I'm strongly considering installing a folding aluminum tonneau cover on my 2014 F350 dually. I pull a 5th wheel so I want to be able to partially open it to access my hitch without having to remove the cover completely. I'm leaning toward the REV Ford Authorized unit or the Bak Flip G2. I can get the BaK Flip for a couple hundred less than the REV, but the cost is not as big an issue as quality and durability. G2=1 yr warranty, REV=3yr warranty. If anyone has experience with either of these products, or another brand, I'm looking for some current input.


Note: I found a post on this subject, but it was from 2010. Just looking for more current opinions. Thanks

 

I vote for BAK. I have the rollbak on my 350. My dad put the g2 on his. Great customer service, high quality products, zero issues in 2 yrs 25k miles so far. For a fifth wheel set up, g2 for sure

 

A friend just put a BakFlip on his 15 Platinum . I liked the way it worked. Seemed sturdy enough, the channels on the side have a drain pipe that directs the water to below the bed. The channel works but it's something you have to make sure stays clean.

 

Thanks for the input. I've decided on the bakflip g2. Picking it up on Thur.

 

I use the Advance Cover have had 4 since 2000. Just removed one from my 11 to put on the 15 dually.

 

New BAK Flip G2 cover. Covers my Fith wheel hitch with about 1" clearance. Fold back 3 sections and i have access to my hitch without having to remove the cover. So far so good. Seems to be a well made product.

 

Looks really good.

 

I got the Bak Flip G2 for my '06 F250 a while back and I'm extremely pleased with it and how versatile it is with the sections. One of the best purchases I've made for the rig.

 

Had a Pace Edwards Bedlocker on my F260 short box, and now have one on my F350 DRW. Love them. But a little spendy, great if you can swing the cost.

 

This is the cover I want to get. You say 1 inch clearance to your hitch but how high is your hitch head? Mine sits pretty high but slightly below the bed rails.

 

Where is the best deal on that Bak Flip? I have a roll-up vinyl cover now which is okay, but may want to switch out to something a little more substantial...

How is it for water penetration?
Has anyone had one ice-up and become non-functional yet?

 

How does the bedlocker work in ice and snow, if yours has seen any?

 

+1, ? I know the surface is strong enough for the snow to be easily swept off with a push-broom but what about ice in the joints?

 

Its not aluminum (vinyl) but if you are looking for a simple inexpensive way - I have the Tonno pro trifold on my 350 A friend recommended it. It was 250 bucks. Installs in about 5 mins and have kept out the water really well.

It's like this one.

 

I personally did not experience any trouble with mine on my 2011 short box, and my new one hasnt seen any snow so far
