Ram Truck Advantage

Bak Industries is one of the many manufacturers of a tonneau cover. One of the most preferred by pickup truck owners among the Bakflip tonneau covers is the Bakflip F1. The reason for this is because this is the top truck cover among the many tonneaus that they produce. This is the folding type and is the thickest of their truck covers. Many people suggest this as they found it to be better than any other folding tonneaus they have known.

The Bakflip F1 is a hard type truck bed cover of the folding kind. It can be folded all the way up to the front of the truck bed and secured with the use of two arms. The rear window can be covered and protected especially when cargo or other things are thrown into the truck bed. The panels of this cover are composed of EPS core with high density sandwiched between the aluminum and fiberglass top. The panels are joined together by hinges of seamless rubber which the company boasts of, as they say that this material is so durable it will outlast your truck.

The Bakflip F1 does not have a lock but can be latched securely underneath the truck bed cover. This can be opened easily by lowering the tailgate. However, if there is really a need to lock it, a tailgate lock can be purchased and added since this is an aftermarket part used to provide extra security to your cargo area. Many people though, dislike putting locks situated on top of the tonneau since moisture may get in and freeze up the locks.

Bak Company created this hard tonneau cover so that up to 400 pounds of cargo can be spread on top of the cover, providing an added space for placing cargo. This cover can withstand harsh weather conditions like rough snow, strong rain, and hail; and even from extreme heat from the sun. Even if it is also exposed to the sun, it stays cool to the touch. The cover is also equipped with UV coating as an added protection to keep it longer-lasting and will still look good after many years of use.

The Bakflip F1 is considered by many as their top choice because of its functionality and craftsmanship. The cover looks great on your truck since it is low profile and sits at level with the truck railings. This cover can be folded entirely hence, very beneficial if you need to haul tall and large cargo and need to have full access of the truck bed. Installation is done between the sides of the truck allowing you to utilize the holes already at the side rails. Tie downs and racks that are at level with the truck cab or above it can also be used, features that other folding truck bed covers don’t have.

These are the features of the Bakflip F1 and if these are what you are looking for in a tonneau, then it is really worth a try.
