BAK 72207RB BakFlip F1 Tonneau Cover for 09-10 RAM with RAM Box

 (4 customer reviews)

This Tonneau Cover was very easy to install even though the instructions that came with it are not the most detailed. The video on the BakFlip website was helpful. It took me about 3 hours but I'm sure I could do another one in a lot less time. I put the truck through the car wash for the first time and the only leaks were in the rear corners but very minor. My biggest objection to a tonneau was having to remove it to haul larger items in the bed of the truck; but with the Bak Flip it is no problem. I love it. I found that in order to keep dust out, a little weather strip is needed across the bottom and sides of the tail gate but that has nothing to do with the tonneau cover.

I have a 2009 Dodge RAM with Rambox and have been looking at covers for almost a year. I friend of mine just bought the 2011 Longhorn model and we decided to buy two of these and install them together. It took longer than we thought to install but we are both very happy with our purchase. The instructions were OK but we found some install videos on Youtube to be more helpful.

The F1 BakFlip was one of only a very few tonneau covers made especially for the Ram 1500 with the Ram box so I didn't really have a large choice of covers. Although the ads say the cover can be installed in a 1/2 hour, I'm sure that is after you have already had the experience of installing a few. For a first timer, like me, it took 3 hours. I suppose if I did another I could cut the time to 1 hour. The cover works great. No problems with leaking except at the tail gate. To solve this I added weatherstripping around the tailgate and this seems to be working. The F1 is very sturdy and looks like it would withstand even moderately-sized hail. So far I am impressed with the cover but will have to see how it withstands the winter.
