Best Tonneau cover to get

Looking to add a tonneau cover to my short bed F150. What is the best rated ones out there? Any pros/cons? I am specifically looking at types that roll up. No hard of folding types. I am wondering if they all have lateral bows to prevent sagging, pooling of water in the center and flapping at speed.

TIA

Leer Trilogy. No rails to attach when installed. COMPLETE removal in one minute. About 99.999999% waterproof. Nuff said.

I have the American Tonneau Covers tri-fold on my 2018. Easy install. Great fit and finish. Very inexpensive compared to the Extang covers I have on my other trucks. NOT water tight!! Leaks in heavy rain. It just doesn't seem to seal around the F150 plastic bed and tailgate caps correctly.

I love the cover. Hate the water.

I have a Retrax Pro Mx on my truck. This is my second Retrax, and I have been very happy with them. The cover is all aluminum, locks open in any position, and is 99% waterproof. I like the matte black finish too.

best for what? What are your requirements and price range? If you want to carry gear, get a Diamondback.

I bought and installed a Peragon cover. It's a folding cover that's easily recoverable. I really like it and it also locks.

I can't recommend the Peragon cover enough.

However, if you're looking for someone to do it for you and drive away, then go to Leonard down on Rt 17 and Oyster Point Rd in Newport News.

Thanks for all the responses! I am specifically looking at types that roll up. No hard of folding types. Sorry for lining that out in my original post! I am wondering if they all have lateral bows to prevent sagging, pooling of water in the center and flapping at speed.

I have the ultraflex from Undercover. Much better fit and finish then bakflips. Plus the online reviews were better too. I think it is a great folding cover if that is what you are looking for.

I have had the Access Limited on my last two trucks and would buy again if needed. The first one I had on my 2007 Sierra was is perfect shape in 2015 when I got rid of it. I never even had to re-adjust the tension on it. I now have the same cover on my '15 XLT. 99.9% water tight. And one of the best looking roll up's IMHO.

Access Limited.

I have the Truxedo Lo-Pro, and like it so far. They have an X-15 that looks nice as well.

I Have a Extang Tonneau for my 2015 F150. It works well for my use. It is a hard cover, not folding. If you take it off you have to unbolt the tie-down bolt and then you can fold one layer back and unbolt remaining tie down bolts, and remove.
Good luck on your search

Bak Revolver X2 is what I run. Very nice. Had to adjust the seal on the tailgate to keep it from leaking water but otherwise it is a great cover. Hard rolling cover.
