Convenient Folding Design
The BAKFlip F1 can be folded all the way up and secured on your truck while you are driving, even at highway speeds. It lets you haul large cargo without having to completely remove the cover. 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. Rubber bumpers on the cover prevent it from marking your cab or scratching the glass of your rear windshield. When the cover is in this position, your vehicle's third brake light will remain visible.
Prop rods attached to the cover's frame rails hold it in place. Simply slide the brackets on the cover down over the rods and tighten the knobs.
If you prefer to leave your rear window unblocked, you can secure the folded panels of the cover without propping them up against the cab. Just fold up the first panels onto the panel closest to the cab and leave that panel latched in place. Use the included buckles to secure the cover in place.
Simple, One-Person Operation
To fold the cover, open your tailgate and pull the release cord from either side of your truck. Each panel has a release cord you need to pull to fold up the cover.
To close the cover, simply fold the panels back down. Each panel will latch back into place under its own weight. The seal allows you to close the cover whether your tailgate is open or closed. 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.
Heavy-Duty Construction
The F1 is 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. It also prevents anyone from peeling the cover up at the sides or cutting through its center, giving it a huge advantage over vinyl tonneau covers.
Each 5/8" thick, fiberglass-reinforced polymer panel has a sturdy aluminum base with an insulated foam core. It withstands the weight of snow better than an all-aluminum cover and it stays cooler to the touch when your truck sits in the sun all day. It also has a textured black powder coat finish that resists dents and scratches.
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
All you need is a wrench to install the cover, and you don't have to do any drilling. The cover'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.

2019 Ram 3500
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.
by: Sgt.Taz04/11/2024
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!
by: Peter12/27/2023
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.
by: Lentheboxman07/03/2019
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.
by: Norval06/12/2018
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.
by: Dennis08/11/2021
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.
by: Michael02/13/2024
It is a horrible cover, it leaks, it is way to heavy, parts already starting to fail.
by: Stephen01/30/2024
Great cover, easy to use. The only issue is that some water will leak into the bed especially near the corners.
by: Tom05/20/2023
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.
by: Brian01/27/2019
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.
by: Richard 08/15/2023
Love it. Just wish there was a tie down for when you just have 2 folds open.
by: Daniel05/04/2016
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.
by: Joseph02/15/2022
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.
by: Steve02/08/2022
This product fits my needs perfectly. When towing my 5th wheel I leave 2 panels down and still have a partially protected bed.
by: Andy01/18/2024
Great quality. Easy Install.
by: Richard12/02/2023
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.
by: Rich07/23/2019
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.
by: Stan R10/15/2019
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.
by: Jeremy05/26/2014
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.
by: Sean02/22/2022
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.
by: Ned08/08/2015
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.
by: Ralph 04/29/2023
Easy to install, looks good, keeps items in the bed out of sight.
by: Ben05/12/2022
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.
by: Dan05/15/2019
No issues, easy to install, folds up nicely when I need the bed space, no water/rain leaking. It’s nice to conceal/protect cargo
by: Matt06/04/2016
Easy to install and great fit. My only complaint was there was extra screws included. I had to watch install video to see if I had missed a step. Come to find out there was just extra screws.

- Will DeeZee 14.9 Tool Box Fit With Bak f1 Tonneau On 2018 Ram 3500How tall are the bed rails of your truck from the bed floor to the top of the rail? The tool box # BAK72204 is pretty tall at 19-1/8 inches so it may not be short enough to fit under the top of the tarp. But if you can verify the height you have of your bed rails I can check with BAK to see if they think it would fit or if you'd need to go a different route.

Which is confirmed to fit your 2021 Ram 3500 but must be folded against the cab window and secured or, to the last section and secured with straps, this will interfere with 5th wheel connection. But the Pace Edwards Full-Metal JackRabbit Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover, # 311-FMD7936 works with your 8 foot bed 2021 Ram 3500 and the B&W Companion, # BWRVK3600. You can verify this by ensuring...
view full answer... - Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack for a 2018 Ram 2500 Long Bed and BAKFlip Tonneau CoverThe Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A69FR is what you want for your 2018 Ram 2500 with the 8' bed. This is compatible with your BAKFlip cover whether you have the F1 # BAK72204, G2 # BAK26204, or the MX4 # BAK48204. I also recommend checking out the Tie-Down Kit # A4000882, as well as the Load Stop Kit # A4000880 . The Pro Series part # A4000955 that you referenced is actually designed for Ford Super Duty pickups with a short bed so you don't want to go with that.
view full answer... - Tonneau Cover for 2014 Ram 1500 Long Bed with Drains to Keep Bed DryMost tonneau covers do not keep out all moisture from rain and the design of the Tonno Pro Tonno Fold Soft Tonneau Cover # TP42-204 would be no exception. Most water would be kept out but the cover does not seal perfectly. More expensive tonneaus will have drain systems that helps direct the water away from the bed of the truck like the BAKFlip F1 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK72204.

- BAKFlip F1 Tonneau Cover For A 2023 Ram 1500 ClassicRam beds do have a taper from the bulkhead down to the tailgate and there will typically be a change every decade that makes older model covers incompatible with the newer beds so it's normal that you cover isn't matching up. For your 2023 Ram you would need the # BAK72204 instead of the current model that you have.

The only thing to be aware of is that the sliding rack rails and the rubber gasket on the sides of your BAKFlip will rub slightly so if you aren't careful you can damage that seal. They absolutely can work together and many customers have chosen that combination. We normally recommend the BAK Revlover # BAK39214 because it has a slightly thinner cover with wider internal...

In order to tow with a tonneau cover partially open your only option would be a retractable cover. I recommend the Pace Edwards Full-Metal JackRabbit Retractable Hard Tonneau...

The Solid Fold 2.0 mounts to the top of your truck's bed rails which will minimize it's compatibility with almost all truck bed mounted accessories.
