My truck is going into production this week. I'm starting to think of accessories. Any recommended tonneau covers that are known to fit the Lightning?
Love my Bak Revolver

I got the Ford branded Bak Revolver installed by my dealer when I got my truck a month ago. This started happening almost right away. Going to the dealer tomorrow for modem issues and will see what they say/do about this.

I saw this issue raised by a YouTube reviewer when I was conducting my research….I could be wrong, but I think the Ford-branded version is based on the older design depicted in this video:

You are right on the money. I plan to show this video TV service guys. It will be interesting to see what Ford does with this. Thanks!

After debating for weeks I ended up ording the aluminum roll up as well and it arrived today... $815 from Ford with their accessories discount recently, not sure how that worked out but it shipped and all.
I ordered the same one I think. I haven't installed it yet. Waiting to get a spray in first I think. I was wondering how it ended up in the $800s.

Where are you? I am trying to figure out where to get a spray and how to make sure they do it right. I am looking a Line-X place either in Geneva, NY or Syracuse, NY.

Also, looking at that video above I am wondering if I should return the cover and get this Bakflip Revolver X4S instead. Looks like it is improved.

Installed BAK Revolver today. Took about 45 minutes. I’ve never had a truck with a bed that’s not completely sealed between bed, sides, front. I noticed the gaps between the bed when I was under the closed cover doing the final tighten up in the dark and could see light!

I installed a Tyger T3 soft tri-fold ($229) a few weeks ago on my Pro. Looks great and works well. Very pleased so far.

Syracuse. I believe the line-x closest to me is in Baldwinsville, outside of Syracuse.

I'm not really that worried about the felt compared to version 2... I almost wonder if the rubber pieces on the new version would fit on ours? Else it kind of just looks like you re-glue the felt if it is off, and I will try to find a better heat resistant glue.

I am going to put my vote in for the Peragon Limited HD Edition with the matte finish. I have a post for pics and info of it.

Hope you are still pleased. Price has increased, but I just ordered this item. Should be good for our mild weather.
Tyger Auto T3 Soft Tri-fold Truck Bed Tonneau Cover Compatible with 2021-2023 Ford F-150; Lightning | 5.5' (67") Bed | TG-BC3F1064 https://a.co/d/h5oVXNM

Edit: received and that was an easy-peasy install. Exactly what I was wanting. Now I can get an extra 0.1 m/kw. Not really the reason for purchase. Needs to settle, but pleased.
