I know there has been mention from several here on will an existing bed cover fit the 2021. I myself have one of my 2018 I removed hoping it would fit the 2021.

I found this information and it gives me even greater hope it will.

When the 2021 Ford F-150 was revealed a few months ago, Ford was quick to note that the 14th generation pickup was wearing all-new body panels, a fact that Ford Authority was the first to report back in June. However, the automaker did decide to carry over the F-150’s cab and bed dimensions from the previous-gen pickup, which had us wondering if that decision was made to keep costs down.

I sure hope it will fit. I'm going to keep my motorized Retrax.

If Bed covers fit is it reasonably safe to assume toppers would fit as well? Or were The dimensions jus the same for the inside bed length and width?

id Like a topper on the new truck and hopefully the previous generation would fit and look decent. But if the width of the bed rail is wider or the tailgate width is longer they may not fit or look right.

I am in the same boat, looking at a topper, and a decked system but haven’t been able to confirm them. Would like to have it all sitting and ready when the truck arrives if at all possible. Hopefully the cap vendors will start getting some info soon.

When I looked at that truck bed in Atlanta, the inside looked identical to my 2018. I did not measure it but wish I had had a tape measure. I ask one of the Ford reps and he said he was pretty sure just the styling of the outside skin had changed. The dimensions were the same as the 13 Gen.

I was like, pretty sure???

So looks like we will just have to wait but this article took almost all my worries about that away (95%). Lol

Well if any trucks are actually hitting dealer lots, maybe the aftermarket folks will be able to confirm dimensions and start selling product. I’ve got a few weeks still based on build date, but I’d order the other stuff today if I could.

I would bet to say, that is because they haven't gotten one to scan yet, so they have no idea of the measurements.

Stands to reason. The 2021 F-150s barely even exist yet. All of the aftermarket truck companies definitely haven’t seen one. Within a few months, I’m sure there will be more custom and aftermarket stuff for the gen.14 F-150 than we can handle!

I did a little investigating, got the bed specs from here of all places and copied it just above the specs off a 2020. The only difference is the between the wheel wells, which won't effect a bed cover. As I recall the tires are slightly wider for 2021 so that explains that.

I think it is safe to assume the bed is the same, mostly, but won't effect old bed-covers.

Aah board-um...

I had Weather Tech in my 2014 GMC. No overly impressed as there were multiple problems with the passenger side. Biggest issue is that the seat would catch the floor liner when you moved the seat forward.

What brand of floor liners are you considering? I wish there was as easy way to do a poll.

Through a screw up on my order I'm getting a pair of Ford ones. I use only carpet, so I will be selling these when they arrive. Didn't want to take a chance on messing my order up so we just left them in.

If I had wanted some I probably would just go with the Ford ones. I figure they would have the best fit.

Looks like Retrax already has covers for the 2021. It's a different part number than the 2020. The 2020 part number is the same as my 2017.

Wow those things have gotten expensive. I had one on my Tundra years ago, they work great too.

I'm not even sure what a new back flip is these days. I remember paying $800 back in 2015 and it has been with me ever since. 3rd truck coming up. Lol

Of course everything has gotten more expensive...
