Three Reasons to Upgrade to a Bakflip F1 Tonneau Cover
Your tonneau cover has served you well and it is high-time that you search the market for a better replacement. While hard-top tonneau covers would be the top of most truck owner’s list, these tonneau covers fall short on one thing: flexibility. The Bakflip F1 tonneau cover offers that and a whole lot of other things, such as security, protection and appeal to your pickup truck. But, you may ask, aren’t these polymer folding tonneau covers expensive? To answer that question, it does cost more than other tonneau covers, but so do fiberglass hard top tonneau covers. But with all the features the Bakflip F1 offers, it may be worth every penny spent. Here are three reasons why it makes a better replacement to your tonneau cover.
First of, Bakflip F1 tonneau covers provide better protection against theft and harsh weather conditions as well as moisture. These folding tonneau covers are made with a Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FPS) and an EPS core, making them more resistant to impact, providing better protection against heavy snow storms, hail and sleet. They also come with a tamper proof latch system which provides zero access to the truck bed, unless you open the tailgate. Apart from that, they are made with EPDM rubber hinges and drain hoses which ensure that water and moisture will never invade your truck bed as well as your cargo.
Second, these folding tonneau covers provide full access to your truck bed. Compare that with hard-top fiberglass tonneau covers which only give you full access to your truck bed if you remove the tonneau cover entirely. But don’t other cheaper folding tonneau covers give you full access to your truck bed by folding the panels down to the front? Yes, but they cannot let you drive with your tonneau cover folded all the way up against your truck’s rear cab window. The Bakflip F1 tonneau cover comes with locking arms which allow you to hold the panels up against the rear cab window. This means more versatility on your part as you will be able to utilize your entire truck bed.
Lastly, the Bakflip F1 is also the lightest among all the Bakflip hard folding tonneau covers. This makes it easy for you to install the tonneau cover by yourself. Compared to hard-top tonneau covers which may need about 2-3 people to install due to its sheer weight, the Bakflip F1 tonneau covers can be installed without any need for an extra hand. In just 30 minutes, your tonneau cover is installed and ready to use. You only need minimal tools (at least one power tool) to reinforce the bolts on the tonneau cover to keep it sturdily and securely in place.
