RC flip up, send Panda Motorworks a message, they took care of me with my cover!

I had a hard section one, the four or so solid panels that fold up. Even with it folded up behind the back window it cost me bed space on my six foot bed. My brother had the soft roll up.
he said it was out of the way when rolled up.
Even more important on this 4.5 ft bed.
I will install it myself.

I've had several truck bed tonneau covers over the years, including roll-ups w/ snaps and velcro, soft cover tri-folds, hard surface tri-folds, and even one that was a one-piece that opened w/ gas struts. I can easily say that the best one I've ever had is the one on my Mav right now. It's the Ford optional hard tri-fold that was a $1180 option. It looks very similar to the Rough Country above or ones I've seen called a Back Flip. It's got a Ford blue oval on it and is very nice, works well, and looks great.

Great input, thank you. I am leaning toward the RC trifold. I like that it folds up to the window.

I installed the Rough Country hard tri-fold on my Maverick about a month ago and am happy with it so far. Materials/construction are good quality and installation was pretty easy.

ETA: I believe Rough Country is a solid company, which made it more comfortable to shell out the money.

We have these truxedo hard roll up from Realtruck. We love it. Works great. No issues whatsoever. My only complaint was I could never find the release lines. So I put tiny carabiner clips on them so I could see them to roll the cover back.
What ever you get, see if Realtruck has it. Call them and ask for the MTC discount. It was a pretty decent amount they took off.

Happy with the Rough Country flip up hard tri fold. Blocks the rear window when up, but gives you all but a few inches of the bed.

I believe Realtruck can advise you on your original question, tonneau/rack compatibility question.

I originally wanted to do that and did some research. IIRC there is at least one combo that can work.

I ultimately went with a Leer HF650 tonneau which is not compatible with any racks. However my two 10’ kayaks fit just fine. So no rack needed.

I just went with a Gator SRX soft roll up from RealTruck. On sale for $219, installed it myself (have a heated workshop). Seems well made (made in USA), nice tight fit. Can't beat it for the money.

How is the overlap front to back? Does the rear portion but up against the tailgate or overlap it?

I have the factory hard roll up and it's short front to back, it leaks horribly, no way to remedy this unless someone knows how to stretch it

Thank you for any help!

I have the OEM (Ford)version also. Agree with the Rough Country comparison

There's roughly a half inch overlap on to the tailgate, and maybe a touch less than that gap at the window. Here's a couple pics, with this weather you can conveniently see the ice line on the tailgate...

That's perfect, gonna order one now.

Thank you for your time!

The Rough Country Hard Tri-fold flip up is the one I'm most likely to order. I like the fact it completely folds up and the "squeeze" release for opening. The cable release are susceptible to being opened with a coat hanger or the like.
