Rodney...excuse my ignorance, maybe this is a motorized cover. What are the wires for coming through the bed grommets?

No, not motorized. The tubes going through the grommets are drain tubes for the canister.

I had the P/E Electric Bedlocker with remote control on my 2005 F350. Loved it! but that was before I got a 5th wheel. Ended up having to sell it, because it wouldnt fit on my 2011 F350, so i went with a Diamondback HD. Now days, the Diamondback is only used in the winter months when I remove the hitch.

I like the switchblade. I already know that the Diamondback wont fit 2017 and up, so maybe this will be my next cover in a few years maybe in 2021.

OK, that makes sense now. I guess the water would need to go somewhere.

They are quick release too Tyler. Just twist and pull and they come right out of the canister. Or you can pull them out of the grommets. Pretty easy either way if you need to remove the cover.

I'm not a big fan of bed covers, but that is one of the nicest I've seen. Looks great.

You should see my sons RX8, triangles everywhere to symbolize the rotary

Nice interior... My GM trucks always had comfortable interiors....
My most comfortable truck I've had was the 97 K1500 with the velour seats

Revolver looks good. Need to figure out what cover I can put on and still have clear access to the hitch when stored. On the LB the BakFlip worked well as I store things at the front of the box when towing and they were sheltered. Don't want a rolling cover as I took off the RollNLOck when I got the F350, they jam up with the ice we get up here. I might go to anothe BakFlip but the one I had would always let water into the box at either end.

Not sure how many of the items that are on the Chev are on the new Fords.

I like the electric tgate lock.
I might miss the trailer mileage counter.
My wife will miss the lifetime Sirius I had. Not paying for a sub as I don't listen to it.
I'll probably miss the pwr extend mirrors as I never remember to extend them until we are moving down the road.
The head unit comes up way faster after starting. With my '11 I had already backed up and started to go forward before it turned on.
I'll find out this winter how well the exh brk works, the Ford was OK though.
No Trans temp in the main cluster, have to go through the LCD screens.
I like not having a dually so far, towing might change my mind when the crosswinds are strong.
My '11 had a dead pedal off the line, had to pedal it to get boost to pull out. The Chev is like a gas engine, instant power.

I only want a cover so I can secure the bed contents when travelling.

Just noticed the list in your sig. You've gone through quite a number of trucks in recent yrs.

Yo Rodney, you running the nokian tyres now? What size? Rotiva?

I need tires and somehow my amazon cart lost the tires I had bookmarked from when you posted about it a few months back.
