Cover
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.

You can open and close your tailgate with the cover closed.
This video will help you.

I wonder if that cover would work with this rack. The pics they have looks like its installed with a revolver x2/x4. How much room is there between the pocket stake and the cover?
Te Peragon covers are made in Wisconsin. The tracks and roller bearings are built such that they'll shed / clear any ice and snow that may build up. Naturally the cover would need to be swept off prior to opening if covered in snow or ice.
The Peragon is perhaps one of the best built and least expensive covers available.

It's powder coated aircraft aluminum. I set lihter boxes and such on all the time but I wouldn't recommend any serious weight nor would I stand on it.
My stake pockets are fully available but if the stake takes up more space outside the pocket then I'd recommend that you call Peragon and ask.

Todd, I have a Peragon cover that I installed last October. As Tim mentioned, it is a durable cover and IMO is quiet. There is nothing to flap around in the wind as your are driving.
It comes standard with a keyed lock that locks on the driver side right behind the cab. You have the option of ordering it with a dual deadbolt lock which adds another locking point the passenger side. It is easily removed if the full bed is needed, yet the rails will stay attached to the truck.
So far, I have been quite impressed with it and look forward to many years of use. Click on the link in my signature and you will find pictures of my install.

Have any of you with the Peragon had the issue of stuff sliding up front then not being able to open the cover? seems to be one of the main complaints in the reviews. Any one have the leaking issues a number have mentioned.
Im stuck between the peragon and the revolver x2. Both should work with the adarac pocket stake ladder rack for my kayak but one rolls up on the top and one folds to the bottom.

I have a 6.5' bed and when the cover is open. there is about 10-12" between the cover and the bed floor. There is no interference issues if something slides to the front as long as it is not taller than the space mentioned.
As far as leaks, I do have on occasion after severe rain and wind some very minimal water inside the bed. I believe that it is coming from where the seal on the back edge of the cover meets with the inside lip of the tailgate. I think that once I make some minor adjustments to the front to back position of the cover, it will take care of the leak.
I am sure that Tim or others that have them will chime in.

Mine also leaks a bit during heavy rain but I think mine is coming from the front seal. As Neil mentioned, a small adjustment.
I found that putting items that must stay absolutely dry in a tote is the best and easiest way to transport. As far as items sliding forward, I keep a three prong garden rake in the back to hook stuff. Additionally, I have a piece of wood in a pocket that will hold items between it and the tailgate.

You also asked about WeatherTech vs. Husky. I have one each floor liners (not floor mats) in my vehicles; F150 KR and Yukon XL.
Fit: WeatherTech, but not by much and it may be vehicle dependent. The Husky is in my F150.
Other: Husky is softer material that goes in and out easier and doesn't seem to take a set if you crush a lip. The color is a push.
Price: It appears that the Husky is slightly more costly.
Winner: Husky by a nose.

Ordered the peragon cover today. Added the no drill install kit, stainless hardware and the tailgate seal kit. Looking forward to installing it and I’ll post some pics when it’s in.

I found a set of ford mats that look very similar to the weather tech and husky for a very good price. I may try these.

I'm not a fanboy or a cheerleader but simply impressed that there is actually an American company that places quality and customer satisfaction above all else. It's a rare attribute these days.

The BakFlip MX4 is fairly popular with a lot of guys here. That's what I've had on my last 2 pickups.
