FITMENT
- 2015-2026 Ford F150 5.5Ft Short Bed Styleside models without Ford Track System.
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- Driving an open-bed F-150 leaves your expensive tools and gear exposed to torrential downpours, harsh UV rays, and highway wind turbulence. Seguler’s heavy-duty Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) roll-up cover creates a tight, weatherproof barrier across your 5.5ft short bed, keeping contents completely dry while streamlining aerodynamic airflow for better fuel mileage.
- Transforming your bed for oversized cargo takes less than a minute. By releasing the internal quick-latches and securing the rolled tarp against the front cab with built-in buckles, you retain 100% full bed utility without removing the assembly. The heavy-gauge aluminum side rails clamp directly onto your bed lips in under 30 minutes with zero drilling required.
Key Features
- Covers the bed with heavy-duty double-sided vinyl whose UV inhibitors preserve color and flexibility through years of direct sun, without sagging, cracking, or going chalky.
- Opens the full bed in moments — pop the tailgate latches, roll toward the cab, and strap it down, with nothing to remove or store.
- Bolts onto the factory bed rails alone using basic hand tools in 20-30 minutes, leaving the truck unmodified.
- Runs quietly at speed thanks to tailgate tension adjustment and built-in cross-bows that cut down wind noise and fabric flutter.

Installation Overview
This cover installs in 20–40 minutes with basic hand tools — no drilling, no cutting, no permanent modifications. The aircraft-grade aluminum side rails clamp directly onto your factory bed rails. Position the rails, tighten the clamps, roll out the fabric, and adjust the tailgate tension for a weather-tight seal. One person can handle it; a second set of hands cuts the job in half.
FAQ
Q: Do I need different clamps for the aluminum bed on a 2015+ F-150?
A: Yes — these clamps are matched to the 2015+ F-150’s rail profile, which differs a touch from the steel-bodied 2004-2014 models. They hold firmly without scarring the aluminum rail, so just avoid overtightening.
Q: Will this cover help my fuel economy?
A: A tonneau can smooth airflow over the bed and cut drag, particularly on the highway. The real-world MPG gain is modest — usually 0.5-1 MPG on long runs — while the bigger wins are cargo protection and security.
Q: Is it okay to drive with the cover rolled up?
A: Yes. The integrated straps hold the rolled cover against the cab, and it’s designed to be driven fully open. Just make sure the straps are snug before you set off.
Q: What if my F-150 is the earlier generation or a 6.5ft bed?
A: Still on the earlier steel body? The earlier-gen 5.5ft cover is that one. 6.5ft beds are covered by our 2004-2014 and 2015-2026 options.
