Any of you OT baws rolling with a bed cover (I know most of you have a driver or rollin in luxury vehicles). Thinking about putting a bakflip or similar on my truck.

Any reviews out there or others I should look at?

Curious how they hold up to the sun over time with the aluminum panels vs. the FRP panels that backflip offers.

I'm in the market for a collapsible one for my F150.

Should have gotten that thrown in on the deal you got on the truck.

My truck is built Chevy tough so it doesn't need a bed cover

I have a bakflip mx4. Never had any issues with it. Love it for long drives.

Went with this.

It's got a barrel near the cab that the bed cover rolls into. Doesn't block me from hauling stuff that would extend out of my bed. Has a great look to it. No fading in the year I've had it on. Lifetime warranty

Got it through the linex dealer.

I have the Bakflip MX4 on my 2016 F150. So far, I really like it and it seems very durable. I like that you can open and close the tailgate without having to lift up the cover. It leaks a very small amount in the corners by the tailgate during heavy extended periods of rain. No complaints from me.

I love the rolling anodized aluminum bed covers.

A full size SUV just seems so much more practical to me over a truck with a bed cover.

bakflip style is the only way to go unless you are 80 and drive 25 mph everywhere.
I have had one on me last 2 trucks and there is no competition.

Until you want to haul a Christmas tree, bundle of 2x4s, sheet of plywood, extension ladder, or damn near anything else that is hauled in the back of a truck.

I had an "extra" truck sitting around the house for a while. That SOB stayed on loan to my queer friends that drive SUVs but always need a truck to haul something.
