Ford Roll-up Tonneau Cover

[bg226]

Picked this tonneau cover up from my local dealership today. Used the 22k in reward points I got from buying the truck and the gift card I got for the delayed Charge Station Pro.

Looks good, I am considering getting that exact cover!!

Did you install yourself, or pay the $50 for dealer install?

I got the same cover through Ford with a 20% discount and paid $50 for the dealer to install. They couldn’t believe that the installation was so cheap. Really happy with this cover!

Installed it myself.

I have a silly question because I am new to trucks. Should I assume that a cover like this will prevent me from installing any sort of rack above the bed?

Looks just like the Bakflip I have on my 2017 but with Ford logo. I am thinking about going with a rolling cover that goes into the housing in the bed. Who knows, the bakflip has been great, you will love that

I had the Bakflip trifold on my list truck for 13 years. It was really good for the most part. The seals ended up shrinking up eventually and it would leak more. It was pretty heavy to fold up too, which was the reason I went with this one. It's super easy to roll up.

It doesn't cover up the holes on the top so you can still mount a rack.

Thanks!

Is it possible to have it just partially rolled up?

do I remember seeing somewhere that those points can only be applied to a purchase made at the dealer?

Hey Bg226. If you don't mind me asking. Was that enough points to purchase or did you also put money down?

I had the same cover on 2 of my trucks. They are the best because you still can use the full bed when needed. Only downside is you can break into them easily. Just like most of the hard sided covers with plastic tabs.

But it keeps prying eyes out and things really dry.

And for those who live in snow country, after a snowy day parked at work you don't have a bed full of melting snow flooding your heated garage every night.

Depending on what kind of rack you're referring to, there's also covers like the RetraxPro XR which has T-slots integrated in the bedcover so that you can attach various types of racks over the bad/cover.
Only downside is that it rolls down / into the bed and takes up some space, but with the Frunk I figured that if I'll ever need the full length/height of the bed I can always just pop it out since it isn't permanently attached.

I believe the Ford OEM version is called Embark LS but I don't know if there's any difference between it and the Retrax version.

You are correct. The Revolver x4 (which is essentially what the Ford one is, just rebranded) doesn't have accessories to mount on top. If you want to mount accessories then you'd want the RetraxPro XR. It's a rolling style but rolls into a canister, so it's more sturdy. It has rails on the sides that let you install accessories (like a bike rack, ski rack, cargo carrier, etc...)

You can partially roll it up, but it won't stay if you drive. There are straps to lock it in place only when it is completely rolled up.
