Does anyone have photos of this? I know the roll up has the ford logo showing in the up position which is cool i guess. Now I'm wondering how the retractable tonneau shows the Ford logo.

If you are referring to the standard Hard Tri-fold Tonneau. Its just a regular aftermarket cover and the dealer just sticks a small ford blue oval badge on the back edge as an afterthought. I just peeled it off as it wasn't even stuck on straight.

Apparently there is a retrax style tonneau that ford has available. Part# VJL3Z-84501A42-A. I was just wondering how the branding looks since i can't find a good picture of it anywhere. As for the rollup it seems you can't see the blue oval until its in the rolled up position and the tri-fold has the oval in the bottom left had corner if i recall and maybe an oval of the bottom of the last panel so its visible when flipped up.

Yeah, I think if you go to the ford parts site there are probably a dozen or more options for Tonneau covers. I was referring to the ones you can pre order on the main ford website configurator when ordering a new truck. I think when you order from the dealer you can specify what you want. I didn't bother (which was probably a mistake on my part) and just went with the default hard top tri fold. Its ok, but has its shortcomings. I especially do not like the fact that I have to open the tailgate just to open or close it. I used to have a roll top on Nissan Pickup some years ago and that was nice.

@DrifterGTR, the Ford cover is made by Bak and is based on the Revolver series. We can probably help you save a bit on a Revolver X2 or Revolver X4.

Let me know if we can help get you setup!

Anyone been able to find anything on this one
https://accessories.ford.com/bed-products/covers/cover-tonneau-11907.html

I can't remember where, but I found one version last night that had the rare and legendary ability to work with a Thule cross bar. Which is what I want.

I like that, think it looks great, clean.
The integrated channels for load bar accessories is nicely done.
I just hate losing that much of the front of our already too short bed. If the front box assesmbly is easily removable I would consider this cover, otherwise I like my ford revolver style.
