If you’re a Ford F-150 owner, a truck bed cover is one of the most useful accessories you can add. A good F-150 truck bed cover keeps your cargo out of sight, helps keep rain and road grime out of the bed, and gives the truck a cleaner look. With so many styles available, though, choosing the right one for your F-150 can be tricky.
To make it easier, here are our top picks for the Ford F-150, one from each major cover style. Each one is a cover we stock in F-150 fitments, so you can compare them side by side and find the one that suits the way you use your truck.

6 Best Ford F-150 Truck Bed Covers
There are different types of covers you can get for your truck, including folding, roll-up, retractable and one-piece styles. Here are our picks for the F-150, one from each style:
1. TruXedo Lo Pro Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover
The TruXedo Lo Pro is a low-profile soft roll-up cover with a black matte vinyl finish. When you need the whole bed, it rolls up toward the cab, giving you full bed access for tall or bulky loads.
It mounts inside the bed rails without drilling, and the manufacturer estimates about an hour to install. It’s secured by your tailgate: with the tailgate locked, the cover’s latches can’t be reached from outside.

2. Extang Trifecta Signature 2.0 Soft Folding Tonneau Cover
The Extang Trifecta Signature 2.0 is a soft tri-fold cover that folds back in three panels toward the cab, so you can open part of the bed or most of it. It sits on top of the bed rails, clamps on without drilling and comes pre-assembled.
EZ-Lock clamps at the tailgate end hold it firmly to the bed rails. The cover itself doesn’t have a key lock, so keep your tailgate locked to help secure your cargo.

If you prefer a hard cover, the BAKFlip MX4 is a popular choice. It’s a low-profile aluminum folding cover with a black matte textured finish. The panels fold back and flip up against the cab when you need the whole bed.
It’s secured by your tailgate, so when the tailgate is locked the latches can’t be reached from outside. Note that the F-150 version clamps on but also requires some drilling during installation.

It latches from inside the bed, so it stays shut when your tailgate is locked. It clamps on without drilling, and the manufacturer estimates about an hour to install.

It locks through your tailgate handle lock, clamps on without drilling, and includes LED lights, a carpet-lined underside and a cargo retriever tool. Because the lid lifts as one piece, it’s best for cargo that fits under the closed cover.
