Just purchased a 2016 GMC 3500HD Dually. I have never used a cover and was looking for pro's or con's with the hard panels versus soft roll ups. I find a lot of folks with short beds but am interested if it rules change with a 8' bed. Any advise will be appreciated.

Like my Fold A Cover just fine. Used them on two different trucks when towing my fiver. Never had a problem with clearence. Relatively water resistant. Yes, some water gets in,,but not much. Solid aluminum over a foam core and locking including the tail gate with one key. There are other brands that also work well with fifth wheel hitches.

I have a Pace Edwards Jackrabbit on my 06 Long Bed and love it. The older I was getting, the heavier and more uncomfortable the flip-back (4 section folding) became.The kids gave me the retractable for my birthday (73rd) two years ago and I should have done it long ago.

I have had a Bak Flip F1 on my dually for almost 3 years now. Put a lot of miles and a lot of use on it and it has held up well. It has 4 sections. When towing I fold back 3 of them and there is a strap on each side that cinches them together to prevent any movement. Plenty of clearance for the hitch and trailer. It makes a nice cover for my Trailer Saver BD3 hitch when not towing and a lockable storage area. It also folds up against the back of the cab if I need to have use of the full bed. I wouldn't be without it.

I have a Fold A Cover on my 2011 3500HD DRW. Works well and does not obscure the view when folded.
