Give Your F-150 Bed Full Security Without Losing an Inch of Cargo Space
Soft covers flap at highway speed and fold-up hard covers eat into your available bed height. The Roll-N-Lock BT131A A-Series retracts into a compact aluminum canister that sits just above the bed floor, so you get complete access to the bed in seconds and full security when it is closed. The one piece aluminum cover body uses a patented hinge design with no exposed rubber seams, so there is nothing for a thief to pry.
Roll-N-Lock has built retractable truck bed covers in the USA for decades, and the BT131A carries the same 38 inch torsion spring drive and built in tailgate lock found across their A-Series and M-Series lineups.
