Need to cover my fifth wheel hitch and truck bed with a cover and would like some advice . I don't need to lock it, just want to cover the bed and hitch. Need one that will clear the hitch. What kind of recommendations does anyone have? 2012 F250 with sprayed in bedliner. Thanks.

I have a bakflip g2 on mine and it covers mine. When I need to use the hitch I just fold it up towards the cab and tow away

I had a Truxedo on my last truck and I have one on this truck as well. It really works well for me.

Access brand is probably the best quality cover you can buy.

I have a 2011 F-250 and really like my backflip . I have the factory hitch prep from Ford.

I just got an extang solid fold....expensive, but well worth it in terms of quality. Its all aluminum, so there's nothing to fear like UV damage,etc.

I have a Tonno Pro, which is a tri fold. Previously had a Truxedo Truxport roll up, which was nice, but I like the tri fold because the front third of the bed (in front of the hitch) can be covered while towing. Both were relatively inexpensive, and both have held up well.

I have a Retrax. I think it is the best. I can lock it in any position fully closed to partway open while towing.

I must have read a hundred posts and online reviews of various tonneau covers before I decided on the Bakflip F1 for my Ram. I liked the Extang tri-fold OK, but it sat too high for my taste and didn't match the lines of the truck like the flush-fitting Bakflip.
I believe the Bakflip is offered as a Ford OEM accessory now.
