    YMMV

    Recently purchased and installed a Bakflip 4. Selected it because, it's a hard cover, can support up to 400 pounds, I can close it without having to open the tailgate and it's easy to remove. Considered the rollup but, there are times I need the whole bed. The new truck has only had 2 washes and there are no leaks.

    I've had the Backflip on my last 2 trucks and absolutely love it. Its also saved my rear window a few time when it was completely folded up with a bunch of stuff in the box. No leaks on either. But if I'm not mistaken, you need to have the reg or long bed if you want it down while pulling the 5th.

    It goes to the front bed rail and has a rubber gasket. The canister may collect some water, but anything it collects drains out through rubber tbing that empties behind the cab.
    The Retrax is not absolutely water proof, and in a driving rain I'll have a small amount of water entry near the tailgate. I don't thinkl any of the bed covers are totally watertight.

    Thanks for your reply Rivercityjeff but I'm afraid a fold up cover will not give me enough clearance for making turns with a fifth wheel hitch.

    Thanks Bob but I think I'll have to stick with a soft roll up for now.

BTW, I had a similar Truxedo (Low-Pro) on a F150 Ecoboost I used to have when Hurricane Matthew came within about 25 miles of us. My truck sat outside. I got about three drops of water in the bed, but I think that blew in around the side of the tailgate.

    Thanks Bill & Jeri ! I had a soft fold up on my other Truck and never had a drop of water in the bed. I think this is the way I'll be going.

    We have the Truxedo Deuce and liked it so much that when we went from our short bed to a long bed we bought another one. Having that large section next to the cab that opens without rolling up the whole cover is nice. One thing to watch when buying a cover is how high it sits on top of the bed rails. The deuce is only 1/2 inch.

    bed cover for short bed truck

    I would say my Truxedo Pro X15 sits about 1/2” or so high. Here is a picture of it on our F350. BTW, this cover is made out of the same material as new convertibles use.
