Best Hard Bedcovers?

[ripperAZ]

Have a factory spray in bed liner. Want to be able to put on a hard bed cover. Also want to put long boards through the back window into the bed when needed. What would be the best hardcover you recommend?

Bakflip FX4. Clearly, the highest quality and sleekest adoption. It looks fantastic. And probably the most expensive.

Installed a Bak Revolver X4S today and love it. Easy to install and was $1100 shipped to my door 2 days after order from the RealTruck sponsor on this site. Very happy with the whole transaction.

Yep. Me too. They’re the best

Here is a link for those who are interested in a budget hard tri-fold. You can find it on Amazon or eBay but eBay has the better price. I purchased it and am happy with it. I did add some weatherstripping to the front corners and there is minimal leaking during rain, not enough to cause any issues. The nice thing is this link provides a video review from Shay, a well regarded MTC member that gives you a good overview. The one he reviews is branded Oedro but the one on eBay is the same exact one. These come from the same manufacturer and sellers just brand them with their name. At the time of review this sold for $679. It is listed on eBay now for $335 and you can get it even cheaper with a best offer. The seller is the same one I used. The eBay link is included as well for those interested.

I'll add to the LoMax ones. They might the bed plastics as well as some other options but for the price they are great and durable. I've had them on the past 3 vehicles I owned. If I had to go back though, I'd probably get one that matched the bed plastics a bit more. Overall, function over form for me. Plus I got it on a "sale" for just over $700 when they are usually over $800.

I've got this one and think it's pretty good. It does leak a bit however I'm pretty sure if I played around with weather stripping at some point I could get it to be minimal.

Yeah, I bet your leaks come in on the two front corners against the bulkhead. There are breaks in the insulation where the pads are and that’s where mine let some water come in. Took about 5 feet of weatherstripping and 15 minutes of fix.

Yep, exactly where I see the majority of water coming in. Thanks for the tip!

This Bakflip has drain tubes, which I neatly routed thru the existing rubber grommets, by making a hole for the hoses.

Do you have the BakFlip MX4? If you do, would you please tell me how waterproof it is?

Yes, I have the BakFlip MX4, and I honestly don't pay attention to how dry it is in the bed. I rarely open it up unless I need the space to haul something.

I have the Ford Advantage Hard Folding tonneau which I think is a rebadged MX4. I have only noticed a few drops in the bed but I cannot determine where it is coming from. Might need to take the hose out and set up a couple cameras.

Love my Undercover Ultra Flex https://realtruck.com/p/undercover-ultra-flex-tonneau-cover/v/ford/maverick/2024/

How well has this been so far? It seems the underside carpet makes it practical for us vs other covers but would love your insight based on your use. Thanks!

 

[dmo94556]

Not sure if some of the responders understand what you are looking to do. Are you looking for a cover that will support the long boards while closed, like shown below? Mine is a BakFlip Mx4, but I recently helped a friend install a WeatherTech Hard Alloy, and am impressed that it would do the job as well.

Does it stay dry when closed?

 

[dmo94556]

Where is the bed extender from?

Any interference with the bed extender when the tonneau is fully closed?

 

[Hot Runr Guy]

Does it stay dry when closed?

Not during a high pressure car wash.
