Who has or knows of bed covers that work with the bed extender? I hadn't thought of this being an issue until I read somebody had a problem with a cover not being compatible. Further, has anyone purchased this cover? It looks pretty cool (4-way opening, easy removal), albeit a bit pricey. It might be worth the flexibility, though. The bed extender in the picture is exactly the one I have, BTW.
I have the Extang RT (low profile) soft tonneau. My stock bed extender fits easily between the rails. I called on several other brands prior to purchase, most indicated that the rails were too wide to allow the bed extender to work.
Just my thoughts, but I have an '04 F-150 SCREW 4x4, and there is no way (but I'm only 5'9") that I could access anything from the side of the box...heck, the only way I could grab anything out of it would be to drop the tailgate.
Guess what I'm saying is, I wouldn't spend extra for "4-way" opening, if I'd never be able to use it.
I agree with 3Mike6, however, I chose the automatic bedlocker more for convenience and also for the water tight seal I have experienced. With it being automatic, it also makes it very easy to open and close since the 04 f-150 screws are so high.
I just ran mine through the old gas station carwash (high) power, and I did not take on any water at all.
