2 weeks ago I picked up my new 2014 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi w/4.10 rear end. It was in no small part this forum that helped me out with my decision. I haven't installed my 5er hitch as of yet, and I still need to get the spray in box liner installed.The next step for me is the purchase of a folding tonneau cover. My last truck had a Roll-n-lock that gave me nothing but problem with freezing in harsh Alberta winters. Are there any 2014 Ram 2500 owners with a 6'4" box who have a folding tonneau cover and are you able to hook up your 5er without having to make the last fold on the cover where it leans against the rear window of the truck.I'm looking specifically at the BakFlip products. I did not get the hitch package with my truck and have a sliding hitch (yet to be installed in the new truck).Thanks for the help!

I don't own a 5th wheel yet, but that's what I have in sights. With the undercover flex, it doesn't touch your cab at all when folded all the way forward, and removes with just 2 spin nuts. In looking at my tonneau, it looks really close as to whether or not I would need to make that last fold. If I had a 5th and set it all the way rearward, possibly not. The final segment of my tonneau is just in front of where the gooseneck ball would be on my truck.

Have to say they have done a great job coping Bakflip's design and cover it with three year warranty where Bakflip is two. So I might have to go with flex-cover.Don

Hi HeybateI am in Calgary and know about the winters you speak off!!!I have had 3 retractable covers and the best has been the Retrax. Zero issues in our climate. One thing about the folding overs to consider with a fifth wheel . When you stack the sections together up front in the box you are increasing your height and getting closer to the underside of your trailer . The guys that own them can give better advice.Retrax is excellent but a bit pricey.Good luck.Snow tomorrow here!!!!

Walker111, with the Bakflip and the Flex-Cover you can fold it all the way up to the cab and lock it upright. Unless you have a short box without a slider hitch this won't be an issue.Don

Now that it's mid day, I decided to upload some pics. Hopefully this helps you out some what. Tonneau lined up with gooseneck blank spaceTonneau 2/3rds openTonneau Clip to prevent from flipping up, I really liked this feature and is one of the things that swayed me to the Flex, that and being about 100 bux cheaper locally.Tonneau locked in the up position
