The kids are starting to go camping/hunting with me so I'm losing cab space for dry storage. Wife says no to a camper shell. I want something that has some security (lockable) but don't want to lose the truck bed to a fiberglass cover, so I'm looking at the tri-folds. Any advise/suggestions on them?

I had the Bakflip G2 on my F350 and just ordered the Bakflip MX4 for my 150. I'll report back in once I get the new one installed. The last one was very easy to install and kept the bed very dry. Even going through a car wash and the high power air dryer, it maybe got a few dribbles in at the rear corner. I do recommend using the tailgate seal too. Got it from tonneaucovers world for $883 no tax and free shipping.

The hard folding/rolling covers are going to be the most popular ones we offer. As far as being secured these will get the job done and allow for you to get your cab back.
Currently, the most popular models would be the Bak MX4, Revolver X2/X4, UnderCover Ultra Flex, and Access LoMax cover. If you have questions on any of the covers or options please let me know.
Also, I saw someone posted about the Diamondback covers. They are solid durable options, but you do double the cost and also they will not allow for much bed access unless taken off.

I like my my Extang Solid Fold, three years in service. 99% watertight (have tailgate seal), and inside latch makes the bed secure when tailgate is locked. Easy to fold to front section to load bed or remove if full open bed is needed.

i second the mx4. super easy install, keeps out about 99% of the water and looks great. while it isn't a locking cover itself you can't get to it to open if the tailgate is locked, and the tailgate can be used no matter the position of the cover.

Lomax. Brilliant design, secure, looks sharp, easy to fold or remove.

Another vote for the Extang Solid Fold. It's light enough for one person to remove in 5 minutes but still very secure when on the truck.

Installed the MX4. Just as easy as the G2. Install is the same. Had my 10 year old help which was a bonus. Went through the car wash and had very little water drips by the tailgate. Later the same day I installed the tailgate seal. I will report back in once I go through the wash again and the amount of water that enters the back.
