From Zac @ the Maverick Marketing team:

"I checked with engineering and the bed extender is not compatible with Hard Rollup Tonneau Cover & Soft Tonneau Cover due to hardware incompatibility. The bed extender, however, is compatible with the hard tri-fold tonneau, so I’ll make sure that is reflected in the order."​

Hasn't this already been disproved in several videos? I thought the actual issue was that they couldn't be ordered together, yet in reality they do fit when both are installed?

I thought so too and am confused by the "hardware compatibility" part.

I mean, there's pictures of it in this thread installed together both closed and rolled up

Those Tonneau covers are really easy to install, I would just buy the truck with the bed extender and then use the fordpass points you got for buying the truck to help buy whatever Ford Tonneau you want.

With the varying info out there, I think it's an incompatibility at the factory, not on the truck. I can't prove it (obviously) but I suspect the covers and the extender are installed at the same station on the line, meaning they don't want two items for a truck at the same station slowing down the cadence of production.

I'm curious if anyone has tried the bed extender with the hard drop-in bedliner? The picture above, from the order options indicates that they are not compatible. But on the Ford accessories webpage there is no mention of it...

Some options are functionally capable but they don't want the factory to have to assemble them. The hard drop-in bedliner is designed to be compatible with the bed extender and has the markings to drill/cut where you need to mount the brackets.

OK That's great to know, Thanks!
