I had a undercover flex that was pretty good. Any covers that you really like?

I have the Flex as well. Back Flip is a popular one as well.

I have the flip back and really like it so far. Never removed it but I have laid it against my back glass several times

Encore makes a damn good one. But it's pretty pricey

I have a backflip mx4 and love it. Like the ability to open and close with tailgate closed.

Backflip or anything similar. I'll never own a different design.

The ones I've seen that look really nice are the Bakflip trifold. I think they're made of aluminum. Can't say firsthand how good they are but heard they're really nice and keep the bed dry.

Im on my 3rd cover on my '16 F150 due to warranty and being an unsatisfied customer. Do youself a favor and get a Bakflip MX4. Its the newest Bakflip. I tried to get away with less hinges and no drain hoses but Bakflip is #1. Im very satisfied.

The MX4 is heavier than others and a little more difficult to completely remove, but still not terrible. You have to get in the bed and undo two hand wingnut type nuts. Also when removed the remaining rail is not a protrusion except the very front. Its also fairly waterproof which is important to me because I have Bedrug and use my bed as a trunk. I only have water at the corner at tailgate so I can just position cargo forward or center.

Call Luke @ Truck Alterations for whatever cover you order. He will beat any price and expert service. His website is generic and his store front is a U-Haul store but dont turn away because of that. You will save $200-$150, have free shipping (usually 2-3day), and have full manufacturers warranty. Not all distributors can give the warranty.

Peragon. Very similar to bakflip as far as style, however, you can have it painted to match your truck for no extra charge, should you want to. Also, once you fold it all the way up, you can detach it and remove it very easily for a fully open bed. It's a way tighter fit than a bakflip. I had bakflips on my previous trucks and love them, but they always seemed to leak just a bit.

The best part is this is sold direct to consumer so you get get one for around 600-700 brand new. You pay 800-1000 for a comparable brand.

I'm on my 2nd G2 (2nd different truck) and not even a drop has leaked in.

I was told by BakFlip customer service that they control the pricing and if you are getting it that much cheaper then its very likely that you aren't getting it from an authorized dealer and will likely come without the warranty. I had a problem with my first one and they sent a new one out, overnight, immediately after I sent them a picture of my original one in the dumpster.

My Bakflip leaks, but it makes the bed look nice covered and even across.

Mine leaks, too. Not enough to soak anything but jus enough to leave a musty odor in the back if it isn't dried out regularly.
