Hard tri-fold tonneau decision

There's actually supposed to be a decal on the underside that states, "To prevent damage to seal, close lid only after closing tailgate". It's been the same decal on both of my Bakflips, and I've also seen it on the Ford-branded versions, made by Bakflip. The only real difference is the Ford logo/decal.
My FIL has the Ford-branded version and he's destroyed the seal on his, from never closing the tailgate first. But then again, he's like a bull in a china shop with pretty much everything. His truck has fewer miles than my primary truck and it looks like it's been threw a dozen hailstorms, with raccoons living in the cab.

My first Bakflip was on one of my '14 F150s, it was the one with the vinyl skin cover, over the panels. I really liked it, but always thought it was kinda' heavy. Bought my '18 back in July and it took a while to find a new one for this truck. I called Bafflip and found out that they discontinued that model, but the rep gave me the part number and said that I may be able to find a dealer that still had one in stock. Sure enough, I finally found a dealer in Ohio that had one left. So when I was passing through, I stopped and picked it up. The very first thing I noticed, was how much lighter it was. At first I was apprehensive that it may not be as robust as my first one, but I've had it on for over six months now and it's been great. I know some people have had complaints of them leaking or bowing, but mine's been perfect.
So did you get a VP then? That’s the one I had planned on getting all along. Now I’m back to thinking about getting a tonneau and I don’t see the VP’s on the website (as fitting my 2011 5.5ft box anyway). Are those still available or is there one that’s considered a replacement for them?

Yes, that's what they called them... I couldn't remember the specific model designation. When I called Bakflip, back in July, about one for my '18, the rep said they had quit making them and that they were releasing something similar by the end of the year, which would have been last month. But I haven't checked back with them, because I found one in stock at a dealer in Ohio.
i was checking things out last night and I like the MX4 but it’s quite a bit more than what I remember the VP going for. I guess I should call Bak to find out which one they released to be like the VP.
