Overview
The BAK Industries BAKFlip F1 hard folding tonneau cover, part number BKI772227, is a fiberglass reinforced folding cover custom designed for the bed of the 2019 Dodge RAM 1500 pickup. A tonneau cover, also called a bed cover, closes over the cargo area of a pickup bed to keep rain, snow, dirt, sun and theft away from what you carry. The BakFlip F1 is operated manually and folds away when you need the full bed.
Owners who want a cover that stays on the truck for as long as they own it will find the F1 built with a full aluminum sub-structure and automatic latching. Its panels operate in increments, which suits hauling trailers, 5th wheels and general cargo. The fitment covers the 2019 to 2022 Ram 1500.
Key features
- Fiberglass reinforced polymer top surface, designed to resist impact and scratches
- Full aluminum sub-structure for support
- Multiple automatic latching systems that lock the cover panels down as they close
- Seals and hinges made from synthetic EPDM
- Top surface runs cooler to the touch than aluminum
- Designed to withstand hail, ice build up and snow
- Operates in increments for trailers, 5th wheels and cargo
Latches, seals and temperature
The F1’s latching system locks the panels down as the cover closes, so the cover stays closed against the bed. Good latch action depends on clean hardware, so keep the latch points clear of ice, road grit and debris. When the latches stop closing evenly, they usually need cleaning or adjustment before any part needs replacing.
The EPDM seals and hinges help keep water and dust out of the bed. Inspect the seals each season for cracks, flattening or gaps, and replace any that no longer press firmly against the rails. Check the hinge pins and fasteners after rough trips, since loose hardware can change how the panels line up.
Hard covers are well suited to cold climates because the top resists ice build-up and stays cooler than aluminum to the touch. Cold weather still calls for careful use, so clear snow from the top before opening and avoid forcing panels that are stiff.
