Features:
The BAKFlip F1 tonneau cover delivers top-of-the-line truck bed protection and a tough, stylish look. This heavy-duty, quad-fold cover keeps your truck bed and cargo dry, cuts down on wind drag to improve your fuel mileage, and allows for full truck bed access without having to be removed. And because this tonneau mounts inside of your truck bed side rails, you get a low-profile look and you can still use your stake pockets to mount accessories.
Convenient Folding Design
One of the BAKFlip F1's most attractive features is that it can be folded all the way up and remain securely positioned on your truck while you are driving, even at highway speeds. This means that you can haul large cargo without having to completely remove the tonneau. Simply unlatch each of the panels, fold them one on top of the other, and flip them back so that they sit upright against the cab of your truck.
Then flip up the prop rods that are attached to the tonneau's frame rails, slide the brackets on the cover down over the rods, and tighten the knobs on the brackets to secure the upright cover in place. Rubber bumpers on the cover prevent it from marking your cab or scratching the glass of your rear windshield. When the tonneau is in this position, your vehicle's third brake light will remain visible.
If you want to maintain visibility out of your rear window, you can secure the folded panels of the cover without propping them up against the cab using the tie-down straps and buckles included with the cover. Just fold up the first 3 panels of the cover, leaving the panel closest to the cab latched in place. Make sure both buckle clips are inserted into the buckle ends on the front header panel of the cover and adjust the straps to ensure the cover is secure.
Simple, One-Person Operation
The F1 is easy to operate. To unlatch the rear panel, drop your tailgate and pull either of the 2 release cords located along the bottom corners of the panel's housing. Either cord will release both of the integrated latches so that you can lift up the panel. To unlatch the second, third, and fourth panels, pull the easy-to-reach release cords built into the corners of those panels. As a safety measure and to help you get to your gear in the dark, the F1 includes emergency release handles on both sides of your truck bed that glow in the dark.
To close the cover, simply fold the panels back down. Each panel will securely latch back into place under its own weight. When your tailgate is closed and locked, no one will be able to get in to open the cover, thus safeguarding your truck bed and its contents. The fiberglass-reinforced polymer construction will also prevent anyone from peeling the cover up at the sides or cutting through its center, ensuring additional security.
Heavy-Duty Construction
The BAKFlip F1's rugged construction makes it a great match for your truck, no matter what you do while at work or play. It's strong enough to hold up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight when it's folded down, so it can support your weight if you sit or stand on it.
Each 5/8" thick, fiberglass-reinforced polymer panel has a sturdy aluminum base with an insulated core that is made of top-quality, closed-cell foam to create a strong, heavy-duty cover. The polymer construction also ensures that the F1 stays cooler than an all-aluminum tonneau. The black powder coat finish with hair cell texture on top of the panels offers superior resistance to dents, dings, and harsh UV rays.
The frame rails are constructed of aircraft-grade, rustproof aluminum and have a sleek black, corrosion-resistant powder coat finish. And scuff-resistant, semigloss black rubber seals run all the way around the cover to help to keep water out of your bed. If any water does seep through, it will run along the gutter system that is built into the frame rails and will then exit through drain hoses that install behind your cab.
Glass-filled nylon latches in heavy-duty, injection-molded housings add to the F1's rugged design and ensure long-lasting, efficient operation. Flush hinges prevent ice and water from building up on the cover.
Easy, No-Drill Installation
Installing the F1 is simple. All you need is a wrench, and you don't have to do any drilling. The tonneau's frame rails clamp to the inside of your truck bed side rails to create a base for the cover. The included bolts secure the front hinge rail to the frame rails at the cab. Slotted brackets on the hinge rail allow the bolts to shift in case you need to adjust the cover to achieve a snug fit.

Love this cover. Works to haul anything I could without a cover. The fact I can configure it to haul and secure just about anything that I can get in the box. I’ll never have a different cover on a pickup.
Quality addition to my truck-only bad part is the endcaps on each section. They have a habit of popping out of the channel which keeps it open in that section if you don't notice it right away, which allows water to get in as well as catch wind when on expressway. I use gaffers tape to try to mitigate but it does need to be redone on occasion. If this wasn't an issue I would have offered up 5 stars!
Just got it installed. The installation was easy and straight forward. Sits flush to the bed and looks great.
I found the Back Flip cover a well-engineered cover. The cover works very well and with a some adjustment it can be waterproof.
The only issues I have had are the back flip knobs fall off and I have to replace one. The other is the interior panels dent very easily from cargo hitting it. I was planning on putting thin diamond plate panels to help prevent anymore damage.
I bought this cover because I have an F1 on my other truck and it has been a good cover. The F1 gets hot but not so hot you can't touch it in the summer. It does a great job of keeping out the weather and thieves. I have just finished installing it on my 2019 Ram 3500 long bed. The factory rails were out of spec by 3/16" so I had to trim them to fit. That is why I only rated it at 4 stars otherwise a very nice bed cover. I have had my other F1 for 7 years and it is still holding up well so I expect similar performance from this one. Being a long bed does make the panels a little more difficult to fold but it is still pretty easy.
As my name suggests I carry boxes in the back of my truck on a regular basis, and they arrive dry every time.
Also, while pulling my Fifth-wheel it folds out of the way.
Bed Rug is a great product overall. Installation is straightforward and easy. I do recommend the use of denatured alcohol after scuffing the spray-in bedliner, to promote the best adhesion. You can purchase a quart at any big box home improvement store. Caution: This product is highly volatile, so be sure to use in an outdoor space and wear the minimum of chemical protective gloves and eye protection. Also, avoid inhaling the fumes! The only reason I gave this product 4 stars is that it doesn’t quite fit very well on the rear sides of the pickup box, where the Canyon has multiple “ribs” near the tailgate. Other than that, it looks great and is a real treat to sit on, particularly when I installed the Bak Flip F1 bedcover.
It is a horrible cover, it leaks, it is way to heavy, parts already starting to fail.
Easy to install, largely but not completely weatherproof. The cover has been installed for a year on a truck that sits outside with no fading or deterioration evident. It could do with a couple more rivets that hold the wire to the release mechanism near the tailgate as the plastic tubing occasionally pops out of the track that holds it in. It is easy to pop back into place though.
Great cover, easy to use. The only issue is that some water will leak into the bed especially near the corners.
2022 2500HD long bed. I’ve had several different bed covers on tricks in the past. The is the first time I coughed up the $$$ for a BAKFlip and it’s worth the money. My only complaint is that it is nowhere near water proof and when it rains the contents of your bed will get wet.
I like that your able to fold the cover to completely utilize the bed,
I don’t like that the plugs on both sides on each section where the cover hinges continuously keep coming out.
I would look at other covers before I would buy this one again.
Love it. Just wish there was a tie down for when you just have 2 folds open.
This product fits my needs perfectly. When towing my 5th wheel I leave 2 panels down and still have a partially protected bed.
Great quality. Easy Install.
It would be a great cover if it didn’t leak. I have to be very mindful of what I put in the bed so it doesn’t get damaged by water.
I really like this cover, it has four panels that fold back and you can secure. Whenever I am towing my 5th wheel it folds back to the first panel. That provides coverage for my tool box, generator and other items that I don't want to be exposed while traveling. It was easy to install, it locks and it dresses up the bed of my truck. I definately recommend this cover and esp to those that pull a trailer.
Excellent product. Purchased for my 2018 F350 Dually to cover my 5th wheel hitch and tool box when not pulling the trailer. Self install. No issues in 12 months of usage. Recommend this cover.
I have been very impressed with this cover. It protects things inside from the weather whether rain or sun or cold. It also allows my dirt bike to be transported with out removal.
I loaned my truck to a buddy to haul two dirt bikes and some how he broke the hold up bars bracket to the bed for full use position, but that is not the fault of the BAK72207.
Highly recommend this bed cover if you live in hot or cold areas or transport quads or dirt bikes.
My entire experience with etrailer.com was excellent. I spent numerous hours researching the hitch and tonneau cover set up I wanted for my 2014 Ford F250. The majority of my time was on the etrailer.com website reviewing Q&A, installation guidance and videos, and expert advise. I chose the Reese Elite Series 5th wheel hitch and the BakFlip F1 tonneau cover. Both products arrived within 10 business days. Installation was as easy and straightforward as expected. The BakFlip F1 really dresses up my F250 and the BakFlip technology makes it very easy to use and gives me full access to my truck bed as needed. The Reese hitch has performed flawlessly.
This is one of those components you get what you pay for and I couldn’t be happier. Fits perfect, looks every bit as great as shown in all the pictures. My brand of 5th wheel hitch fits below it.
*** 1 Issue - The installation instructions have room for improvement, having poor illustrations and reads difficult. The installation of this product is extremely easy but the instructions make it sound difficult.
If you want a cover that is secure and leaks this one is perfect. If it rains you are guaranteed to get your belongings soaking wet.
Easy to install, looks good, keeps items in the bed out of sight.
The Bak Flip F-1 has proven to be an excellent cover for my 2020 GMC 2500HD. It was easy to install with a friends help. It is a good looking cover and has been waterproof. It is very secure with the gate locked. Very pleased.
