What Other Tonneau Cover Brand is Similar to the Gator Tri-Fold?

F-150 Owner: Hey Peter, I have some questions about a tonneau cover for a Ford F-150 2018 XLT.

Peter: Okay, which tonneau cover were you looking at?

F-150 Owner: I don't know, I want pricing. I don't know if you can send it via email.

Peter: Okay, do you know which one you're interested in?

F-150 Owner: I like the Gator tonneau covers, but I don't know if you have similar and cheaper than that.

Peter: So that's one of the brands we do not sell, unfortunately. I can send you pricing on something similar though. Are you looking for a soft roll-up cover?

F-150 Owner: The tri-fold.

Peter: Okay, the only soft tri-fold I have is gonna be the Extang Trifecta 2.0. It has a lifetime warranty and I just emailed you the price. It's free shipping, and there's no sales tax.

F-150 Owner: Okay, so can I use that link in my email to check out if I want? 

Peter: Yes.

F-150 Owner: Okay, if you have something else, you can send me the other ones to check it out to buy.

Peter: Will do.

How is the Undercover Flex Compared to the G2?

Ford F150 Owner: I hear this is the place to buy a tonneau cover for my pickup

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yes. What are you looking for?

Ford F150 Owner: I have a Ford F150 2014 Eco Boost. I need some advice too. I'm a painting contractor, and I've been looking at the hard covers, and I want a fold up cover I think.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Okay. No problem. 

Ford F150 Owner: What would you recommend? I think a roll up cover would be convenient, but I don't know if it would last as long, would it?

Tonneau Covered Agent: The hard folding covers you can get several years out of. The BAKFlips are the most popular. They're trifolds but they can fold completely up out of the bed and secure behind the cab so that you have full bed access. Those are the best reviewed, and they also sit flush inside the bed rail and have that really low profile look to them. It starts with the BAKFlip G2; it's made of aluminum and it's been around for a long time. It's free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona. 

Ford F150 Owner: What about the Gator EVO? That's a five-fold. Is that cheaper?

Tonneau Covered Agent: I'm not sure. We don't sell Gator so I can't really speak to that. That's one of the only brands we don't sell.

Ford F150 Owner: How is the Undercover Flex compared to the G2?

Tonneau Covered Agent: That's almost an identical cover, except it's made of a different material. It's made of a fiberglass reinforced polymer, so it's actually going to be a little bit stronger than that aluminum of the G2. It'll stand up to denting and stuff like that much better.

Ford F150 Owner: Now when I was looking on the website it said one of them, I can't remember which one, had a free gift of the swing case, is that still going?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah, that was a rebate that ended, and it was with a different cover. And then they had one with the flex, but that ended.

Ford F150 Owner: Now, the G2 and the Undercover that we're talking about, do I need to put ladder racks on it or not? I was looking at ladder racks and I don't want to put a bolt on one and I don't want to be removing it, so they would work with one that would fit on the edge of the rail, right?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah. So BAK actually makes two. The BAKFlip CS or the BAKFlip CSF1. The CS is the G2 cover with the ladder rack assembly as well. Then the CSF1 is the F1 cover with the ladder racks, so that's a good option too.

Ford F150 Owner: Now, do you guys sell the ladder racks as well?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah, it's a whole unit. So it all comes together.

Ford F150 Owner: Now, if I was to get just the cover I could get a different rack system, right?

Tonneau Covered Agent: You could, yes. And because the BAKFlip cover and the undercover sits inside the bed rails, your stake pockets are still exposed so you can install the ladder rack in the stake pockets.

Ford F150 Owner: Right, stake pockets, yeah. Now, what kind of weight can they carry? I'd only be carrying the ladder, no lumber. What poundage do they rate for?

Tonneau Covered Agent: It just depends on which rack. 500 pounds on the back ones, but there are many different types of racks out there.

Ford F150 Owner: Right. So I guess I'm looking between the Undercover and the G2. Is there any one that you could give me a better deal on either of them? Because they're both basically the same, right?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah. Those are both at my lowest prices. In fact, those are sale prices. I can't go lower than that, unfortunately, but I do believe I do have the best price anywhere for both of those covers.

Ford F150 Owner: Yeah. I had been looking, those are pretty good prices. Alright, I'm going to go with the BAKFlip G2.

Tonneau Covered Agent: The G2? Good choice. Please allow about five to seven days for delivery on this. You're going to get an email confirmation here in just a second. 

Ford F150 Owner: Now, they'll leave it obviously, right? At the front door?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yes. It's going to be FedEx.

Ford F150 Owner: All right, awesome. Thank you so much.

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!

Ford F250 Owner: I want to say it's 18 to 20 wide.

Peter: Okay. So it's a standard toolbox?

Ford F250 Owner: I do. Yeah. Looks like the toolbox is 20 inches wide.

Peter: Okay.

Ford F250 Owner: Just another quick question, it did say on that email that you also get a free gift, the tailgate seal kit. Is that included, or no?

Peter: It is, but it will come from our office here in Arizona. So it'll arrive separately.

Ford F250 Owner: All right, great. Thank you very much.
