I do not have a new cover since I've owned my Ram but I previously owned an F-150 and I had the Bakflip F1 on that truck. I installed it myself. It was quite simple to install and it did a good job of protecting anything in the bed of the truck, particularly from rain. I did notice however that if I drove on a dirt road on occasion, the bed area would have a pretty good layer of dust all over. the cover just couldn't keep the dust out. Also, over time the finish on the panels lost a bit of their luster but its structural integrity remained.
