Question:
I have a Ford F-250 with a 6’9” bed, with a 5th wheel hitch. Can I use this cover when towing? Does the cover fold in 3 or 4 sections? Does it have to be propped up against the back window to hitch, or can it be folded up flat level when hitching?

Expert Reply:
The BAKflip tonneaus aren't ideal for people who plan to tow a fifth wheel hitch since they either would be folded up against the rear glass when towing and you'd have to worry about visibility and turning clearance you'd have the last section down which would limit clearance between the truck overhang and the truck bed rails. Your best solution is a retractable tonneau like the Pace Edwards Switchblade part # 311-SWFA18A44 which wouldn't interfere with anything since it retracts into a smaller canister at the front of the truck bed.
