Aftermarket or Ford hard folding tonneau cover availability?

[DHare]

They do! I found the same issue on the RealTruck site. If you go to Bak industries, the manufacturer, you find "coming soon".

On the Bak Industries site, I didn't finding "coming soon" on the hard folding covers. On the rolling covers, it states that they do not fit the 2019 Ranger, but no such distinction on the hard folders. I just chatted with BAK and they said the hard folders listed are for the USA model. So...at this point, I wouldn't buy one yet without further checking, although they did say if you bought thru them, they would guarantee fitment.

I am putting the Bakflip MX4 on my Ranger as I like the way they changed the lip weatherstrip so you can open and close the tailgate without having to raise the cover. I have a Gator hard folding tonneau cover on the F-150 and I have to close the tailgate first before closing the cover. Very happy with the cover otherwise. Will be putting a DualLiner bedliner in as well. I like the hard sides and the ability to remove the rubber floor mat if needed for cleaning and rinsing the bed out if necessary.

The shortcoming of most covers is the seal between the tailgate and the body of the truck - along the sides and bottom of tailgate. They just don't seal well (or at all) and allow dust and sometimes water to creep in. I've tried an aftermarket gasket that claims to seal the gaps, but it didn't work very well at all. Has anyone found anything that will seal this area well?

If you drill down using the 2019 Ford Ranger as your truck choice when you pick your box size the web page will indicate "coming soon".

I apologize, you are correct. Funny that their "chat" person, after checking with a tech assistant, said it fit the USA version; and on bakflip.com, which I presume is also owned by Bak, they don't show coming soon (actually says
FITS YOUR 2019 Ford Ranger 5'1" Bed)
Very confusing and uncertain. Having to pack it up and ship back would be a real hassle if they are wrong! Like I said before, I'd wait till the truck gets here and then triple check to be sure what you're getting. Thanks for keeping us straight.

Ordered a BakFlip MX4 for the '19 Ranger a month ago from the RealTruck website. Got a call in early December from Customer service indicating the Ranger hard Folding Tonneau I ordered is not available until February. I requested and they responded by refunding my payment.

Took a little investigation of Bakflip.com to verify that the site is not owned by Bak Industries. Just another retailer.

Is there any hard-folding tonneau cover that would allow a ladder rack to be installed over it?

Edit: this is exactly what I want. Even has the Yakima racks I want.

If you want it to fold, no, at least not yet from what I have seen. The only ones I have see are the sliding covers that mount inside the bedrail. I haven't seen a cover that folds and supports the riser on the bedrail. If one is made I look forward to seeing if it will fit my purpose to.

I think the retractable is nice as well, albeit heavier and more expensive.

The RetraxPro XR and other models will be released soon!

Retrax Customer Service

We are currently waiting for the authorization to release the cover from Ford. We are anticipating this cover to be released mid to late January. Thank you!

Tonneau/Bed Covers, Embark LS by Advantage1
Retractable with Channels to allow mounting of Yakima® or Thule® Bed Racks, For 5’ BedVKB3Z-99501A42-E

I did some research & called Embark. Their Ford rep told me Retrax is making the tonneau covers that you can order form the Ford dealer. I know they are expensive but I think that it is the best cover for me. When I ordered my Ranger they told me that all tonneau covers were late availability. Hopefully they will be available as a dealer accessory when my truck comes in in February.

Not sure about when the Ford version is available, but Retrax said more info will be available in January.

So I actually pre-ordered the retractable cover from levittownfordparts several weeks ago and I was notified yesterday it will be delivered this week. I was also under the impression these parts wouldn't be available until January at the earliest so I'm a bit surprised to hear it's already being delivered.
Unfortunately I won't be there to see it until March when I fly home to take delivery of my truck so I can't give any initial impressions.

I will try to order the Embark/Retrax from my dealer soon, hopefully this week.

When I went to the San Jose Ranger Drive event, I didn’t realize I inadvertently got some photos of the tonneau cover.
