What is The Retrax XR and is it a Good Option For My 2015 Ford F-150?

Ford F-150 Owner: I received your quote on the Retrax cover. Let's go with that.

Shawn: 2015 Ford F-150 with a short bed, correct?

Ford F-150 Owner: Yep.

Shawn: Okay. You know what? And you want the PRO MX, right?

Ford F-150 Owner: Yeah, the matte black one.

Shawn: Would you ever see yourself using a set of load bars?

Ford F-150 Owner: No.

Shawn: No? Not even if they're free?

Ford F-150 Owner: No, probably not. We tend to use the truck more as just an urban assault vehicle, not for actually hauling and carrying stuff.

Shawn: Okay. Okay. Well, I was just asking because they have a promotion right now if you buy the XR, which is $100 more, you get the rack for free. It's a $500 rack.

Ford F-150 Owner: What is the Retrax XR?

Shawn: It's the RetraxPRO MX essentially, but it has a different set of rails that include a T-slot, so you can put accessories in it.

Ford F-150 Owner: Yeah, no. I prefer the low-profile without that T-slot on it. So, while it's a great idea, and a nice set of rails, I can't see myself actually carrying anything on those rails.

Shawn: I understand. Let's see here. RetraxPRO MX and that is the standard without stake pocket holes, correct?

Ford F-150 Owner: Correct.

Shawn: All right, man. I'll get this shipped out as quickly as possible.

How Long Does Shipping Take on a Truxport Cover for a 2015 Ford F150 Crew Cab?

F-150 Owner: I was checking in this past week and I ran across an e-mail for you guys. And then, you were responding I just never got back to you. But I was interested in getting, I believe it's a Truxedo Truxport tonneau cover.

Peter: Okay. What truck is it for?

F-150 Owner: It's a 2015 Ford F150 crew cab with a 5-7 bed.

Peter: Okay. Yeah. So it's going to be free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering outside of Arizona.

F-150 Owner: Right. So what would be the soonest that that could arrive here? Do you have any idea, or?

Peter: It's usually about five days.

F-150 Owner: I would need it by a week from tomorrow. I could still potentially get it by this weekend you think?

Peter: Yes.

F-150 Owner: Are the latches pretty good on those?

Peter: Yeah, I believe they are.

F-150 Owner: I recently bought a cheaper unit through eBay and we were installing it a couple weekends ago, and it had little plastics things on it where it rotates in the cradle and latches down on the back. And this little pin broke off right away. So I need to get something a little better quality than this.

Peter: Yeah, I totally understand. So it's a 2015 F150 short bed?

F-150 Owner: Right. Crew cab, yep.

Peter: Okay. I'll get this set up for shipping and you will be all set!

Is the BAKFlip Revolver X4 easy to install on a 2015 Ford F150 Super Crew?

F-150 Owner: I thought that maybe you could answer a couple questions. I was looking at the BAKFlip. I was looking at two of them. First the MX4, but my preference is a Revolver X4, to be honest with you. I kind of like that setup. I kind of wanted your opinion on it. It seems like you know what you're talking about when it comes to covers.

Peter: Yeah, so they're both great. They both have a matte black finish. Some guys choose the Revolver over the BAKFlip because when it's all the way open, they can still see out their back window, a little bit. Where as the folding cover is going to block it completely. So that's really kind of the deciding factor for most guys when they're deciding between those two, but they're both great covers. They're super popular, very well reviewed. You can't go wrong with either.

F-150 Owner: Is the Revolver X4 easy to install?

Peter: It is.

F-150 Owner: I tried watching a video. It looked pretty simple; a couple rails and a couple attachments and that was it.

Peter: That's right.

F-150 Owner: I've been getting your emails forever, so I figured I would finally call to take advantage of your awesome prices. However, I was looking at Amazon and they've obviously got the lowest price, so I kind of wanted to see if you could match that.

Peter: They may have the lowest price, but you'll have to pay sales tax with Amazon. We offer free shipping and no sales tax if you order outside of Arizona.

F-150 Owner: Okay let's do the Revolver X4. It would be on a 2015 Ford F150.

Peter: Okay.

F-150 Owner: And it's a SuperCrew.

Peter: That's the short bed?

F-150 Owner: And a short bed, yeah. What's delivery time on that?

Peter: It's about 5-7 days.

F-150 Owner: That's kind of the big thing. I've been delayed because I actually got stuck out of town for a few days because the weather. I wanted to have it on my truck by Friday. I thought I saw something where you guys had two-day delivery. Was I wrong on that?

Peter: We do, it's expedited, but it costs a little bit more. It's still really reasonable though. I could get it to you by Wednesday, or Thursday at the very latest for $24.99.

F-150 Owner: Are you serious? Okay. All right. Well I'll tell you what. If you could do it do you promise it'd be here no later than Thursday?

Peter: Yes.

F-150 Owner: Okay, and that's the Revolver X4 for my truck: the F150.

Peter: That's right.

F-150 Owner: Okay. What do you think installation time is on that, if I did it myself? I'm not super mechanically inclined, but I could figure it out.

Peter: Once you get everything out of the box we're talking probably 30 minutes or so.

F-150 Owner: Oh, okay. Well, let's do this. Can I do this with you on the phone or do I need to do it by email?

Peter: No, I can take care of it.
