I think that I have decided on this cover for my F350, anyone have any bad experiences with this cover? Who has found the best price?

 

Just remember it will block your CHMSL if equipped. This is the only reason I don't have one.

 

This was a cyber Monday deal I got from bakflip.com
Haven't received it yet, to comment on it though.

 

I called AutoAnything.com and they give a great price over the phone. Mine was like 815.00. It is a nice cover, but definitely blocks the camera on my long box.

 

i was going to go with that but i found a better cover and cheaper! Fords version of there hard rolling cover! call ford parts!

 

 

Look at Fold-a Cover, very nice sturdy, pretty water proof. Has 4 sections (if you have an 8ft. bed) that folds up and doesn't block your rear window or camera....$850 shipped.

 

Mine was 980 installed. I like it. I don't like the fact that it has to rest on the cab when all the way up. Was the best solution for me.

That sure looks like my BakFlip Revolver X2. But mine doesn't have 'Ford' on it.

I put the Revolver on my '13 350. Liked it so much I ordered a second one for my newly ordered 350. Get the cover tomorrow. Get the truck in 3 months?.?...:-)

I'm torn between the mx4 or the revolver x2. I Like the look of the mx4 a little better and like how you don't have to lift it to close the tailgate but don't care much to push it against the cab if I need it all the way up. My in-laws got the revolver and like it for the most part but have had some issues with it, they were driving down the freeway and noticed it was fluttering in the wind so they had to pull over and roll it up and also it somehow tore at the edge for no reason (or so they say). I'm pretty sure they got the problems taken care of but never heard why it went wrong. It seems like the revolver would also do a better job of keeping water out as the top is all one piece, the g2 on my current truck lets a little bit of water in at the panel seams.

 

I have to push real hard to get the X2 close to the cab. Normally it is about 2 inches or so from the cab. Also, when you roll it out, occasionally some of the pieces that get grabed by the lock system will miiss the lock. This is because of the very close tolerances of the locks. This will cause a lump in the cover where they are missed. I assume this is what caused the flutter going down the highway. As it wears in a little, this will go away.

Ssoundwave, where did you find the Ford cover cheaper? Seems like the places I have found it want more than the revolver. Do you mind sharing the price that you paid?

 

I just plan to take my MX4 off if I ever need the full bed, for more than just a short trip. It's light and has 2 hand turn **** nuts (not sure what they're called) that require no tools to remove. Actually quicker to remove than my current vinyl tri fold. Here's a pic of 1 of the 2 "*****" that you need to remove, to lift off the cover, rails stay in place.

 

I too was trying to decide between the MX4 and Revolver for my F150. I ended up with the MX4 because I like the look better and was told that the Revolver can vibrate or rattle in the wind (which I HATED with my Truxedo).

I ordered mine from Luke at truckalterations.com. He had the best price and I ordered on a Monday afternoon and it was at my house Wednesday at 11am. I installed it that day and am perfectly happy with it.

 

They have about a 3-4 year life before they start delaimnating or separating.
This makes the minor leaking problem worse as water pools on the individual segments and leaks through the joints.

My theory is that the heat causes the separation. They do get extremely hot in sun.

I went with a Diamondback this time.
