The Ford is a Retrax that has been rebranded.

I have a Retrax Pro with the roof rail tracks in the side rails, I love it. It is my 3rd one, first two were the polycarbonate, this one is the aluminum, it is really strong, and so far, doesn't let it much moisture at all.

I've had a Retrax Pro on my last two trucks and I will have a Retrax Pro on the next one.

What’s wrong with a Peragon cover? Why don’t people like them? It looks like a pretty slick set up in their videos.

I like my Peragon. Metal, retracts into the bed so doesn’t cover the window, and is easily removable so no lost bed space vs the kind that “roll up” in the bed.

Based on the research I did and the feedback I got from several people that I know personally, I purchased the Retrax Pro with the rails. Waiting on my new truck to arrive, and excited to install it. I have had experience with several other "high end" (expensive) covers and have not been that impressed with some.

another vote fro Retrax here. Only have it for ~6 months but so far so good. Easy to install, works well and loss of bed space is minimal.

I have a 8 ft 2020 bed cover for sale if any one is interested. Just like the one in the pic "2020F250" posted above. I will make someone a deal. Located in Atlanta Georgia.

Not sure if it's the best or not, but my dealer installed a manual, accordion style "Roll-n-Lock" on my 2020. Looks pretty nice and snugs up very well to the tailgate to keep out the elements.

Weird. Mine is bone dry back there after going through high pressure car wash.
