    taking a long trip and have a backflip f1. Need to bring my generator, how fast can I drive with the trifold up all the way? What about 2 x folder and clipped?

    Was also looking into carrier hitches with ramp but apparently those only are rated for 55mph and the road traveling on are 70mph so ideally I want something to go to 75mph

    From Bakflip's website FAQs:

    "Q: Can I drive with the Bakflip folded open?

    A: Yes. The ability to drive with the BAKFlip flipped up against the cab is apart of BAKFlip’s design. Locking prop rods will secure the cover open on each side allowing you to drive with the cover open at safe highway speeds."

    Not sure what it means but unless you're planning on going 110+ I'm pretty sure you should be okay.
