Should I Pick a BAK or EXTANG Tonneau Cover for a 2018 Ford F150?

F-150 Owner: I was calling in and looking into a tonneau cover.

Shawn: What kind of tonneau cover are you looking at?

F-150 Owner: Well I was looking at that BAKFlip, the four segment one. Forgot what it was called. The matte black one. 

Shawn: Okay, what kind of truck do you have?

F-150 Owner: I have a 2018 Ford F150. 5 foot 7 bed.

Shawn: Did you want to go ahead and place an order with me today on it?

F-150 Owner: Well, I was kind of looking. You guys have an elephant or one listed that you guys have just come out with?

Shawn: You know it didn't last very long.

F-150 Owner: Got you. Okay, yeah, because I was kind of poking around. The BAKFlips are, every review I looked at, the BAKFlip was up there, but I kept reading that they leak. And I was wondering if there's another one out there that would be comparable that doesn't leak or is that just inherent in that style.

Shawn: Well to prevent leaking you have to have the tonneau cover installed correctly and have all the seals laying like they should. You also will have the drain tubes. Just don't expect there to be no water whatsoever because it's not weather proof, it's weather resistant. If you wan't something that will stay drier, you're going to have to go with on top of the rails and I would suggest the extang that's Extang Solid Fold 2.0. It sits on top of the rails.

F-150 Owner: Okay. Well, that sounds good. Let me keep looking around at some other tonneau covers

Shawn: Alright man, check that out. Look at that solid fold. They are both really popular, they're owned by the same company. Kind of got to go with what you want in look and then what you want in functionality. That's just the honest opinion I have for you on those two.

F-150 Owner: You just said that. Okay, let me take a look at them and I'll give you a holler back.

How do I Claim a Rebate on a Retrax Pro XR for a 2018 Ford F-150?

F150 Owner: You emailed me the other day on the Retrax Pro XR. What do you need from me?

Peter: What truck is it for?

F150 Owner: It's for a 2018 Ford F-150, with the smaller bed, the five and a half foot.

Peter: Okay. Let me grab that part number here. You already have that quoted price. It's also free shipping and there's no sales tax because you're outside of Arizona.

F150 Owner: Free shipping, yep. And I had someone else quote me less, but they didn't have the free shipping. Is this the one where they also have a rebate where I can get the rails for free?

Peter: That's right.

F150 Owner: The rebate is worth it. That's what's making me do it.

Peter: Yeah, it's like a $550 value on that rebate. It's awesome. Okay, so the 2018 Ford F150 short bed.

F150 Owner: 2018 F-150 short bed. You got it.

Peter: Okay. We're good. Allow about 5-7 days for delivery on this. It could be faster.

F150 Owner: So, what do I use for my receipt for the rebate?

Peter: The confirmation that I just sent you. It's going to have the part number on there and everything. It's going to say how much you paid. That's what they need. And then, yeah. You just send it in with the rebate form.

F150 Owner: Thank you.

Peter: Have a great day!
