Let us know how it fits! This is the same cover I plan to order.

Have the same cover sitting in the garage, but the truck has not arrived yet. It's still sitting in Spokane for a few mare days waiting on carrier.

Has anyone had one? from the best I can figure for most vinyl covers is UV damage. the vinyl shrinks and starts coming un-glued. What is the best way to protect that from happening?

 

[Jamesgang]

Well, took about an 1 1/2 to install. That’s taking my time and having a beer or two through the process. one thing to remember. Definitely don’t forget to put the straps through the back bolt next to cab. The instructions doesn’t make that to clear until further back and then after putting it all on and tightening the bolts down had to remove them to install straps.

After market spray in liner? Looks good.

I've had three on three different trucks. They are fantastic covers and are the most versatile in being able to use your bed by rolling it up,easily then covering things up securely, or then even covering things above your bed without locking it down, like trees laying sideways.

They hold up well, work great, and really make your truck bed more useful.

Only negative is if exposed to below freezing temps and moisture then they can freeze up. No longer roll up easily.

I have one on my current ranger and have one sitting wtg on my new Ranger Raptor.

Didn't think the Ford version had the upgraded material.

Yes, Extreme liner I believe is what it is called. My dealer took it and had it done in frostburg Maryland. Cost was $450. I did it that way instead of ordering because I was thinking it would extend my truck build out longer. When I ordered I stayed away from little things like that for that reason. I read somewhere that a small extra. Even something like that could extend it for months because of how they do things.

In same boat. Was afraid it'd hold up truck. And line-x and others are often a better product with custom options. Ford spray-in liner is very thin and not customizable at all. I got talked into it on my last truck, won't do that again.

Looks to me like a roll bar might still fit

I think you’re correct. All the bed pockets are exposed. And that rubber down the side could be pitched under the roll bar.

 

[Wags]

So does it BOLT on to the bed or does it use clamps?

Get a good quality cover and you won't have that problem. Truxedo lowPro is a good one!
