Thanks to the tips in this forum I deleted certain options (among others my bedcover) on my order and got the confirmation email that my truck will be built beginning of November. Now I want to order a bed cover separately and was wondering how complicated it is to install one of the hard tri fold ones. Is it worth to have the dealer install it or is it easy and straight forward to do it myself?

Thanks!!

Also interested in any replies to this question. Considering this, or perhaps one of the retractable sliding versions, but have zero experience with these (this will be my first truck...)

Unless you really want a tri fold from Ford, you could just get a Bakflip for over 150 bucks less and install it yourself. They're a very reputable brand.
The only issue is, they don't have the product avilable yet, while at Ford you can already order it.

does anyone know how well Bak or similar covers do at keeping water out? I have a soft trifold cover on my f150 and while it does a decent job, water does leak in at times.

What makes this particularly worrisome on the Maverick is the unibody construction (no gap between the bed and cab to let water flow) and the curved pillar at the cab. I am not sure how the OEM or aftermarket makers are dealing with it, but I am anxious to see.
