After a back order delay, I received my Gator EFX Hard Fold Tonneau Cover for the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. What should have been a fairly easy install, ended up being a bit frustrating. realtruck.com/...
Thanks for this video. I tried installing this same cover this afternoon before walking away frustrated. Tomorrow I will attempt again with this new knowledge.
Im also in market for a hard tonneau for my RR. Thx for your instsll video. However adter wstching you struggle with firment, i may look at other top brands. Cheers
I bought the Ranger Raptor in Carbonized Gray a couple of months ago myself. Just added the BakFlip MX4 and put the drain hose through the punch outs like you did. Fits like a glove and no issues with the install. I do get a little water in the rear tailgate sides when I go through the car wash, but certainly not enough to worry about. Good luck with you RR and you Gator.
Thanks, I agree, I can clearly see that the cover wont be waterproof, especially with the gaps in the tailgate. I just wanted something to keep the golf clubs and other stuff out of view. Have fund with your RR, I really like mine so far. Attending Raptor Assault School this weekend to see what this thing can do.
I have the same brand for my F150 Raptor but had little or no issues installing mines. It's a matter of deciphering the written instructions that are vague like sliding in the clamps on the rail but first removing the end cap; otherwise it's really nice and solid. We have a lot of rain and the scorching sun here in Floriday and to keep it from fading, spray and wipe it down with hybrid ceramic on a regular basis. I had it for about a year now and looks as if I installed yesterday.
Good advice, thanks. I watched several videos of Real Truck cover installs and none mentioned removing end caps. Thats one of the reasons I decided to make the video, I couldn’t find one for the new truck. Glad to hear you like yours. Thanks for watching
On a scale from one to ten, how much nicer is the long hwy drive experience between your Ranger and your Wrangler? My Wrangler makes me cringe when thinking about hwy driving...
I agree totally. I just finished (yesterday) a 1027 mile road trip in the Ranger and it was much quieter, smoother and more comfortable than the Wrangler. But the wrangler isn’t built for comfort it’s built to get the chicks 😉. I love the wrangler, have had several of them, but long road trips are not its strong suit for sure. But when I’m headed to Moab and Colorado like I just did, I sure love having the wrangler when I get there!! But this Ranger did great on the trails we did during its maiden voyage. Video hopefully coming soon. Thanks for watching!
