I am looking for a bed cover for my supercab w/ 6.5 ft beds. I hear great things about the Bak Flip and a few others, but the prices are

Has anyone tried some of the cheaper ebay versions? Any major concerns? I pasted a few below that I found:

These are sorted from low to high price. I like the Bak Flip, but, its 3-4x as expensive. Appreciate any suggestions.

 

My only suggestion is to skip the snap-type covers. You will regret it after a little while. They break and it's a pita to get the cover stretched enough to snap them in colder weather.

 

I was in your same predicament. My Truxedo's velcro was shot. I was going to get another one until I talked to Brian at Truck Image. He's hooking up F150 members with Bakflip's at a ridiculous price. There's a thread with slightly blemished ones, you can ask for one of those or get a price on a new one. I went with the VP and love it.

Here is his info 888-274-3308 Ext. 443

I have #2. Its perfect around town but when you get going down the highway or interstate, especially when you have a side wind, it has a tendency to come loose on the side and flap around. Really bothered me at first, but i have gotten over it. I got it for xmas from the wife so it was cold when it was installed. Therefore am going to try to adjust the side rails when it warms up and the cover is a little more flexable to see it if can tighten it up and keep it from blowing free on the sides.

I will be going to some kind of trifold or hard/semi ridged cover next time.

 

Thank you, I sent him an email, hopefully something works out! I'd love to get a nice one, but some of those are $1k!

 

I asked him about a bakflip VP and even though he didn't have any blemished ones, he was able to get me a way better price than any other site I found them on.

 

I'm sure you will be happy with it, everyone raves about them.

I want one too. Anyone want to buy my old truck (see sig) I'll throw it in the classifieds as soon as I get access.

 

You have a 6.5 bed?

 

No 5.5

 

OK thanks, maybe there is hope for me yet!
