Features
- One-Hand Rotary Release: Drop the tailgate, twist the rotary knob on the driver side and lift: the rear panel opens with one hand. Extang says this release is unique among soft tri-fold covers.
- Latches Itself When Closed: Lower the cover onto the bed and the Auto Latching System catches both latches on its own, so there are no tailgate clamps to set every time you close it.
- Folds for 2/3 Bed Access: Fold the cover toward the cab and fasten both buckle straps for about two thirds of the bed. When a load needs every inch, the whole cover comes off in minutes.
- Hand-Tightened Clamps: T-handle clamps hold the cover to the bed rails at the cab. They tighten by hand with no drilling, and loosen the same way when you want the cover off.
- Pebble-Grain DualShield Vinyl: The top is Extang's 50-grade DualShield vinyl, made in two layers with a pebble-grain finish. It is built for long service.
- MegaBows and Dual-Pivot Hinges: Heavy-duty aluminum MegaBows and dual-pivot hinges support the vinyl so rain, hail and snow are less likely to make it sag, and Extang says they reduce wear over time.
Description & Fitment
The Extang Trifecta ALX is a soft tri-fold tonneau cover for the 6'9" bed of the 1999-2016 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty. It is for owners who want one-hand access, since a rotary knob releases both latches and they catch on their own when it closes. It folds in three sections toward the cab for about two thirds of the bed, and hand-tightened clamps hold it on with no drilling. Its two-layer, pebble-grain DualShield vinyl top sits over MegaBows and dual-pivot hinges, backed by Extang's limited lifetime warranty.

Check your bed: measure inside the bed floor from the bulkhead to the inside of the closed tailgate. Extang lists this bed as 6'9".
Not for: the 1999-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty 8' bed (90725). That is a separate Trifecta ALX part.
About Extang
Extang is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Extang publishes a truck-specific install sheet for each Trifecta ALX version and backs the cover with a limited lifetime warranty.
The Trifecta ALX is Extang's soft tri-fold with the ALX rotary latch, the same one-hand latch used on the hard Solid Fold ALX and the low-profile Endure ALX.
Warranty note. Extang's limited lifetime warranty applies to the original purchaser, with warranty registration on file or a detailed, dated receipt. Keep your order confirmation from us, and contact us for warranty claims and registration help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my 1999-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty?
Yes, if it has the 6'9" bed. Measure inside the bed floor from the bulkhead to the inside of the closed tailgate and compare it with the 6'9" label. If yours is different, look at the 1999-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty 8' bed (90725). Not sure? Send us your VIN and we'll confirm.
How do I measure my bed?
Measure inside the bed floor from the bulkhead to the inside of the closed tailgate. Extang lists this bed as 6'9". Truck makers often round their bed names, so compare the measurement, not the name.
How is the Trifecta ALX different from the Trifecta 2.0?
Both are soft tri-fold covers on an aluminum frame. The Trifecta 2.0 is held shut at the tailgate by spring-loaded EZ-Lock clamps that you release by hand. The ALX replaces those with a rotary knob you turn with one hand to open it, and latches that catch on their own when you close it.
Will it keep rain and snow out of the bed?
It is built to. Extang says the triple-fin seals are part of the frame rather than glued on, and the MegaBows keep the top from sagging under rain, hail and snow. Like any soft folding cover it is weather-resistant rather than watertight. Brush snow and ice off before you fold it; Extang's warranty requires that.
Can I drive with it folded open, or take it off?
Yes to both. Fold it toward the cab and fasten both buckle straps with the tethers attached, and you can drive with about two thirds of the bed open. For the whole bed, loosen the clamps by hand and lift the cover off. Never drive with it partly open.
How do I clean the vinyl?
Use Extang Tonno Tonic or mild soap and water. Skip vinyl conditioners that contain silicone or petroleum: they dry the vinyl out, and Extang's warranty excludes damage from them.
Installation
- T-20 and T-27 Torx wrenches and a 2.5mm hex key (included)
- Tape measure
- Pliers
- Knife
Here's the short version. Follow Extang's install sheet (below) for your truck's exact bracket hardware and torque settings.
- Set the cover on the bed. Lay the folded cover over the cab end of the bed, square, with its bulkhead seal on the bulkhead. Unfold it and slide it until the tailgate seal touches the tailgate with its first two fins, then fold it back up without moving it.
- Clear the flange and clamp the front. If a plastic bed-rail cap hangs below the metal bed flange (Extang names 2004-2014 and 2021 F-150s and 2009-2019 Rams, but check any truck), trim just enough plastic for the clamp to reach the metal; never cut into the bed. Then slide each cab clamp to the bed rail, hook its jaw under the metal flange and hand-tighten until it touches, then two more turns. Not on a liner lip or the plastic cap, and no wrench.
- Close the cover and mount the striker brackets. With the tailgate open and both cab clamps tight, close the cover. Fix a striker bracket (it comes assembled with its backing plate, weld nut and T-27 screws) to the metal bed rail on each side, lined up so its loop latches into the cover latch, and tighten the screws firmly with the T-27 wrench.
- Adjust the latches and rotary knob. Both latches and the knob leave the factory only partly tightened. Lower the rear of the cover, slide each latch until it catches its striker and lock it from underneath with the T-20 wrench. Leave 3/4"-1" of the driver-side cable through the barrel clamp, tighten the knob screws and the barrel-clamp set screws (2.5mm hex), then turn the knob to check both latches let go. Hand tools only, no power tools.
- Make the final adjustment. Back off the striker bracket bolts or screws, push the closed cover firmly down (or pull the rear bow down) onto the rail and tailgate so the brackets move down, match both sides and retighten.
- Fit the tethers and recheck. The tethers come looped over the cover bow. Slide each tether clamp onto the bed rail as far up as it goes and hand-tighten the knob, both sides. Lift the corners gently to check the cover is latched, and re-tighten the cab clamps and tethers after your first week of driving.
