Installed my Bakflip G2 cover today. High quality product. For those of you looking for a nice hard cover that works with a fifth wheel hitch you might want to consider this one.
They are nice. I've got to say though, the long bed version has bigger panels and there are 4 of them. The product is not built sturdy enough to hold up to daily use because the long bed version is so much heavier. I still like it and all but mine is close to falling apart completely after 18 months. The rear panel has delaminated from itself, the latches don't engage, and I expect it to fail any day now. I think it's just not up to the extra weight for long beds.
The short ones I've had lasted forever and the one on my dads f150 has also lasted, so all in all, it's a decent cover.
I had the F1 version on my SB 2011 and liked it. Came with a 3 year warranty where the G2 comes with only a 1 year warranty. Was a good product for me. Have nothing on my 2015.
I got a G2 on the back of my short bed for 3 years now. Love it overall. It has some dings and dents from over the years. However, it has held up to the "abuse". Two things I don't like. The tracks hold a ton of junk. So if you do mulch in the spring and summer, just take the whole unit off. If you have the plastic bed liner, you lose about an inch of cargo space. I love the flat look of the cover but my big cooler does not fit under the cover by 3/4 of an inch. Other than that, it works nicely as a rear bench in the truck for me and the family when needed. Did really well in the large snowstorms we had over the last couple of years. This year I had over 28 inches at one time and just a brush off.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Hopefully this one will do right by me. I had a Peragon cover on my 2013 F250 which was also a nice cover but it would not work with a fifth wheel hitch in the bed because of the way it folds.
