Bed Cover that works Multipro Tailgate

BamX31 · May 17, 2020

I have the Under Cover Armor Flex and love it. Does not interfere with the tail got function at all. You can push button open and close with the top completely closed. I have only had a few drops of water enter the bed once and it was after driving in the pouring rain for two hours. It was right in the corners of the back of the bed where the top of the gate and bed cover meet

I just put a Retrax on mine this weekend. Takes two to install, but doesn’t take long. Doesn’t tamper with the tailgate at all. Even got to keep the old man assist handle in the bed. I have no comments about water intrusion yet.

What is it specifically that's supposed to be so problematic with the MP tailgate that doesn't exist with a standard one? I just don't see the difference.

Really want one of these, but having a hard time with the price. Is it easy to get a deal on one somewhere?

PS, kind of regretting getting the black truck instead of the white!

I just kept checking Retrax.com and they had a sale going. It also says to call for the best price. So maybe mention that you just missed the sale??

I have the Revolver X4. Since I have a CarbonPro bed, I thought finding a cover was going to be impossible with the GM ones being the only option. Anyway, got some custom clamps made and fit was perfect as it can get (i'm a little on the OCD side). Install was easy and use and functionallity is perfect for me. Product and overall cost was a little on the high side but I definetly do not regret it....I often try to remember that you usually get what you pay for because I am rather cheap and in the past I wound up buying things twice cuz I wanted to save...LOL. As far as water tightness, I haven't had any experience yet because I doesn't rain much in my part of the Island but I am hoping there wont be any issues. After installation, I checked from the inside and saw no gaps (no light showing through) so I am assuming its as tight as it can be.

I installed a Gatortrax MX on mine. Same exact cover as the Retrax just branded Gatortrax. They run a little cheaper than the Retrax and I got it on sale also so it was 200 plus less.

Thanks, I’ll take a look!

I had a Revolver X4 on the F150 I just traded in. LOVED it! Even got it for around $750 on some random Amazon deal. It’s high on the list for this truck, but I keep reading about figment issues on the MP Tailgate, though I’m can’t seem to understand what the figment issues actually are. Don’t have the CarbonPro.

Have always liked Retrax-type, so I’m considering those as well.
