Is there an hard fold tonneau cover that wont block the rear view mirror camera?

I have a '22 Limited (w/Ram Boxes & no multi gate) arriving the end of April and I am trying to order some accessories in advance -- first being a tonneau cover. I live in Alaska so the roll-up covers are no bueno, hard folding (low profile) seems to be the ticket. Any suggestions for a hard folder that wont block the 3rd tail light camera when folded upright? I'd also like to be able to shut the tailgate without having to lift the tonneau if possible. Thanks all!

I have a Bakflip MX4. It does not interfere with the camera when fully open and can be closed with the tailgate up or down.

I am waiting on my Limited as well (no Ram Boxes or MFT) and got a Leer HF650M hard cover.

I remember someone asking this same question before and I took pictures of it for them. MX4 doesn't cover the camera/light

As mentioned above the Leer HF650M won't cover the rearview camera. It's a quad fold so it sits lower when folded all the way up.

Looks like they don't have one to fit with Ram Boxes.

That's good to hear - thanks!

Sounds like the winner - thanks!

Any issues you have had with it?

I haven't had any issues with it. Only thing I'm doing now to add is a bed lighting kit.

Are you sure? I though I saw the option on their website for rambox .

Tried their site and filled out the configure fields and the last field has "w/o ram boxes" greyed out so it isn't changeable.

What about a rollup cover like the Truxedo Sentry CT or Gator HR1? The aesthetics of a soft cover, but the aluminum slatted underside will support 400 hundred pounds. When fully open they don't take space in the bed or block the rear window (or rear view mirror camera). It can even be released completely without tools if needed. Best of both worlds in my opinion. That's how I'm going when my truck arrives.

Roll-ups (including hard insert) don't do well in snow and ice conditions -- and as often as I open and close it's not an option for me. Thanks for the post though!

I have the solid fold 2.0 on my bighorn. I can't imagine it blocking a 3rd light camera.....granted I don't have the camera but it folds like the backflip from what I can tell. I'm 3 winters into my solid fold and I deal with plenty of ice and snow in the northeast. I can't imagine using a soft cover in the ice and snow.

Welp, looks like the Bakflip MX4 is not an option now - it only works with the silver rails not the current black rails.

Any other possibilities?

Seems like your only option might be to install the silver rails for an aftermarket tonneau. Here is a link to another thread discussing this.

Black cargo rails vs Silver cargo rails

I’m being told that I can’t use aftermarket tonneau covers because I have the black cargo rails, not the silver ones. Can the silver ones be ordered and swapped out? I don’t like how the soft tonneau cover that came with the truck sits so high off the bed. I want it to be flush across.

Another option you may want to look at is one that isn't mass produced and is sort of a local brand from a truck accessories company in my part of the country, Radco. They have a Bakflip style cover that you can remove when it's up against the rear window for full bed usage. It's very popular here in the midwest. It's made out of aluminum panels and has a diamond plate tread pattern and coated in a black Line-x type coating. Unfortunately you do have the silver rail thing going on too.

Did you install your cover ok. Saw somewhere where they don’t seal too good and should be longer to fit properly. Thanks.

Yes I got it installed. I had to tweak it a few times but it’s good now. I agree that to make an easier fit it could have been a little longer but I am happy with it.
