I don't see any weight data for tonneau covers on the various manufacturer websites.

I don't have much payload to give up on my F150 XLT hybrid and still be under the GVWR pulling a travel trailer.

I am looking for a lightweight, low profile, retractable hardcover under $1500.

With people, dogs and tongue weight, I only have about 215# left over.

Not retractable but folding....I love mine so far, might be something to look at. Keep in mind the first section closest to bed does not flip up, wasn't an issue for me. This is light and so easy to remove.

My Bak Flip MX4 (hard tri-fold) is 71 lbs. I usually go with the Ford OEM hard trifold covers. They were on back order. I'll be honest for the price I wish I would have stayed with the Ford cover. I think my dealership was selling them for like $800 with the purchase of a new vehicle. I just spent $1,200 on the MX4 and I'll be honest I'm not that impressed. It weighs less than most and looks really good, but that's about it. It came with the corner seals already coming off and I had to glue them back together. It took over two weeks to get the missing parts. So my first experience with customer service was horrible. I work out of my truck so with all the rain here in Michigan I had to just make the best of it. My old Ford OEM cover was extremely dry. The MX4 not so much.

I never would want to give up the space for a retractable cover. Especially if you work out of your bed. The hard trifolds can always be taken off. Also the added weight is ridiculous.

Payload is definitely at a premium especially if you have a loaded out truck or a power boost.

I ordered a Bestwyll off Amazon. $644 after applying a $200 credit for opening an Amazon Visa.

If you’re looking for lightweight above all else, the Truxedo (and those like it) vinyl roll up covers are probably the lightest. They work great for weather protection but don’t offer much security.
