I went with the BakFlip MX4 on my new truck.
One reason is it matches the bed rails on the Ford like it was a factory design and it might be why Ford sells it out of their parts departments.
I have a 5-1/2' bed so when it is folded all the way against the glass I can still see out but on the longer beds I don't think you can.
If you just fold it up enough to get to your 5th wheel hitch it would be flat and not sticking up.
When it is closed it is locked (with tailgate lock) and has been 100% waterproof.
I was leery about it being waterproof but after Hurricane Harvey dumped almost 30" of rain on us in a few days my doubts were laid to rest.
I was looking at a cheaper model since I didn't want to spend as much as they were being advertised for until someone sent me a PM about Real Truck accessories in Florida. Their price was about 30% cheaper than anywhere else I had looked.
I would suggest contacting Zach or Stephen at RealTruck.com and talk with them.
Their customer service is second to none as well. I mistakenly ordered the MX4 and Bed Rug for a 6-1/2' bed and they sent pick up notices for it and shipped me the right ones as soon as UPS picked up the others!
