Hello MTC members, new user here, sharing images of my newly installed tonneau cover and bed lighting additions.

Ordered the Pro X15 because I liked the look of the low-profile design and compatibility with aftermarket bed rails which I plan to install later with some kind of a bed rack. Also, I ordered through a friend who gets discounts for $398 shipped direct from Truxedo. This is the first truck I've ever owned, so I had no idea some of these tonneau covers are over $1000! Only a few pics below... might need to make a few adjustments to make it more taught, but otherwise no complaints!

And since the cover blocks the overhead cab lights (which I switched to LED), I added an inexpensive kit from Amazon. I am a complete idiot when it comes to electrical work, but the FLEXBED add-on accessory power was super simple. Hardest part was routing wires from the passenger side under the truck to meet the driver side. But the result is night and day.

EDIT 2/3/2022

it's been raining all day. Just adding an image of the bed and how much water was let in. No complaints as I didn't expect this cover to be water tight

Does cover flop around at speed?

Nice! What type of bed lighting did you install?

Yes. There is a center bar that I think helps with weight, but I noticed some movement. I was watching other trucks with non-hard covers, and all of them had similar movement as mine.

I’m a X15 Pro user also. I’ve been very happy with it.

Where exactly did you stick them on?
Up under the bed rails and above the factory C channels. There are holes (6) along the length of the bed that I added push-in zip ties to help hold the LED strip. The double faced tape won't work on the bed liner. I'll see if I can get a better pic tomorrow.

There is some movement on all soft covers But that's why they are half the price. I really love the Truxedo sentry hard cover roll up but not the $1000.00 price tag. I have the ProX15 on my Colorado and have no complaints, especially since it's 1/2 the price

Hey Cactus, could you tell me if those lights have power all the time or does ignition need to be on?

The accessory position needs to be switched on for the lights to work. You can switch it on and then pull the key out and the circuit will stay live for maybe 15mins?

Might be an inconvenience for some, but this is how Ford designed it. If I had any wiring skill I would have tapped in to the factory switch, which is always on.
