I'm looking to purchase a tonneau cover for my 2015 F150. Any suggestions on which brand or models fit best, I've read some reviews where the cover doesn't sit properly on the tailgate or leaks by the cab. Just looking to see what you guys have used and like. Thanks in advance.
I can be the first to say, vinyl sewn covers shrink and tear their stitching after years in the sun.
I would recommend the plastic panels instead.
The reason I like these, is because you can remove just one if you need to transport, say, a lawn mower whose handlebar doesn't fold flat enough to clear your cover. Also, they handle the weight of snow or ice better. And if one section gets damaged, just replace the one section.
Couple to check are: Bakflip F1 - Got vinyl covered aluminum with seamless hinges for waterproof. Diamondback HD - obviously the most sturdy out there.
I have the Bakflip F1 - got it for Christmas 3 years ago. It's actually reinforced fiberglass and aluminum construction - the vinyl covered one is the Bakflip VP. Overall it's held up well, but it's definitely not watertight. In fact I had a work boot fill up with water this past weekend because it was sitting upright under one of the places where it drips.
It keeps most of the water and snow off whatever is in my bed though.

Best deal is the Truck Gear by LINE-X folding cover because:
1. It's almost the same as a Bakflip Fibermax but has the better Undercover Flex hinges and the preferred Flex tie down straps. (Bak and Undercover have the same parent company).
2. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty which you cannot get with any Bakflip model or the Flex.
