Tonneau cover recommendations
Morning guys. I’ve been around FTE for a while, but down in the lowly 7.3 diesel side. Just picked up my first new vehicle ever. ‘18 F150 2.7 CC XLT 4x4 with the 5.5 bed. I’m currently building a dually powerstroke OBS, so this truck will be mainly tasked with hauling the family and some very light loads. So far I’m thrilled with it. Except the darn auto S/S. I’ll be reading up on how to disable that soon. Anyway, looking for a a trifold hard tonneau cover or something similar that you guys have had good luck with. Not really trying to break the bank. The project truck eats up a lot of funds. While we are in here, weather tech vs husky floor liners? Thanks guys. Looking forward to this side of things and a truck that I don’t have to work on!

I got the X2 revolver rolling cover. Only a few leaks at the back and really like the looks of it. I originally was going to get a tri-fold but once I saw the hard rolling cover I knew it was best for me. Only con I have is that the straps to fasten when its rolled up is ackward, not horrible but could use improvement.

I got the undercover untraflex after reading all of the bad reviews on Bakflip.

My daughter and I both got them and could not be happier.

I have a soft rollup cover, it's an Extang Revolution. I like it and it keeps my things covered.
Auto SS....there are some tricks to disable it. However, after driving my truck for a few weeks, I've gotten used to it and can control when it stops/starts.
1. You can keep it from activating by using lighter pressure on the brake pedal while stopped, being in sport/tow mode, having your wheels turned at a sharp angle, or by hitting the button on the dash.
2. If it is activated and you want to restart the engine for any reason: lessen the pressure on your brake pedal, adjust your HVAC temperature a few degrees, click the sport/tow button on your shifter, open your drivers door.....those are just a few off the top of my head.

If you call some of the online retailers they will give you a better price over the phone. I know I saved quite a bit then they had a $75 MFG rebate on top of that. Still not cheap but took some of the sting out.

I have a 2017 F150 ecoboost with a 6.5 foot bed . I purchased a Ranch fiberglass tonneau cover, they matched the paint perfectly. The cost was about $1150.00 installed
I have Weather Tech floor liners just for the front. they fit well but I've found that salt doesn't wash from them very easily. For the price next time I'm going to try Husky Finally the best thing thing that I've done to my truck is disable the auto start stop feature. Its very easy to do all you need is a laptop software from Forscan and an OBD link. There are several post in here telling you exactly how to do it
