Any ideas on the best bed cover out there that’s flush with the bed? I’m looking at the Bakflip or the Roll N lock.
 
I don’t have any personal experience on the Tremor. I had a Backflip on my Tundra. I really liked it. Not sure I would with the height of the bed side on the Tremor though. I’m sure others will chime in as well. My plan is to go with the Retrax Pro XR. I like the fact that it rolls up into the bed so it doesn’t block rear view. I also like the T track option for storage above the bed. The bad thing is that it takes up about 12” of space in the front the bed.

The Retrax Pro XR is pretty nice. I had a Sentry CT becuse I liked the flush look but the Retrax is way nicer yet it's not flush.
 
Lomax. love mine. Very low profile and actually waterproof.
 
the retrax pro MX is more flush whereas the retrax pro XR does stick up about a half inch where the T-rails are. ford has a contract with retrax so the factory ford tonneau covers are the retrax. my buddies 18 f150 came with the mx and my 21 350 platinum i just picked up came with the XR. i like them way better then the trifolds, i don't like the idea that you have to open the cover to close the tailgate or it won't seal.
 
I went with the Lomax. Very smooth low profile look. I also like that it is easy to remove to use my gooseneck, and does not lean up against my window or cab when open.

Nothing against the Roll N Lock but I have owned them for 20 years. Just got a Retrax Pro and it is far superior. Just my opinion. Allows you to close and lock the lid with full access to the tailgate. My Roll N Lock never did that. Unless they have changed their design I’d never go back.

I went with the Truxedo Sentry. I wanted roll up for easy bed access, did not want the canister or roll to be in the bed because it takes up space and simple removal. The Sentry has the aluminum slats for a little more security and can be removed without tools. The only downside is getting used to having to open the tailgate to seal it all up.
 
So I went with the Bak revolver X4, not sure how this one will work (got it in a Black Friday sale, just need the truck now......). But I had an X2 revolver on my current truck and liked the security, look, having just about the whole bed accessibl, not blocking the rear window when open. it also has done a pretty good job on keeping the bed dry in some pretty good storms.

Backflip MX4 is pretty darn good ... had problems over time with the retrax on my f150... talk to Neo Garage he has a pretty good handle on these ..

No love for Diamondback? Have had one on my F150 for 5 years and will put one on my Tremor for sure.
The Diamondbacks are nice, but it depends on the use/need to access the bed of the truck. I love the security of them and the ability to put things on top, but need to access the full bed to haul shit and the sentry is simple to roll up and remove if needed.
 
I just ordered a Gatortraxx cover a few minutes ago. They have a 10% off sale until Thursday and it looks and functions identically to the Retraxx version. I'm guessing they're manufactured at the same facility but branded differently like the Ford cover.

Poly, not aluminum like the pro from retrax
 
The Diamondback comes off in 5 minutes if you're slow and goes back on in 10 if you need to move the mother-in-law's crap. Security is my #1 priority and their new storage bins really increase the usability.
