Bed Cover
What kind of bed cover are you thinking of getting? I have the ford cover on my 2015 F150 and its ok. Not sure if there are any better.
Someone mentioned Retrax but looks like it takes up room in the bed.

I was just a a campground where someone had one. I love that you can stop the retraction at any spot. The owner had his closed partially to cover the front of his bed and open from his 5th wheel hitch back. Very slick.

The three roll-back covers that I have seen the most positive reviews are:
Pace Edwards, Truck Covers and Retrax. I know on previous sites that I've been part of if there are enough people interested in an item there is typically a bulk discount and they ship directly to your house.
If I had my druthers it would be one which takes up the least amount of room when rolled up and that locks in multiple positions (for pulling a trailer or having other items in the bed. Aluminum construction and preferably a lock/handle on the drivers side to make it easier to close where I want it (versus a pull rope).

Really easy to install yourself (may need a helper for lifting the roller/drum). Takes up about 10 inches on the cab side of the bed. It's about a 10x10 square. I would imagine it would be a free install if yo bored gut it from a shop but I am going to order online after shopping around.
