Tonneau Cover Recommendations

[JSchmidt]

I am wondering what peoples opinions are related to hard tonneau covers as I want one that is water tight/proof, can be washed without concern through car wash, and does not need to be closed AFTER the tailgate is closed.

1. Ford Hard Tonneau cover installed by dealer, would it be covered by truck warranty as a dealer installed option?
2. Ford Hard Tonneau cover VS aftermarket?
3. Which Hard Tonneau brand/make/model cover to provide water tight/proof protection?
4. Which Hard Tonneau brand/make/model cover to hold up to car washes?
5. Which Hard Tonneau brand/make/model cover that can be closed BEFORE tailgate is closed?

Thanks, have a AWD EcoBoost with towing package and Lariat package being built week of Nov 8th.

I'm going with the Bakflip MX4...https://realtruck.com/blog/bakflip-g2-vs-mx4-folding-tonneau-cover-comparison/

I've pretty much decided on the Bakflip MX4. I think the only one that does not need to be closed after the tailgate is the retractable one. But that will consume a lot of the already short bed space, as does the hard roll-up ones, only on top of the bed istead of in the bed. I have heard of people flipping the seal on the MX4 to somehow allow the tailgate to be closes last. Not sure if or how that works. I don't think that BAK offers the F1 for the Maverick, so that leave the MX4 and G2 as hard tri-fold options I think.

BAK X4S, hard roll up.

The BAKFlip MX4 usually has drain tubes but wondering how that will work with the Maverick and the unibody construction.

BAK X4S, hard roll up.

I'm leaning toward this, however the truxedo equivalent looks decent as well - and easy to remove completely if needed. Either way, I'm looking for the matte cover finish!

The thing I don't like about the truxedo is the velcro on the sides. BAK X4S has no velcro.

Does anyone know if the BAK X4S has to be opened to close the tailgate?

 

[ccmjr77]

No the tailgate will close with cover closed.
I have watched install videos as well as reviews.

Ive had mine on for 2 weeks and love it. Easy to use and versatile

Anyone try one of the Amazon covers? I saw this one on Amazon but can't seem to find any reviews or pictures of it on an actual Maverick. The Maverick they have pictured with it on appears to be photo shopped.

I was previously going to go with the BakFlip trifold but have sort of change my mind to go with the Undercover Ultra Flex https://undercoverinfo.com/undercover-ultra-flex/2022/ford/maverick

Whichever you decide, PM realtruck, on this forum. Alex will give you a great price, well below the price on their website. And their 30 day return policy is awesome. I first got the Truxedo Pro X15, but just work well for me. Return was a breeze. Ended getting the BAK X4S.

Uh oh, see the X4s on this video.
