If you're looking for a folding hard cover for the 2015 and newer F-150, but for the least amount of money possible, well then the Proven Ground EZ Fold option that we have here might just be the one for you. The Proven Ground will combine a very durable puncture resistant polymer material wrapped in a marine grade vinyl and will come in right around the $400 price point, making this the most affordable of its kind in the category and by a pretty hefty margin. Installation is gonna be extremely easy. So, figure a soft one out of three wrenches on the old difficulty meter and I'd say an hour at the absolute most, more than likely 30 minutes or less, as we'll demonstrate later in the video.So, the benefits of switching from a soft to hard bed cover are pretty obvious, right? Now, sure, a soft cover will ultimately protect your bed cargo from the elements but all it takes is one knife blade to easily be defeated as we pointed out in our bed cover episode of What's Up With That?. And well, if you haven't seen that yet, feel free to check it out our channel. Now, a hard cover on the other hand is gonna be far more difficult to defeat and will ultimately give you and your cargo the added security that a soft cover frankly cannot deliver.So, now that you know the benefit of going with a hard cover, let's talk about what's in store here with the Proven Ground EZ Fold option. And again, the biggest appeal with this bed cover will be the fact that it is by far and away the most affordable hard cover currently on the site at right around 400 bucks. Now, the hard panels of the cover itself will be covered in a marine grade black vinyl material, it's gonna be both fade and tear resistant. And it's pulled nice and taut against those panels for a nice clean, sag-free look. The cover is gonna ride on the 100% aluminum frame here which is gonna be very strong, also at the same time very lightweight, which is nice when it comes time to actually flip this thing up and out of the way.But on that same topic obviously, yes, this is a tri-folding bed cover. So, therefore anytime you need to haul something a little bit larger, you can always release the latches and fold the cover up and out of the way before securing it with the included nylon straps and buckles. Best part is, guys, a simple tri-fold cover like this is going to install very easily to the bed rails in a matter of minutes with no tools, drilling, or crazy modification. Simply clamp down the included clamps to the bed rail starting nearest the cab and work your way towards the tailgate, making sure the cover itself is aligned properly as you go. But to give you a better idea of how the install will go down, here's that detailed walkthrough we promised you earlier.All right, guys, your first step obviously is unboxing your tonneau cover and then depending on your situation, might be nice to have somebody help you lift it up into place on the bed. Now, obviously already have it sitting up here, I'm gonna hop in the bed right now, and we're gonna slide it on back.All right, now that we have the cover up and in place, couple things to keep in mind here, the female short end of the clip or connector needs to be closer to the cab. And also you wanna make sure that the cover itself is centered on the bed rails before you start securing everything down. So, looks like ours is in a good spot now. Now we're gonna hop under and start securing those clips.Now, you need to do some yoga and get underneath the cover itself here, and you wanna find these two clamps on either side. This is actually what's gonna secure the tonneau cover to your bed rails. And while you don't need any tools to tackle this job, you wanna make sure you do adjust these properly because that's what again is gonna keep your tonneau cover in place. So, we'll find our first clamp here and as you can see, it's a little long now, it is a threaded screw or bolt. So, now we're just gonna simply screw this on up a good bit until we have it up a bit higher and that should allow us to clamp it down firmly. It's still a little loose, I don't like that, so I'm gonna go even tighter.With that side secure now we can use our included cotter pin to insert it in the hole here and lock this down. This is basically just gonna prevent the clamp from coming undone while on the road and will act as a nice little safety feature. Now we can repeat that process on the other side. Make sure we get that little lip underneath the bed rail here. And now secure it with our cotter pin.With those two clamps secured, now we can fold this down because we're gonna do the same thing to the final two clamps, which you can see right here are gonna live closest to the tailgate area. Knowing what we learned from our rear clamps, we're gonna tighten this one up a little bit first before attempting it. Simply just screwing it up, give it a shot. And that's pretty good, I like that. So, now we're just gonna repeat the process on the other side. Tighten up this side and secure our clamp. With front and rear clamps secured, close your tailgate and your installation is complete.Guys we hope you enjoyed this review and install of the Proven Ground hard tri-fold cover available for your 2015 through 2020 F-150. Keep in mind guys you can find more products and videos like this right here at americantrucks.com.

Better Than I Expected
Commute times can be long, so I sought a solution to minimize wind resistance and securely protect items in the back of my truck during my hour-and-a-half journey to work, five days a week. After much searching, I stumbled upon this gem. Initially hesitant due to the multitude of options available at AT Trucks, I was pleasantly surprised to find it within my budget. Delivery was swift, and following the clear instructions, installation was a breeze. Initially, I encountered a minor hiccup with the locking clips sticking, likely due to my habit of hurriedly accessing items from the truck bed. However, a quick application of WD-40 resolved this issue. Despite enduring thunderstorms and car washes, the cover remained watertight, save for minor leakage from the sides of the tailgate. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase.

Best cover for the money
I love the convenience of the tri-fold cover, and this one is a step above most. With the hard plastic under the vinyl cover, It is more sturdy and resistant to break-ins or damage from falling limbs etc. Looks fantastic, very functional, easy to install and remove, and protects my cargo. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cover that isn't $1000, but at the same time one that will protect your cargo and look nice!

Not too bad
Really easy to set up and install. Everything is included. Took no more than 20 minutes by myself. Most of that time was just adjusting the clamps.

Nice Tonneau Cover
Very nice addition to my truck. Install was not that difficult. My only reason for the 4 star fit rating is the tailgate does hit the cover when you close it. I installed this myself and the hardest part was getting it on the truck and lining it up straight on the bed. Overall a great purchase.

The easiest solution.
The shipping was super-fast, ordered Thursday, arrived on Saturday. Took it out of the box, aligned it to the bed, flip the clips down, turned them a couple times, locked in and done, I doubt it was a full 15 minutes thanks to the video here. The video is also what sold me on this, no rails, no clamps, no hassle and NO VELCRO !!! this will come off, nothing left behind, throw it in the back seat and off you go!!
