Bakflip MX4 for the win. I just paid 949.00 shipped.

Same here. Easy install, solid, and 5 year warranty.

While i like the look of a roll-up (no seams), I've found the tri-fold more versatile in that it can be folded back part way or all the way. I don't believe the roll up has that capability.

It's on sale right now too

I have a Lomax hard cover on my Ranger and its great, but on my Maverick I'm intending to only have a cover on when I'm travelling or transporting some gear. I think this will be what I go with, inexpensive and easy to install/remove.

Can the Gator flip all the way up against the cab or is it just the first two panels that flip?

Just the first 2 panels it's held on with clamps from the underside. When you flip the panels there is a clipping tether to hold them in place. Unless i am.mistaken but I don't se a way to do it haha

The Gator tri-fold soft cover will fold up on top of the first fold leave 2/3rds exposed. Two straps are there to tie it down if you want to drive with it open, I have a rug mat and once folded up, I can lay on my back and undue the wing nuts on the front section and in less than 5 minutes have it sitting in my garage. Light and easy to take off or put on. When I load a motorcycle I take it off and have a full bed available. Sure someone can cut it if they want inside the bed. They can also mess up hard covers by trying to get into them too. For the money I took the chance and paid 279.00. Time will tell if I made the wrong choice but after 3 months I still like it.

I've had the Ford soft roll-up on for week (rebranded TruXport).
Early last week we had driving rain and flooding, this weekend 6"-7" snow piled on it. No leaks at all.

If the included gasket material is used as directed (not on the tailgate like one YouTuber did), and it is positioned properly (~7/8" to 1" from rear window, not flush to it), it fits and performs well.

I like the Roll-N-Lock, but its a lot pricier.

I'm looking at the Truxedo roll-up cover and was curious about it being able to handle snow. Sometimes, we'll get a foot or two at a time here in the Adirondacks...

This is really good to know. All I could find from past searches was complaints about it being short. I’m thinking of getting a Truxport with a set of BillieBars or KB voodoo bars. Would be a versatile set up for me.

I have the same one. I confirm that you put the foam tape on the inside edge of the front of the bed. I was able to get the cover to have about 3/4" of landing on the front and the tailgate.
i LOVE the Truxedo, its my 3rd one. Easy to use, easy to roll up, tight and crisp. For half loads you can spring-clamp the rolled up cover to keep it in place. GREAT VALUE for the price,

I also used the 20% Ford code posted in this forum a few weeks ago. Thanks!

I'm getting the Tuxedo

Hey friends,

hoping you can give me your two cents to help my tonneau research. Im also reading the other tonneau threads here, but following are my specific needs:
-relatively economic
-easily removable (i want my personal tools protected most of the time but will need to remove it to carry larger, taller items frequently)
-id prefer if it was folding. But its not 100% required

thats basically it. Thanks!

I'm getting the Truxedo Sentry hard roll-up tonneau cover. Takes up very little bed space, easy to rollup & better security than soft tonneau covers. Will get it ordered by dealer as it would be a constraint on my build. About $1,045.

This is my second TruXport. They are great covers, the side rails are gasketed and clamped down to the bed ensuring a good seal, better than folding ones I've seen. The angled rails enable you to get it taut without wrinkles. If I'm out and need full use of the bed, I can roll it up and not lose rear visibility. Occasional treatment with 303 will keep them looking new for years.
Agree on the value 100%
