earlier today and now you guys are making it out like I should have gotten the F1. I loved the low profile look of the G2 on Fords I've seen. Is the F1 that low also. Maybe Auto Anything will let me exchange if I leave it in the box. Dang it.

yes, it looks identical but is stronger. I would definitely recommend that you get it instead if you use your truck at all like a truck. my G2 has been on my truck for 4 months and I bet I couldn't sell it for half what I paid for it, it's so beat to hell.
