Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Truck Bed Tonneau Cover - Heavy-Duty Truck Bed Protection - Durable Aluminum Panels - Hard Folding Tonneau Cover - 2021-2026 Ford F-150 (incl. Raptor/Lightning) - 5'7" Bed

It was relatively easy for one man to install. The instructions are pretty good - but like most things once you make all the mistakes and finally get it installed the next one would take about 1/3 the time. As it was it took about 45 minutes. It works well with my Ford tailgate and keeps almost all water (including car wash) out of the bed. You get a little bit- a few drops. No issue for me. It fits perfectly and has stood up to a few months of opening/closing. No complaints. It open and closed easily. If I get another truck this is exactly what I will get. I was told by several folks before I bought a cover to get a 3 piece. A two piece is heavy to open.

This cover should be considered when buying a Tonneau cover for your truck. I wanted a Tonneau cover for my new F-150, having previously purchased a BAKFlip from Bakindustries for my son's F-150. I was again going to purchase a BAKFlip. However, my new F-150 had an automatic tailgate, and I didn't want to mess around raising the cover before closing the tailgate. Following some research, I opted for the Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Truck Bed Tonneau Cover, and it's an advantage for me because I could open and close the tailgate without lifting the bed cover. A bonus was that it was more cost-effective than the BAKflip. It took about an hr to fit, taking my time to ensure a good, snug fit. Looks fantastic, and the quality is great. Installation was straightforward, as the included instructions were perfect. The only area where the BAKFlip has this particular model beaten is that you can fold back all 3 panels; with the Gator EFX, the third panel is fixed. I don't intend to use the bed for tall large items, so this wasn't a major problem. The panel is very lightweight, making both opening and closing super easy for my wife, and during those occasions that I may want to transport larger items - removing the cover in its totality will be easy. The only area that I can't give feedback on yet is waterproofing. However, the supplied fixing strip and drain tubes shows consideration from Gator regarding this. Having ensured that daylight can't be seen during installation - I'm highly confident that this won't be an issue. I'll update you as and when. Very happy with my purchase and recommend considering it during your research for a tonneau cover.

I’ve had the 8ft soft trifold!!! But then I bought a new 2025 F150 with the shorter bed and I bought the hard version! Gator is the best! Easy install, great quality and I was surprised how nice my trucked looked after the installation! I’d buy it again and recommend it!

Installed on my 2024 Ford F-150, the Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover has exceeded expectations. The installation was quick and straightforward—no drilling or complicated tools required. Once in place, it fits snugly and securely, offering excellent protection from rain and dust. It’s truly leak-proof, even during heavy downpours. One of the unexpected perks has been improved gas mileage, likely due to the aerodynamic design. Plus, it looks fantastic—sleek, low-profile, and perfectly matched to the truck’s lines. Pros: Easy, no-hassle installation Leak-proof and weather-resistant Noticeable improvement in gas mileage Stylish, low-profile design Con: To access the full bed, the entire cover must be removed Verdict: If you're looking for a durable, great-looking tonneau cover that boosts performance and protects your gear, the Gator EFX is a smart investment—just be aware of the full-bed access trade-off.

Crossed my fingers that this would fit an 08' f150 with the optional 6.5 bed. Perfect flush fit. Only flaw is drivers side rail was a bit shorter and did not have drain outlet. Installed on my own fairly easily getting the first clip on and balancing rail was a little tricky without mechanics coordination but doable.

So far so good. Love the flush fit. Easy install, and very minimal water intrusion during forceful car wash. The drain channels and drain pipes are the key here. Haven't driven in the rain yet, but I imagine it would handle that just fine. Works great for my purposes of storing tools in the bed.

2022 f150 6.5 bed. This product doesn't fit my truck. The latches that are towards the cab of the truck have no place to latch onto. And at the tailgate there is a 1"+ sized gap on each corner that will let water into the bed. If you adjust the cover towards the back, then it will leak at the cab side. Other than the fit, the product did seem to have good quality. Just a shame it doesn't fit properly.

Fantastic cover. I was looking for a product with a minimal flat design that did not stick up so that it could not be seen from the sides. I researched and mostly found products in the $1500 range. Until I came across this one for less than half the price, and it is by far the best value for your money. I bought it for my 4x4 2025 Ford F150 Lariat Hybrid with a 5.5ft bed. It fits perfectly, sits flush. And is protecting my truck very well. Looks fantastic. It is easy to open and close securely. Light weight yet very strong and durable.
