The basic Diamondback SE for me....i have had bak flips on two other trucks and they just aren’t durable enough. The trifold I believe is the 270, and they have one in the outlet section for a Ranger. I have put 400 lbs on the top several times.

That's what I have with additional cleats added...I should've said "bi-fold"...

I have an Undercover (one of the flex line … don’t recall which one) that works great.
I also have an Undercover Flex as well, I really like it. Can fold it up to the glass, or just loosen a couple knobs and remove the cover all together if needed.

I bought mine used too. But, I looking to spend about $1,500 on one later with solar panels for panels when (if) that comes to market. I've already reached out to the company to express my interest.

Easier to make a list of ones that don’t allow the tailgate or open. As far as I know there’s none

I have the Extang Solid Fold 2.0. Works well for my needs and tailgate opens and closes with top down and secured. Need to remove to use the full bed with items past the sides of the bed but this fat old man can remove and install without too much issue. Not watertight when sitting in the drive but really doesn't leak much while moving. It's mostly water pooling on the top and seeping through the seams. Not a big deal for me. Didn't care about flush mount, rather have the space available for big loads in the bed. Wanted a hard cover for better security over a soft cover.

I use the Bak Revolver X4s; it's a hardcover that rolls instead of folding. Thanks to the redesign that Bak did on their later model covers, it does not need to be open to close the tailgate.

I have the same one. After owning a few BakFlip hard folding covers, I recommend considering the rolling covers.

Hi Zachary,

Me too....only mine is not a later model...it also can be closed and latched before the tailgate is closed...

best,
Phil

Found a deal on a BakFlip mx4 after all the glowing reviews it's got in this thread as well as many others on the site.

Bed got sprayed today, hopefully I'll have the cover sometime next week or the following.
