Ford tonneau covers
2009 and 2010 has seen Ford Motor Company slip right into what can only be called a true leadership role when it comes to both the products it is putting out as well as the accessories it has chosen to offer Ford truck owners. I was struck by their innovation on my last trip to Detroit where I met with the heads of their accessory department and discussed intimately all the cool things that they currently offer with their current array of accessory vendors. It would seem that they have finally reached a point where they recognize that they either offer significant value to their consumers, or they will simply lose out to the aftermarket as they have always done in the past.
One product that Ford seems to have embraced that has done exceedingly well is their new folding tonneau cover. The new Ford OEM folding tonneau cover is an all aluminum folding tonneau cover made for them by BAK Industries. It is very similar to the BakFlip tonneau cover, but includes some bells and whistles exclusive to the OEM version. The new Ford folding tonneau cover folds up all the way and sits snugly and flush in between the rails for ultimate style. The locking mechanism is securely located under the panels of the tonneau cover, which is a true quad fold tonneau cover that is there when you need it and gone when you don't. The key you drive your F150 or F250 truck with is the same key you use to secure and lock your tonneau cover, which is a brilliant idea too!
Where aftermarket tonneau covers provide only partial access to your truck bed, the Ford hard folding tonneau cover gives you complete freedom to use your truck like truck and still lock up your valuables when you need to use your truck bed as a trunk. It's this sort of vision that will most certainly allow Ford to continue to dominate the pickup world as it currently doing.
As the owner of BAK Industries, I can tell you that I couldn't be prouder to be working with a company like Ford on their tonneau cover program. Their trucks are built so well nowadays and so much thought and creativity is integrated into them, that the BAK folding tonneau was a perfect fit. The new folding tonneau cover works perfectly with their tailgate step, tie downs, bed extender, bed rails, bedliners and other OEM Ford truck bed products.

The hard folding tonneau cover is perfect for those people that bought a Ford to be able to use the whole truck bed. That cover along with a tool box is the perfect combo for people who use their truck beds all the time.
