Does anyone know the who manufacturers the Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover that is part of the Night Edition package on the 2021 RAM 1500? I am trying to get a picture of what it looks like fully "open". Waiting for my newly ordered 2021 and looking in to a bed bike rack.................thanks!

My dealer told me that bac flip manufactured the mopar cover But he also told me that the MX four is better than the Mopar one! I personally bought the mx4 for about the same price. The dealer said that the Mopar one seems to leak more than the bac flip.

I wasn't aware the night edition came with a Tonneau Cover?

Funny cause on my 2019 1500 I had brought it from ram. On my 2021 1500, I bought the mx4. So far mx4 is worse for leaks. Maybe my install job 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I think it's the standard ram tri-fold soft tonneau cover. That's what the photos on the website show and what my co-workers new 2021 limited night crew has for a cover. I was unaware of another option. Do you want to see a photo of my 2020 OEM tri fold cover open? Mine is a 5'7". I love it, the latches are very well made, it's also self centering if removed and it has a great profile above the bed. I know its 2-3 times more in cost than soft aftermarket ones, but I have to say, it's worth it. The vinyl stays very tight as well.

My only issue is it's wider than the 5'7" bed is long when removed. So, with the tailgate up, it does not fit in the bed unless it sits at an angle, or it hangs out when straight with the tailgate open and it does not fit across the cab to store in the back seat.

Would love to see a photo with it all the way open if you have one. Trying to see what kind of clearance I have in the bed on the cab side. thanks!

The first panel (closest to the cab) doesn't fold up. So 1/3 of the bed is covered. But it's easy to remove entirely if you have a place to store it.

Aw gotcha - exactly what I was trying to figure out!! Sounds like a bike will not stand up in the bed of the truck if I need all the room to the cab while leaving the cover on.

The latches on the OEM cover are nicer than the Mopar soft tri-fold version. They seem fine so far, but was disappointed when I got it. The OEM look/feel more robust than my Mopar

Just had my OEM replaced under warranty as the spring clips failed on one. They replaced it with the MOPAR one that has these type of handles in the back and a real crappy set of screw in hold downs up front. Not liking those screw down ones at all after the easy to use OEM clips, even if they were plastic. The new MOPAR version tonneau a super pain to remove/replace now. Why can we not get the OEM as replacement?!?!?
