As premier cover within the BAKFlip family the F1 has a rich, high-gloss FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer) top surface which provides superior dent, ding and scratch resistance. Heavy-duty aluminum panels line the underside, giving the cover its strength and durability. Together, these make the F1 top of the line BAKFlip, offering a stylish and secure cover for the long haul. Besides, being equipped with the novelty drainage system that makes water move to the side drains and then reach the front hoses to run out of your truck, the cover prevents any moisture from entering the truck bed. This accessory allows you 100% access to your cargo thanks to its folding panels and locking arm pivots that secure the cover.

The F1’s rugged design is made to perform in severe working and weather conditions. Rain, hail or snow – the F1 has you covered. Quickly and easily fold and lock the cover in the flipped up position for hauling large loads. The F1’s advanced infrastructure and upgraded components provide unrivaled strength and security. Thanks to the slam latch system, the panels of this tonneau cover lock automatically, and all you need to do is to pull on the release cable to unlock the panels. The installation doesn't need any special skills or tools. You should just clamp the rails, drop the cover on them, and attach the drain hoses to have the item set up. In order to keep it in proper condition, you need to wash the cover with soap and water every so often. In conclusion, the add-on is covered by a 5-year warranty, so you can buy with complete confidence.

Love My BakFlip!
Glad that it had 2 sets of directions, but one little problem. Ranger instructions did not have "put on the gasket strip on the front of the bed before the cover gets set on". We had to go back and undo a few pieces we were putting together for the top tonneau cover, put the tape strip on and start again. That being said, I would tell everyone what a great item this is and how happy I am with it. The item was received quickly and in perfect condition, and we were informed every step of the way for its arrival. Quality Piece.

Extra Security at a Reasonable Price
Install was not that hard. Caution the steps on the instructions do matter. Step 9 where you screw in the back flip female snap in portion before you mount to truck bed is important.

BakFlip F1 Cover
Looks good, operating good. Doesn't keep water out. Leaks in several places.

Worth the Investment.
The product looks great, performs great, fits great, and overall is very easy to install. I am very happy with the purchase of this product and how it works even after a couple of weeks. It is very easy to operate and I believe it is really strong and sturdy.

Tonneau Cover
On the truck for two weeks. This product fits the truck perfectly. Surprisingly easy to install. I'm slightly concerned about the rubber seals... They are important for the performance. I hope they hold up, but they seem to be high quality. Not cheap but I don't feel bad about the investment.

Easy to Install, Looks Great
This cover was a breeze to install, took me about an hour and just average tools you'd probably find in any toolbox. It fits perfectly well and I love how it doesn't take up too much space inside the bed.

BakFlip F1 Folding Tonneau Cover
I wanted the BakFlip F1 Tonneau Cover to complete my after-market accessories for my new 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 (an awesome truck!). I wanted to be able to lock up my tools while on the job site, our luggage while on trips, to be able to use the entire truck-bed without having to remove the cover, etc. and have a cover that was weather tight. The BakFlip does all this and more. Since installing the cover (which only took me 1.5 hours to install, with a little help to lift it in place once the rails were attached), I have had many compliments about how it looks on the truck. People ask me to show them how it works; this happens at gas stations, stores, parking lots, and at the job site. I'm surprised it gets that much attention. It does look very nice and the cover is well designed and manufactured. It's easy to open and close, as well. When I took it to the car wash for the first time, I noticed it leaked, but only a little bit. After adjusting the cover (which BAK suggests you do after its installed), it doesn't leak anymore. I didn't have it tightened down enough to allow the front seal to seal properly, so make sure you check to see if there are any openings after installation, by looking under the cover for light coming through. I recommend this product to anyone who wants a hard truck-bed cover to secure valuables that won't fit in the passenger cab and a cover that can be opened partially or entirely, for hauling any size/type of materials or equipment, without having to remove the entire cover. BTW, BAK says it can be used for tail-gating, because you can sit and stand on it, it's that strong and they're right.

Backflip Tonneau Installed On Ford F150
I installed the backflip tonneau on a Ford F150 with a 6 1/2 foot box. The installation went great, in 30 minutes, with a perfect fit. The cover looks great and functions well. Use over time will determine how the cover holds up. This cover can be left installed while using a 5th wheel hitch, just two flips back and it is locked in place. Pricey but high quality materials.

Great Product
I purchased a new 2013 Ford-F-250. This product fits great and the appearance really shows off the truck. The installation took minutes. I would recommend two-people in order to line-up the bed cover. No tools or drilling. Watch the "installation"video and that will save time when you install yours... Great product.
