Tonneau Cover
I’m sure there are threads on this subject… but on a quick note, when my 450 arrives I’d like a cover that allows easy use of a gooseneck hitch when needed, and one that offers food weather and security protection. I’ve been eyeing the hard ro;l-up that Ford offers,…any thoughts or sugggestions??

I thinking about editing my build as the cover Ford is selling looks like the RETRAX, and $1,695 is a good price for that cover in a Long Bed. The only reason I'm hesitating is that it will negatively impact my CCC sticker and I want the biggest number possible at time of print.

I ordered the Ford hard folding tonneau and really hope it’s a Bak because I want the Bakbox but am not sure what I will get….
Also as far as the CCC sticker mentioned above, I assume you are talking about the sticker in the door with the payload. I’ve asked this before and the general consensus is that aftermarket parts aren’t included since these are sent offsite for installation. I also have a console safe in mine, but I don’t expect the sticker to reflect the safe or the tonneau. Regardless, my first stop will be to top off fuel, then to the scales.

Good info. The BAK hard roll up looks to be about the same price from Ford as from other suppliers I looked up, and I like the Ford logo added.
When I search for REV I sure do get a lot of BAK filtered in…. They look to be at least in some way connected.

After a LOT of research I decided to go with the BAK Revolver X4. I live in Canada and the Retrax and other like it that have a canister don’t work well once a bit of snow or ice get in to the slats.
I had a tri-fold version before and it was decent but I didn’t like the fact that it rested against the cab of the truck, and the last fold got heavy from the ground.

Truck Hero is the parent company of several bed cover brands, including BAK, but they don't show Rev as being one. Kind of a mystery for now.

I had a Bak revolver for a couple years on my '13 350 DRW. With my '21 450, I chose the Retrax.
None of these are perfect in terms of design or quality. I loved the Revolver for looks and ease of use. However, the felt hand protectors on the underside fell off almost immediately, leaving a very sticky mess. Also, it kinked from traveling rolled up for extended periods while towing my 5'er. Bak replaced it under warranty, but the second one suffered the exact same problems.
I don't like the canister of the Retrax, but it is definitely more secure, seems more durable, and is also easy to use.
