It's more of a multi-hinged than folding.

It's a wire but it's recessed. Hard to explain the forces... but the force required in-line is way less than required at a steep angle from the plane of resistance (spring)
Uh huh. Well, if my massive hand strength does rip apart the steel cables because of the angle I won't say I wasn't warned.

I installed a BAK F1. Basically a MX4 but composite instead of aluminum. Slight weight savings.
I am happy with it but I believe if I were to do over I'd do the MX4 and save some money...

I forgot my reason for BAK. I like being able to use the whole bed of the truck when necessary and protection of the rear window from tall cargo shift is a BIG plus.

I initially considered a "Roll-N-Lock" style cover but loosing almost a foot of a 5 foot bed didn't make scenes.

I looked at a lot of covers before I chose a BAK cover but in the end it all boils down to personal preference.

Someone else stated that there is no perfect choice for a bed cover and I agree...

I had never considered having the cover flipped up would protect the rear window - I always thought it was bad because it totally blocked the rear window. I never liked that "feature" of some of the solid covers, but I can see why it could be a good thing. One reason I love this forum. I love hearing others experiences and perspectives.

I agree there is no such thing as a perfect cover - just like there is no such thing as a perfect truck. We all make compromises based on what is important to us.

I went with the Undercover Ultra Flex because it was a little less than the MX4, plus it came with a bed light and an additional $100 rebate. It sits up a little higher than the MX4 and removes without tools. Overall I’m happy with it!
