Had a roll up some years ago. Always sagged a little but I hear they have improved that a lot. Currently have a hard trifold on my truck that looks new after 3 year with no sags. The trifold sits above the bedsides and some folks dont like that but I like having the maximum depth of the bed available for stuff. The tri fold can be removed in under a minute for full bed access but I rarely have removed. So, I’m getting a tri fold for my maverick. Greetings from Arkansas and good luck

My thought was that the role up would be better since the bed is already small. Seems to me the role up would give you moor room. Just my opinion.

oh thanks for shutting down my thread. You're very kind.
I think you forgot to add "and making me spend about 11 seconds searching....."

The purpose of my post was to inform you a simple search would result in more info than you would get from this single thread. So, I was helping you.

You are a sweetheart.

This is going to be my first truck, I decided to order it with the hard rollup cover. I wanted something stronger & more resilient than the soft rollup, but I didn't like how the hard folding cover blocked the entire rear window when opened to the maximum. The pictures I found of the hard rollup, on the Ford Accessories site, appear to leave the upper half of the rear window open for improved visibility while providing the same, or darned nearly the same, open area in the bed.

My two cents,

Do you have any concern with the back edges (those closest to the cabin) flipping up or at least raising up at highway speeds? Looks to be a bit of a gap on their website.

Plenty of threads addressing this. Just search. Good luck.
Just so you don't feel left out...roll ups are crap IMO. NO protection, no weight hold, eventually look like S@#t. Trifold so much more convenient and safer/better looking, but more $$.

You lose 1/3 of your bed space vertically with a tri fold. I've always had roll ups and never had a problem. However, I always bought ones recommended by friends or review sites. Current one is from Realtruck. Good quality.

You mean the vertical space when you fold it up? Checking to make sure I understand.
