Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Truck Bed Tonneau Cover - Heavy-Duty Truck Bed Protection - Durable Aluminum Panels - Hard Folding Tonneau Cover - 2015-2020 Ford F-150 (incl. Raptor) - 5'7" Bed

My son has the soft top version, which was incredibly easy to remove and/or install. I work in a urban area where a soft top cover would be cut with a knife, just because, so I ordered the 3-panel hard surface unit. The 3-panel unit has two internal side rails you have to install, unlike the soft top which has no internal rails requiews. Watch the Gator video on how to install the rails and the 3-panel unit; they have some great hints for installation. Everything went well during the installation. The only item I'm having an issue with is the front foam seal which is installed along the front edge of the truck bed. I installed the unit in my heated garage and ensured the bed liner was warm before installing the foam seal along the front edge of the bed; it is not holding in the cold weather. As the eddy currents between the rear window and the front edge of the truck increase during highway/interstate driving, the foam seal is working its way loose and is exposed. I have to keep tucking the foam seal back under the rubber trim seal of the front panel. I'll apply a more permanent adhesive to the foam seal once summer is here to hold it in place. Otherwise, when you close the tailgate up against the last panel, you hear this nice solid thud when closing. I know the unit is not advertised as "water-tight" per se, but it's pretty darn close and it looks great.

I have been literally looking at bed covers for the past 15 years and never bit the bullet. I was skeptical of a bed cover in the $200 price range, but decided to give a try since the reviews were positive. In short, I have no idea why on earth I waited so long. I'm very pleased with the cover, it looks good, fits well and is very easy to install. We drove down the beach last week, it was a 3 hour trip in the pouring rain and there was no water in the bed. A few drops probably got in but for all intents and purposes it was pretty much bone dry. I really like the tensioning mechanism that locks it closed unless you open the tailgate. Since my tail gate locks it does a good job of hiding and providing some security to items in the bed. The cover rolls up nicely and the straps seem to secure it well; also the velcro does a nice job of holding it down on the sides. Something you can't see in the pictures is that there are two bars attached to the bottom of the cover by velcro straps that provides center support to the cover while it's deployed. I would definitely recommend this cover to anyone looking. I included a pic of the rails to show how they do intrude about 3/4" into the opening of the bed.

This tonneau cover is awesome! I've owned several of the cheap vinyl roll up covers on my trucks before, but this one is amazing. I installed it by myself and took my time. A 2nd person would have made easier, but was still simple to install. Took me about 2 hours. It's not heavy at all. But definitely sturdy and well built. Packaged came with no visible damage and after unpacking and checking, everything was perfect and all parts were there. I'm still in awe at how sleek and low profile this cover is. Makes my truck look even better. Haven't driven in rain to test water leakage cause I just installed it. I checked all areas underneath and see no light coming through. The only possible spot for water to get through would be at the corners of tailgate area. I do see some small gaps there. Nothing is perfect when it comes to truck tonneau covers. Anyways, I love this cover and couldn't be happier with my purchase!!

The factory installed one went bad at about the 4 year mark - warped, filled with water and deteriorated. This one is designed the same way. It’s easy to install especially when you are replacing one and know what to do. The panels fit nicely and are very lightweight and easy to flip. It has a buckle feature with straps under the panels so that you can secure it when all panels are up. The exterior buckle isn’t that attractive but it’s necessary. Function better than looks in this case. The drain tubes they provide are a bit flimsy and they only have them for the front. My old one had front and rear. I was able to work them into the existing tubes easily. I was able to use the “old” tube holder for the back since it slid into the new track. It’s not as water tight as I would like which is why I gave it 4 stars. Otherwise it’s good. Let’s see if it lasts longer than the original one. At about the same price I hope so.

I originally bought my cover to just hide my items in back of my truck from thieving eyes. I did not think a cheap cover would make a water tight seal. But this cover will make a water tight seal on a 2019 F150. I’m not sure if it works on all trucks, but it works on mine. Now if I take a pressure washer and stand and spray some of the corners, a little bit of water will leak into the bed at the edges. But it’s not enough to make me worry that my stuff will be wet. In my experience, I have not had rain water leak into the bed while driving or sitting still. Onto the install, I had no experience putting one of these covers onto a truck before. I would say it probably took my brother and I longer to install than it should have. The instruction are not the best so I opted to use their YouTube video or a video here on Amazon (can’t remember) for a how to install. The hardest part is connecting/sliding the cover into the metal frame connected at the front of the bed. We finally got it slid into the grove only to find out we had the cover upside down. Other than that it’s not hard to install if you follow the how to video. I’m sure if you took the time and got the angles almost perfect the cover would be water tight against anything. Mine has been through about 20,000 miles and the elements and still works as intended. I have had no issues at any speed (including the factory set speed limit) incase anyone is wondering about that. I will say if you do not intend to carry anything like a 4 wheeler or anything that takes the whole bed of the truck and is taller than the cover, I would suggest getting a hard cover that is foldable. This is because it is tedious to roll and unroll the cover multiple times in a day. Other than that, this cover is perfect.

15-20 min install, fits like a glove! Happy with the purchase!

Purchased for my husband's F150. Fits perfect, looks great. Water resistant so far. Functions and rolls great. So far durable we have had it for about 3 months. Half the price as we found down town. The one down town had a heavier material but so far this has done very well. We are pleased and find it to be of good value

Easy to install and very durable.
