Overview

Gator's EFX cover is a hard tri-fold aluminum panel cover built for the 2021-2026 Ford F-150, including Raptor and Lightning, with the 5'7 inch bed, installed with a no-drill, single cable pull process.

Gator lists the install as under 30 minutes without drilling, and the panels are meant to sit low and flush for a clean profile. It is sealed against rain, snow, dirt and dust, and adjustable GEARHOLD cargo keepers are built in to stop gear, groceries or tools from sliding around the bed.

Who it's for

F-150 owners, including Raptor and Lightning drivers, with the 5'7 inch bed who want a hard folding cover for security and weather sealing without drilling into the truck. It is not sized for other F-150 bed lengths or other truck models.
