Tonneau Covers

What cover have you chosen for your towing vehicle?

I had chosen to go the BakIndustries for the Revolver X2. After the second replacement, the service department shared that the RAM truck bed and this cover are not compatible.

So trying their BakFlip model as an alternative.
Looking forward to learning what has worked for you.

I use a Truxedo X15 roll up tonneau on my F350. I like it.

I've been using the four fold Bakflip model on out 2007 RAM 3500 for five years and love it.

I have the X2 on my 2016 RAM. Just put in for new X2 under warranty. They would not let me get a different cover under replacement. I would prefer a different model.

The support staff shared that the RAM box tapers and the engineers have not resolved it. The weight of the roll destroyed the cover and forced the pins to bend off the rails.
It never rolled or unrolled nicely. My brother has one on his F350 and I found out just how nice they are supposed to be.

After my second incident with the X2, they are recommending a replacement using the BAKFlips. Absolutely great support team

I just installed the retractable Pace Edwards Ultragroove. They have addressed the tapered bed issue. It was easy to install, and looks great. It was about $1300. Click image for larger version

We have the Truxedo Pro X15. Its a soft roll up, couldn't ask for anything more. Nice cover, convertible top style material (not shiny).

~$500 on amazon.

Pro X15 here too. I like the fact that there isnt a giant canister in the bed.
