Features
- Installs in Minutes: The cover arrives assembled and clamps to the bed flange with no drilling, and on most trucks the clamps tighten by hand. If a plastic bed rail cap hangs below the metal flange (Gator names 2004-14 and 2021 F-150 and 2009-19 Ram as common cases), trim the cap so the clamps reach metal. The 2024+ Ranger and Tacoma use brackets and a Torx driver.
- Opens in One Smooth Motion: Spring-loaded clamps release and grab in a single smooth movement, so opening the cover and latching it shut takes seconds and it closes firmly every time.
- Upgraded Frame: A heavy-duty aluminum frame carries support bows that Gator says are now 70% larger, so the vinyl holds its shape instead of sagging under rain, hail or snow.
- Clamps Tuck Into the Bows: When the cover folds, the clamps sit recessed inside the bows instead of rubbing on the fabric, which protects the vinyl from punctures. Stow the rear clamps before folding the second panel, as Gator's sheet directs.
- Long-Lasting Vinyl: The top is a tough vinyl that resists tears and weather, and foam rubber seals on all four sides help keep rain, dirt and dust out of the bed. Gator says it tests the SFX from -40 to 180°F and from 0 to 95% humidity.
- Folds Forward for Access: Fold the panels toward the cab to open two-thirds of the bed, then fasten the buckle straps and both tethers to drive with it open. For the full bed, the cover lifts off by hand in minutes on most trucks; Gator notes a tool may be needed on trucks with a factory track system.
Description & Fitment
If your Ram has the full 8' box, this is the SFX to look at. It is listed for the 2009-2010 Dodge 1500, the 2011-2018 Ram 1500, the 2019-2023 Ram 1500 Classic, and Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks from 2011 to 2026 (plus 2010 Dodge 2500 and 3500). Long beds haul long things, so the panels fold forward to open two-thirds of the floor and strap down for the drive. Gator's sheet lists 2009-19 Ram among trucks where the plastic bed cap may need trimming.

Check your fit: a Ram or Dodge pickup with the 8' bed: 1500 2009-2018, 1500 Classic 2019-2023, 2500/3500 2010-2026. Check whether the plastic bed cap reaches below the metal flange; if it does, Gator's sheet calls for trimming the plastic.
Not for: the 6'4" bed (SF3202), the 5'7" bed (SF3201) or a 2024 Ram 1500 Classic (not on this part's list).
About Gator
Gator makes truck bed covers in soft roll-up, soft tri-fold, hard folding and retractable styles, along with bed mats and floor liners. The brand started from one plain idea: a pickup bed should get protection that keeps working, season after season.
Gator builds its covers around everyday toughness and weather resistance, and it designs them for a home install. Every cover comes with Gator's install guide.
Buying Gator from Prestige Truck. Gator sells its covers only through authorized retailers, and Prestige Truck is an authorized Gator dealer. Every Gator cover we sell is new, genuine Gator product. Gator's warranty covers the original buyer and may ask for proof of purchase, so keep your Prestige Truck order receipt with your records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit a 2015 Ram 3500 long bed?
Yes. The 2011-2026 Ram 3500 with the 8' bed is on the list.
My truck has the 6'4" bed. Which one do I need?
SF3202 is the 6'4" version for the same Ram range.
Is the SFX waterproof?
No soft cover is watertight. Foam rubber seals on all four sides keep most rain, dirt and dust out, but some moisture can get in during heavy weather, so keep anything that must stay dry in a sealed bin.
Can I drive with the cover folded?
Yes, with every panel folded up and secured at the cab by the buckle straps and both tethers. When closed, all four clamps must be engaged. Driving with it partly open voids Gator's warranty.
Can I take the cover off completely?
Yes. It lifts off by hand in minutes on most trucks, which opens the whole bed. Gator notes a tool may be needed on trucks with a factory track system.
How do I keep the vinyl in good shape?
Wash with mild car soap and water. If you use a vinyl conditioner, pick a water-based one; Gator warns that silicone or petroleum products can crack and shrink the vinyl. Stow the rear clamps before folding so they can't puncture the fabric.
Installation
- Hand-tightened clamps on most trucks
- 2024+ Ranger and Tacoma use a Torx driver per their sheet
Here's the short version. Follow Gator's install sheet (below) for your truck's exact steps.
- Place the assembled cover over the cab end of the bed.
- Unfold it fully, align it at the cab and tail, then refold without shifting it.
- If the plastic bed rail cap hangs below the metal flange, trim it so the clamps grip the sheet metal.
- Open the tailgate and close the cover. Slide each rear clamp out to the bed wall and hook it under the metal flange; tighten by hand only.
- Tethers: on a plain metal flange, clamp the tether to the flange; with factory cargo rails, remove the end cap, fit the slide block in the rail at the front bow and tighten the knob.
- Cargo-management trucks: fit the bracket kit (clamp plate, washers, screws) and torque to 65 in-lb (7.3 Nm).

Warranty
Gator backs the SFX with a 2-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.- The hard parts (rails, clamps and bows) and the vinyl fabric are each covered for 2 years from the original purchase date.
- If a cover, tarp or hardware part is defective, Gator repairs or replaces it at its choice, and may substitute a newer model of similar form and function.
- Coverage is for the first buyer and can't be transferred. Gator asks for a registration on file or proof of original purchase (a dated, itemized receipt), so keep your order receipt.
- To keep it valid: wash with mild car soap and water only; use only water-based vinyl conditioners, never ones with silicone or petroleum; drive only with all four clamps engaged, or with every panel folded and held at the cab by the buckle straps and both tethers; stow the rear clamps before folding; clear snow and ice before opening; check the cab clamps after the first week and now and then after that; and take the cover off before the truck is towed backward.
- Claims need a return authorization number before anything is sent back. Gator may ask for the part, postage prepaid, to inspect it, and shipping for a repair or replacement is at the owner's cost; Gator charges nothing else for a covered repair or replacement.
- Not covered: accident damage, neglect, unforeseeable use, improper installation or servicing, or anything not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. Your state may give you other rights as well.
- For a claim or help registering your warranty, contact us with your order number and photos of the problem, and we'll walk you through Gator's process.
