Someone had one for sale here. Check the classified section. Can't remember who it was now. I think he wanted like $150 for it.

 

The dealerships sell them here as an option on the trucks i think he told me it was $150.oo option.
I put a snug top on mine i think it looks better and i can lock stuff up in it but it was like $900.oo!!

 

Do all tonneau covers curl up on the corners like the OEM?

 

Nope.......I've had a Tek Style tonneau cover on my Ranger for 6 years and not even the smallest trace of a curl.

But then again it doesn't have the 'loose' ends like on the L cover.......it's a snap down.

Contact Gary at fordpartsonline.com. I bet he will get you one. Even at wholesale versus the retail price that the dealer would give you. I don't remember the number, but if you go to the website, I think you can get his number. If not, do a search here, or let me know and I think I could find the thread that has his number.

 

One of the major problems for those getting the factory cover is what if you break something. Does Ford sell replacement parts for the covers? I hear it from those that have bought factory covers at least once a month. Ford makes you buy a complete cover, they don't sell just the parts. I have only heard this second hand but it could be worth while to check into it before spending the big bucks on a Ford vinyl cover.
