As I search for an aftermarket tonneau cover, I keep seeing 5'7" listed on the tonneau webpages for the cover and 5'5" for the bed length on Ford's webpage. What should I be looking for on the tonneau websites?

5'7" sounds about right, you want it to overhang a little on each end to be water tight.

Anything that says it will fit a 2021+ F150 with the short bed (5' X") will be fine.

I have no interest in a rollup, sorry. But it does show me that I'm on the correct website for the tonneau.

That's a good idea. We should email them and ask. We should find the best price then email that place.

Interesting how that site shows the Gator EFX fitting the Lightning but the BAK X4S does not.

The Bak x4s is what I plan on getting. I'd be in if they do a group discount.

Curious to see if a cover helps range and by how much

I'm curious about this, too. I bet it will but it probably won't be much.

I know nothing about that company, but you should know a few things about tonneau covers.

First, many of the manufacturers won't let the price go below a specified price, so you'll see it the same everywhere. However, sites can discount the ORDER, so if you buy multiple things and push them, you might find they discount the cover by taking money off the ORDER.

Second, one company owns nearly all the brands - Truck Hero. They own the following companies - Advantage Truck Accessories™, Alloy USA®, AMP Research®, A.R.E.®, Auto Ventshade®, BAK Industries®, BACKRACK®, BedRug®, Belmor®, Bushwacker®, Extang®, Husky Liners®, LUND®, N-FAB®, OMIX™, Rampage Products®, Retrax®, RoadWorks®, Roll-N-Lock®, Rugged Liner®, Rugged Ridge®, Stampede™, Superlift®, Tonno Pro®, TruXedo®, UnderCover®, and an online retailer, RealTruck®.
