Which tonneau cover for a 2015 6.5' bed

Hey Guys,

I have a 2015 F150 XLT with a 6.5 ft bed. What's everyone running for a tonneau cover? Id like something retractable or rolling. Weatherproof would be nice... not sure how many improvements have been made in recent years along this line... Is there anything out there that is SOLID quality and still won't break the bank?? I don't mind paying if it will last!

Thanks,
M125X

I have been following this thread. Zero responses at this point???

I have the short bed in my Screw, and have been leaning toward the folding Leer trilogy X2T. I would have been interested in seeing some user comments about others.

Sorry to be of no help.

I certainly wouldn't say it's the best but I just put a bestop ez fold cover on mine, it only took about 5 minutes to install and will take even less time to remove if needed. It hasn't rained since so not sure how watertight it is but I'm sure it will work good enough. I got it as an Amazon warehouse deal for $180 so I can't complain about the price.

Thanks for the heads up hoss66, I've been stuck on getting the trilogy x2t, but this is way less money and seems like it might do what I need. I only use it a couple of times a year, so the easy off is very attractive. It just about has to be water tight for my application. I carry two weeks of equipment to the outer banks of NC for vacations twice a year. Lots of rain some months.
I just watched the videos of the Bestop Ezfold hard top, very impressed.

I've had the Truxedo Lo Pro tonneau cover on my '09 for 9 years now and it still looks like new. It gets a treatment of 303 twice a year.

Easy to install. Very easy to roll up when needed. Stays tight - only the tiniest amount of flapping at highway speed.

They don't claim it to be water proof but have never had as much as 1 drip in the bed even when using a car wash.

When it comes time for a new truck I will order one of these the same day.

I have had a Truxedo for many years now, possibly close to 10. When I got my '15 it was the only brand I considered. It is a Lo Pro roll up cover. Keeps 99.5% of water out in heavy rain, sprinkles means nothing gets in. I have ran the truck through deep puddles at speed, and no water inside.

I have the Ford Trifold one. It is made by someone else, it’s called something HD (backflip HD?). Look it up.

It does everything great, highly suggest it.

I've got a Lund Trifecta Tonneau. I had it modified for my toolbox. It's 11 years old and it's still in great shape. I just clean it up and go over it with the leather conditioner twice a year.

I just bought the X4 from here; https://justboltons.com/revolver-x4-...5-6-bed-79329/

I had considered both the LoPro and the MX4 and somehow decided to splurge on the new Revolver.

I put on an American Tonneau soft tri-fold a when I bought my '15 and am very happy with it. It seals well and is very easy to remove. It is also very easy on the wallet.

Hi M125X,

The ACCESS Original Roll-Up Cover has been tested, trusted and guaranteed since 1991. Our focus on precise fit, top quality materials and lasting performance has lead to a very low warranty claim rate and high repeat customer rate.

No tonneau cover will make a truck bed 100% waterproof, but we do our best to make our covers as water resistant as possible. We also offer these sealing gaskets to help keep water and dust out of your truck bed.

Click here to see what our customers have to say about their ACCESS Brand Roll-Up Cover.

Please let me know if you have any questions

Hi M125X,

If you are in search of a retractable tonneau cover, have you explored the Roll-N-Lock, Retrax-One, or the Gator Recoil? They are pretty expensive but appear to be quite functional, and durable. I am also in search of one and have narrowed it down to these three. I live in a winter climate and have to worry about how they hold up in snow and ice conditions, which is steering me towards going with the Retraxone.

Own a Pace Edward Jackrabbit Tonneau. Rolls up into a canister, has drains that run from the bottom of the canister to rubber plugs in the truck bed. Living in the Northwest it drains well with very little moisture getting into the pickup bed. Has metal slats with a vinyl cover. Easy install and quick removal when you want to haul something big. Has nice built in features that allow you to open in 12 inch increments and also has a lock. It will also hold some extra weight on the top as in say snow. Can’t remember how much weight. Here is a you tube link.

I had a Truxedo. It was fine for the first few years. It eventually fell apart. Glue dried. Stitches burst. Adjustment screws corroded and rusted. The vinyl piece just came apart from the framework. Even the velcro pieces along the edge stopped sticking. I now have a Rugged Liner model. So far so good.
