4WD required for hard tonneau cover

[HotPepperLariat]

I just joined after ordering a build your own 2WD Lariat from Sheehy Ford Richmond, Virginia (great experience). On Ford's build your own web site, a hardfolding tonneau cover requires 4WD. Is this just a Ford ploy to get one to get 4WD? I can't believe there is a bed difference between 2WD and 4WD. I did not order due to me possibly buying the BAKFlip MX4 instead later.

Thanks!

Bed the same size

I assumed it was. I wonder if the Parts Department will let me order a hardfolding tonneau cover for my 2WD Lariat? VW Parts always asks for your VIN to make sure what you are ordering will fit.

I just noticed the other day that the 2.7 requires 4WD. Which means if I want the bigger engine for towing, it’s going to cost me almost $3K more than what I was planning on (figuring the engine was about $2K). ?

I hate the bean counters…

I'm guessing it's an economy of scale thing due to the smaller market. For the majority of Canadian truck owners, that's A-okay. 4X2's are the exception.
