Trying decide on those two tonneau covers. Anybody have the UnderCover flex? Any info on how you like them or dislike them would really help, or a suggestion on a different one.

I had an Undercover on my Tacoma but I was not happy with the fit/finish and switched to a Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite with the personal caddy when I got my Raptor. I am very happy with this cover and it has been a great addition.

I have the BakFlip VP on mine and have been disappointed in the overall quality. It's been on for two months with minimal use and has broken several times. They have been easy fixes (cable pulls separating and not allowing the panel to release) but still disappointed. Buddy bought the Undercover Flex around the same time and has been fine. If I were to purchase again, I would go Undercover.

I have the Undercover Flex and it's a very well made nice product. Just have to make sure when you install it to make sure it's adjusted properly. I really like mine.

Aside from being more inexpensive, the Flex is quite similar to Bak with some minor upgrades.

I have the Bakflip F1 and am extremely pleased with it. I leave it on the truck when going off road and have had no issues. It is also easy to remove if you want to use a chase rack.

I have had both. Bak flip on a previous F150 as well as an F250 and an undercover flex on different F250. I had a really bad experience with the undercover flex. It did not fit near as well as the Bakflip and then one day in the Georgia heat the cross bar that locks the rear panel down separated. I was able to put it back together with some better quality screws and some 3M 5200. At that point I had only had the cover for 6 months. I emailed undercover flex 3 or 4 times about the problem and got nothing in response. Then deployed and by the time I got back the shop I bought it from went out of business and it was just not worth dealing with anymore. I did like some of the undercover flex features but the quality was not there.

Had the Undercover Flex on my 2014 Limited for 5 months bbefore trading it in for a Raptor. Love the flush look of the flex and ability to use my entire bed without panels rubbing on the paint of the cab when fully folded.
However, I went to remove my bed rug and Flex to swap onto the Raptor, I noticed my bed rug was pretty wet, yet it hahadn't rained in awhile. Anyways, installed everything on the Raptor, dropped the tailgate, took a hose and started spraying the top of the Flex. Tons of water started leaking thru the middle fold. I knew that was aproblem, but was told prior to purchase that they fixed the issue. Now there site has a disclaimer that leaks aren't covered. Pretty disappointed. But otherwise, I'm happy with it.
