BAKFLIP VP---just ordered

heard good things about them...Im liking the one that rolls up made by the same company
The VP wasn't available when I got mine, so I've got the aluminum version. Prior to my BakFlip, I had both soft with snaps, soft with strips, hard fiberglass, etc, etc. The BakFlip is BY FAR the best cover I've ever had...and I'll never try anything else again. It's light weight, and I can expose just enough bed area for what I'm hauling or flip the entire thing for full-bed use. And most important to me...it's flush with the bed rails and not on top of them. I had the bulky look that most covers have, and this one is so sleek don't even know it's there for a side-view of the truck. Anyhow...if you can't tell...I love mine.
Show some pics and give your opinion on your VP when you get it. Mine (with the aluminum), does get hot to the touch in the sun...your VP probably takes care of that little problem.

Was thinking of the BakFlip as well....can I ask what you are doing for the bed? LineX, Bedrug??? And why the VP as opposed to the F1?
I have the factory Ford bed liner as well. The F1 is pretty pricey, and as someone else said...I don't like the non-textured surface that makes each panel very obvious. It's just personal preference...I like the textured surface better (easier to keep looking clean when it comes to water spots and such).
I have the back flip cover and I really like it. It's the best cover I've had. Only issue is when it's flipped up to the cab It rubs on the rubber around the back window in the center and squeaks it will drive you nuts. Quick fix is I put a small piece of towel there,or anything will work. problem solved. the struts will hold it there. with the tubes that come to channel any water from the track down the drainage holes you won't see ant water in the bed either. My bed is sprayed with diamond guard too. It's tough!
Thank you. Yup. Just checked it out. Very nice. Thats what I am looking for. Did you install it yet?
Thanks....can't wait to see it. If all goes well I can order mine at the end of the month. Need a big fat commission check.
Update
There was an error in the deliver address that resulted in a one week delay in delivering the VP cover. Just checked the FedEx site and it says out for delivery. I cannot wait. Assuming it actually arrives this time, I plan on installing it tonight. I will be sure to take pictures and post my thoughts on the installation.

Call it traction or wheel spin.
F150 Ecoboost ChatJust joined and I just bought a 2017 EB 3.5 Lariat. I love this truck but, Wheel spin is out of control. I realize it's me but it seems excessive especially when wet or just damp.- 15

When to replace coils
F150 Ecoboost ChatI have a 2011 F150 Platinum with 116k miles. I replaced the spark plugs with oem plugs due to a little bit of shuddering that everyone talks about. I still feel a little here and there particularly when I start the truck in the morning. Should I replace the coils too? I don't think any of them...- 2
