Anybody have a truck cover for your pickup? Recommendations

I park my new F150 outside, and the birds/pigeons are dive bombing it daily. Want to get a good cover to keep it clean when not driving.
Reviews on Amazon and other places are all over the map for different brands.
Thought the OB might have some recs for me. TIA.

I have a revolver x2 on my 15 lariat and it's badass. Would not hesitate to buy another one. They can be had for 680.

LOL, I think he wants a car cover not a bed cover.
OP, you will use it 10 times MAX. Unless you work at a facility that you really have the need for it, its a PITA and you will not use it.

Thanks. Sorry, yes, I meant a full cover, but I agree that looks great on your truck.

Well I actually work from home, so this is for my house. I don't have to drive every day so it sits a lot. I bought my truck on 2/20 and it has about 650 miles on it right now after 2 months.
The cover would be for when it's at home sitting for 2-4 days at a time.

Yeah my bad. I read over it quickly. Can't help you out with a cover. Your best bet is to strip all of the wax off of it and seal the shite out of it, then top it off with collinite 845. Wash as often as possible and keep a bottle of quick detail and a microfiber close by and use it when needed. It's a pain in the arse, but a better solution imo.

I'm rocking the bakflip g2. Sturdy has a little leak but doesn't leak enough to soak anything. They seem pretty popular in Texas.

Buy a good one, not a cheap one. The cheap ones don't last from a UV standpoint. Also, buy one that has mirror cutouts and a presewn grommet for the antenna.
Making your own hole for the antenna ruins the cover.

Yeah, I want to, but that's what I'm asking. Anyone who has bought one and happy with it, what brand/where/how much.
I bought weather tech mats for it, but their cover is $700. Was hoping to get something for less than $200.

i bought my dad the fitted one from carcovers.com for his audi S4 that mostly sits in the driveway and he loves it

Dealerships typically carry an official manufacturer product. When my dad had his Challenger I got a cover from the local dealership made specifically for Challengers.
ETA: couldn't find any on Fords accessory website. You're also going to have to deal with the bed becoming a giant bowl when it rains. Not sure if they make something to fix that...otherwise you'll have to put a piece of pcv or something in the center of the bed.

I haven't bought any in a few years, but whatever brand is fitted for the specific vehicle. Seems that Covertech was a good brand. Look for good reviews and long warranty. I'm thinking around $350 for a good one.

I'm not well versed in vehicle covers, but Evolution is a top brand of boat cover and they are made to be towable at highway speeds so you know the durability is there. They are a boat cover manufacturer but they do take custom orders so it might be worth contacting them. Maybe they have a car division or at the least make a recommendation.
I want to say their boat covers run about $1000 or so.

I'm looking for bed cover. Is this one fairly water tight?
