Default What covers dont leak?

I just picked up my 2013 F150 XLT 5.0 Supercrew 6.5 bed Off Road and towing packages. I want a cover but I hear alot of them leak. I was looking at autoanything and theres alot of mixed reviews any recommendations?

Depends on what type if cover u want and how you use ur bed. I have a bakflip F1 and love it. It never really leaks at all. I use my bed alot sometimes stuff that is taller than bed rails. If you don't use it much, perhaps I need a full solid cover, one that extends over the bed rails. That will b the only type that is pretty much guaranteed not to leak.

I have had many trucks and many different types of covers. Bakflip, roll-n-lock, solid fold, retrax, and the full hard cover. They all had some leakage, mainly at the rear by the tailgate, but not alot. I have no problem leaving my golf clubs/softball gear in back of truck during summer months. I have not worried about them getting wet. The only one that does not leak at all, is the full solid cover (ARE, undercover, etc.)

Ive got an Extang Trifecta tri fold cover. It was $400(In Canada) and I havent had a single leak with it. I power wash my truck once a week during the winter months and with the high pressure water it has never leaked!

This. Properly installed with a tailgate seal lots of them will leak very minimally but all of them leak except the full solid ones that go over the rails and you still need a tailgate seal.
