- Thank you so much for watching. Both bed covers in the video were bought from Ford but I found almost identical ones on Amazon. ALL LINKS BELOW ARE AFFILIATE LINKS AND HELP OUT ME AND THE CHANNEL.

Short and right to the point. Covered all the important points. Thanks. People could take a lesson from you on how to do these short and sweet videos. One additional point about the Retrax is the T-slot channel for additional storage accessories on top.
Thank you!
I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch my video and comment. I really glad I was able to give you value and help you in some way. These type of comments are my favorite. Thanks again!
You're welcome, buddy. Just finished installing the BakFlip on my Lightning. Took about 1/2 hour. Fits perfect. @@ColeCulture
I already have the Bak Revolver X4 in my garage waiting. I think it’s the best of both worlds. Strong hard cover (500lbs payload) but roles all the way up so you don’t lose any bed space
Yeah that’s awesome. That covers a good fit if you use your bed often. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Does it lock down? can it go highway speeds (80-100mph) while rolled up? does it vibrate or make noise while up or down?
@@---tx9xx It does lock down and is perfectly fine at highway speeds. It may make noise but between nobby tires and loud music I don’t notice anything really. Plus the f150 cab is one of the quietest on the market.
Retrax. I want to be able to lock the cover with open just a few inches to allow a power cord out over the tailgate.
solid point
Yeah that is a pretty good point and one that I didn’t speak on. Thanks for catching it! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I think the tri-fold makes more sense on short-bed crew-cab mid-size pickups. It takes up a lot less space when folded back versus retracted and makes more used of the limited bed length.
Yeah, I had two trifolds on both of my rangers. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for showing me that camera trick. It was driving me nuts that I couldn't see the back camera while driving.
Yeah it’s super convenient. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@ColeCulture OK, I tried the camera thing on my 21 f150 and it didn't work. When I press the + it only slightly zooms in. When I press the button on the screen as you did for the camera in the bed it only just slightly moves the camera down. But it doesn't put it on the home screen like yours.
The Cole family I have the retrax pro also it's amazing. and you forget to mention that there is other options for the retracts pro that goes inside the track to carry ladders cargo carrier etc above the tonneau cover for extra cost Factor depend upon what you need. I paid $1300. And it's delivered in two separate boxes. And my F-150 letters are in Chrome just arrived
Your right I 100% forgot to mention that. Thank you for catching it. How are your letters looking in the truck? I think they will look classy for sure. Like a more mature and has money look if you get what I’m saying. Thank you for always watching and commenting!
@@ColeCulture the raised letters look amazing many people in neighborhood has commented they just pop I wish I could send you a photo somehow so you could see what they look like. And I did install the light brake bar underneath the tailgate I found a way over the hinge .and that looks great also.
I went with ford’s trifold, but I didn’t realize there were so many options. It doesn’t sit flush, but hopefully it is also equally secure.
I’m sure it is. People not being able to see in Deters most potential thieves anyway. Thank you for watching and commenting!
That extra money is definitely something but I think in the long run it is worth it to get the retractable cover. the individual locking mechanism allows you to access the truck bed without opening the tail gate every time. for someone who use this a truck more as a family vehicle and use in the city, I prefer having direct access to the truck bed by opening the cover than having to open the heavy tail gate every time
I agree with you and see your point. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
For the price a trifold all day. Mine came in yesterday. $670 delivered. I do hate the drain tubes. If they made a near flush trifold with out the drain tubes I would prefer those. Had those in the past. So easy to remove the entire top with no tubes necessary.
Retractable are nicer but hard to fork out 1,400 delivered
I’ve been watching vids. There’s also drain holes way closer to the hose tubes to use. On the sides. Not the end. Don’t know why anyone wouldn’t use those since they are maybe 6 inches from the start of the hose. But I may be wrong. Don’t have my platinum yet.
Yeah the price difference may say it all for some people. A more flush finish is definitely nice. And I’m not sure why the bottom grommet is favored for drain tubes, there has be a reason though. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Just got a build date of 6/6/22 for my Powerboost. I'm liking the Retrax.
Dang your getting it on D-Day, that’s pretty cool. Thank you for watching and commenting! I also like the retrax more.
happy 4 U
I am cheapskate! I ordered a TonnoPro soft trifold tonight for $245 total with taxes and shipping included. My PB is built and should be shipping any day!!
Ahaha to all there own. As long as your happy I’m happy lol. Let me know when your powerboost gets in. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Good information. I ended up getting the tri-fold because the drum of the retractable cover took up too much space within the bed where the folding one keeps the entire bottom of the bed open outside of the top 8" like you mentioned. I didn't know about the 60 MPH rating on the tri-fold when it is up...good to know :)
Yeah if your gonna use the bed often and for big objects then the trifold is for sure the way to go. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Retractable definitely. Should last longer also if well maintained oiled and stuff.
Yeah I like the retractable just a little bit more as well. But I almost never use my truck bed for anything huge. If I did I’d probably like the trifold. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I would go with the folding unless you have the longer bed. The short bed is too small to carry much as it is without the cover and the retractable limits your ability to carry loads. The retractable bed cover is ok for people that drive a truck and never fully use it as it is intended.
Yeah that’s true for sure. If your really gonna be using the bed the the trifold is the move. It’s also so easy to take off that even if the window block was a problem you could just take it off in 5 mins. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I like your video sir..very useful for people to decide on what to put on their vehicles👍
Thank you sir!
Niether...I rock an ARE truck cap. Love it. Last pet peeve....I don't like they did away with the small dial knob to reduce the flow thru the hvac vents. I've noticed when I have my air conditioning on, the middle air vent blows much stronger, probably 70%, as compared to the drivers side vents about 30%. So what happens now is my right side of my face freezes, while the left side hardly gets any cold air. With the small knobs, you use to be able to adjust the flow along with direction to even things up a bit. Thoughts? I look forward to your pet peeve video in the future. Take care and keep up the good work! Peace....
Lol I can respect a truck cap. And he’s I have noticed that. Maybe not 70% to 30% but at least 60/50. Im not sure why it’s like that except maybe it’s like that because the rear vents are connected to those middle vents. I don’t know if that’s truck but if it is that’s the only thing I can think of. Thanks again for reaching out!
I don't like having to take the tailgate down to get into the tri-fold cover. Sometime I just want to put something in or grab something on top that I purposely put to the side so I can reach it.
Yeah I could see that.
The retrax is probably a better option for you
We got the tri-fold on our 2022 PB 5.5' bed. We also have a bedslider so I'm thinking the retractable box might block the bedslider from fully sliding into the bed. Both look great though!
Yeah it may block it. I agree with you, both are for sure good options. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video
Thank you
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
Is there any word on when you are getting your F-150???
Why is Ford taking so long to complete orders? Is there a certain option people are selecting that is delaying their orders? I really want one but don’t want to wait months to get one. I’m want a space White ecoboost. Maybe you’ll need to fly out to Missouri to make a video on it haha
Lol I have a video coming out on this very soon and hopefully I can answer some of your questions. If not comment on that video and let me know. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Bed covers are a must in SSR of California or you will paying extra money. Don’t know if there are other states that do the same. From Florida with love
I think I get what your saying lol. Jealous of where your living right about now. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Any update on your truck? Sorry if I missed it on another video. I ordered mine over 2 months ago and nothing since. I know you have been waiting way longer.
ford getting all those tax / emissions credits first by prioritizing ecoboost. my buddy has been waiting on his 5.0 a shade over a decade, lol.
Well just my luck I ordered a 5.0. Lol.
@@co457 my brother ordered his two months before me. Iv had mine two months and yet he still doesn’t have his. So I definitely can see this happening. I have the PB he has the 5.0
@@DownwiththeGOP I ordered a PB on Dec 21st 2021. It was in my driveway on March 26th. Buddy I have I think he is near 7 months waiting on his 5.0, doesn't have a build week still. I don't know what parts a 5.0 would be waiting on versus a PB, 3.5, 2.7. Follow the money (savings / emissions tax credits)...
Great video! Thanks Cole! I’ve had a snugtop S/L on my f150 and a bed rug cover so it was great (like a big truck now I want that retractable cover but don’t know if I should add the factory spray in bed liner or another type of bed cover out there besides the bed rug.any recommendations on the line X or spray in cost?
I really like line x. It’s close to $1,500 in SoCal to be put on which is pretty pricey. I’d recommend a spray in just because it’s the most durable and best for any resale. Thank so much for that compliment and for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the video, what about cleaning, maintenance and obstruction with the retractable vs tri-fold
Much easier to clean the tri-fold. You have to clean the box on the retractable every couple years depending on where you live and where you park it.
Thanks for sharing, been looking for a comparison between these 2- your review is realistic.
I want the retractable as it looks high-tech and posh design but saw elsewhere cleaning can be a pain and depends on the quality or brand.
The tri-fold is easier to clean and maintain but tend to get flimsy or warp due to weather but then also depends on brand.
And I get the point on thw tri-fold obstructing the rear view mirror.
good video, I'm actually looking to put one on my Raptor; which Tri-Fold did you buy?
This one is from Ford. And I forget what brand the rebrand as their own.
Hey sir
Do you have rust under your dad or brother truck. My 2021 has it. Was wondering if you had it. Make a video 🙏 pls
Both have very little surface rust. Nothing a wire brush won’t fix. We got lucky compared to some people’s I’ve seen. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Off topic question for ya.. Are your running boards mounted with two or three brackets? If it's two, are there still pre-installed bolts under the B pillar for a third bracket?
My buddy gave me his brand new 6" steps off of his F250 (he installed power steps) for my incoming F150, I just need to order the F150 brackets. These steps are designed for three brackets so they'll flex a lot if I only have two under them. My dealer said they "think" it has all three mounting points like in the past...🙄
Thanks for your help, love the vids!
The ones that come on the truck are 2 brackets but you have the ability for 3 brackets for the running boards that go almost all the way to the rear wheels. I hope that helps you out at least a little and sorry I can’t help more. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Which one are you gonna put on yours?
I may not put either. I may do the double spire tier kit. But I would do a retractable if I did do one. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Have a retractable on my Denali ultimate and it’s much nicer looking than the tri fold.
Agreed
Retractable is awesome. Just wouldn’t put it on a rainbow truck.
Lol
Which one vibrates and makes the most noise?
Neither make any noise that is noticeable in the cab. Thank you for watching and commenting!
which seals better vs water entry? are there any trifolds that are rated for really high highway sppeds?
when it’s up
Both do great with water, I’d give an edge to the retractable. And I’m not sure about that for the trifold, you’d have to just go off of whatever the website says. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Anyone think he sounds like Seth Rogan? :)
I totally don’t hear it. But I have heard that before. It’s always funny to hear. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Which system has less maintenance
Tri-fold but there’s still almost no maintenance
What was the weight difference?
I’m not sure but the retrax is heavier
What brand is the retractable cover?
Retrax, but it’s Ford rebadged.
What's the weight difference?
The tri fold is a good bit lighter. Maybe 10 to 20lbs but I don’t know off the top of my head. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Does this trifold stop the rain from going into the bed?
It does a pretty good job. I’d say it keeps 90% or more out but pressure can get through. Like a car wash.
