I ride dirtbikes every weekend so my bed cover would be up fairly often....i think i am leaning more towards a roll up, but i truly appreciate the input! Well this is actually my first tonneau ever, and yeah, I was taken back a bit when I saw the prices... I imagine that by the time I am ready to change things up from my MX4 I will then be looking at a camper shell... but wow, those are even more expensive! lol...

Kory04 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I don't have my truck yet, but I'm sure it will fit, as the console hasn't changed. The console space in all my other vehicles always tends to turn into a dumpster as well, and the one in the super duty would be an extra large dumpster! So, this is a "tool" for me to keep the console from becoming a dumpster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekd Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I found a killer deal for the Retrax bed cover. Aluminum series, 8ft. Guy is accepting 1k for it. It’s brand new. Would of cost me 2K+ to order it online. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s ingenious, I like it. I have an old electric “ice chest” that plugs into the lighter (I said it is old?). I put behind the front seat. Your idea is way cleaner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjrazus1 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Anyone buy a rack system for bikes, etc that fits with the factory retractable tonneau cover? I believe it’s a “T track” system. If so, what brand did you go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overthebars Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 No truck yet but I ordered a bak f1 tonneau cover and some side steps so far...the longer it takes for my truck to get here the more stuff I will accumulate to put into it. I should be broke by the time it gets built ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdbohannon Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Do any of you use a bed cover w a 5th wheel hitch? I'm thinking the roll up kind would be best so that it's easy to pull up and maximize room while towing but I'd love to have something covering it when I'm not towing....

I bought a BAK REVOLVER X4 TONNEAU COVER rolls back for the 5th wheel and doesn't block the rear window. Can barely see it out the rear window.

Kory04 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'm still undecided about a bed cover, but if I get one, I really like the looks of the peragon cover. I had previously asked posters on youtube about theirs, and they all liked them, and said they do not rattle going down the road. I believe they have a 20% off sale right now too.

The problem I see with the Peragon covers is if anything gets under it then it may either be a pain to open, or you may have to crawl under it and move things around to open it. This also means anything you store under it needs to be short so there is room to push the cover down to make it open. Maybe it’s not as bad as I imagine it, but I have also read where others didn’t like it for these reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would want a cargo bar in front of it to prevent that, which would take a little more bed space up. Nice looking cover otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed a Truxedo Truxtport soft roll up cover on ours. We had one on 2 previous trucks and it was 12 years old and still looked like new when we got rid of it. Nothing fancy, but works well for us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up going with the ever-so-popular Bakflip MX4. However, part of the reason I went with that particular one is because I also liked the Bakbox that they make, and of course, it requires the rails from the Bakflip to mount it, and I ended up getting a pretty decent deal on both when ordering them. But, I figure that in reality, I will end up with a camper shell in the next few years... until then though, I think I will be happy with the MX4. Well see... it's all been sitting here in my hallway waiting for my truck to get built... hopefully next Tuesday if all goes as planned! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextLevel Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I love my retrax! I’m actUally going to take it off my 350 and put it on the 450 if it ever comes in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMBKaren41 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Anyone have a hood deflector that they love? We have a Weathertech on our 2013 F250 that is totally fine, but I'm curious if there is anything even better. We thought about getting the Ford one that says Super Duty with Ford Pass points but it's absurdly expensive (seems like a waste). Any suggestions?

Im planning on putting a cap on mine with the fifth wheel prep since the times I'll use the hitch will be rare but would definitely do a roll up tonneau if I used it a lot.

Edunn37 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 My top three accessories are definitely the retractable cover, bed mat (over the spray in liner) and gen-y mega duty drop hitch. The bed mat really saves your knees when crawling around the bed. I usually keep my hitch on all of the time. The gen-y is not only functional, but it really provides some protection from oblivious people parking in parking lots. You just need to watch your knees and shins around the back of the truck...

skkyking Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I have always had a cap for work, but have slowed down a little bit due to age, and have been thinking of a tonneau cover instead. Just have to figure out what works with my fifth wheel travel trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrickhw Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Truck is on order and so far I have ordered an ARE Z series topper and the tremor valence. I will order weathertech no drill mud flaps once I get a little closer. I need to decide if I want to try a bedrug or stick with my el cheapo rubber mat and scrap of carpet in the bed.

Rivert0n! Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 In the interest of bed covers, has anyone worked with or used a "diamond back" style cover? They look quite secure, come in a few configurations and depending on the model they can support a significant load on top. The bed mat sounds like a great addition, any brand suggestions to look at?
