A few factors you may want to consider in looking for a tonneau cover would be style, functionality, security and durability. All these are offered by the Bakflip F1 tonneau cover. This tonneau cover provides maximum security and protection for your truck bed and cargo, while at the same time allowing you to haul larger cargos. Compared to conventional hard tonneau covers, Bakflip tonneau covers allow you full access to your truck bed. This allows you to clean your truck bed easily, without having to uninstall the tonneau cover. Apart from that, Bakflip F1 tonneau covers also give your truck a sleek and professional look.
Bakflip F1 tonneau covers are quite similar to their Bakflip G2 counterparts, except that they are made of Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) on the outside surfaces. They are also baked with two coats of epoxy primer on the aluminum underside of the panels. This makes them more durable and more impact resistant compared to the G2 series. In addition, the tonneau cover’s come with a UV protected black finish, which makes it cool to touch even under harsh sun exposure. So you not only get the best protection for your truck bed and cargo, you also get extra space to put your bikes and ATV. And you don’t have to worry about breaking the tonneau cover as it could accommodate up to 500 pounds of equally distributed weight.
Another great feature of the Bakflip F1 folding tonneau cover is its resistance to harsh weather condtions. This tonneau cover is designed to prevent water or moisture from entering the truck bed and wreaking havoc on the cargo and the truck bed’s interior. The Bakflip F1 is in level with the truck bed to prevent accumulation of water on the tonneau cover. So basically, the water will only roll off the tonneau cover and to the ground. Apart from that, it also comes with an EPDM seal as well as two drain hoses to ensure that water never enters the truck bed.
If you live in an area with harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rains, hail, sleet and snow storms, the Bakflip F1 is a perfect investment. Its polymer surface as well as the tough epoxy primer underside coating ensures the safety of your cargo and truck bed against moisture and the damaging heat of the sun. This keeps your cargo safe and intact and your truck bed in tip-top condition. Apart from that, tamper-proof latch system secures your cargo against theft as you will need to open the tailgate before you could fold up the tonneau cover. Overall, this is worth every penny spent for an aftermarket truck accessory.
