Does anyone have any recommendations for hard bed covers that work with the F-150 Power Tailgate? Does the tailgate operate AND keep the bed (mostly) dry?

I moved the Bakflip MX4 from my 2017. Fits / works perfectly with the power tailgate. I get a little water along the sides but it’s mostly waterproof.

Undercover Elite keeps it dry. The cover has to be up for the tailgate to open.

I ordered an Xtang exceed tri-fold… Amazon shipped me a recliner instead and don’t have any inventory to replace it. Taking that as a sign, now looking again.

Main thing I liked about it was the twist to release mech making it slightly more difficult to open (pull cable style are apparently easy to open with a coat hanger).

RetraxPro XR works fine. Installed mine 3 days ago. Cannot attest to keeping the bed dry but YouTube videos indicate that it does.

I also have a Ford Branded Undercover Elite. It really finishes off the looks of the truck. Also had dust seals and a Bedrug mat installed. No water comes in at all and just very little dust in a couple spots. I live on a gravel road. I think that the seals on this unit provide the best weather proofing as well as security. Supposedly it is easy on and off with two people if you need to haul bulky items occasionally. Coming from a long line of Suburbans this fits my needs the best.

I installed the Extang Solid Fold 2.0 as soon as my truck arrived in January, and so far have been very satisfied with it. I especially appreciate the easy tool-free installation. I takes longer to get it out of the box than it does to install.

Tailgate opening/closing with cover closed has never been an issue for me.
After a few snow storms, rain downpours and car washes, I'm pleasantly surprised that it's more weather resistant than I expected, keeping everything dry inside.

Good luck with your search/decision. I was in the same boat as you during my search for the "perfect" cover. Everyone has different needs, so what works for some, may not work for others. The Extang Solid Fold 2.0 works just right for my needs.

This is what I have, had it originally for my 2018 XLT, when I got my 2021 Lariat, I had it moved over. It fits like a glove.
