Yes, I have it on my 2018 and it is a good fit.
It closes on the left side, and unlatching it requires opening the tailgate, so if your tailgate locks, it's lockable.
No, because the Baja's front of the bed has a curved radius, our covers will not fit.
I don't think there's any reason why it shouldn't be done.

This was purchased for my 2017 Ford F150 5th Generation. Truck with a 5-foot bed. It appears to be a high-quality product, especially for the price, and installation takes about 30-45 minutes. All you need is a 1/2" socket and some Windex to complete this project in 45 minutes. If your truck does not have a bed liner, make sure to install the weather stripping between the bed caps first, as close to the edge where the bed begins as possible. Second, check that everything is perfectly aligned and that the tailgate closes normally before bolting anything down. Tighten bolts after everything looks good and straight, but don't jack up the alignment. Tighten the bolts on the back first, then the front, and finally the middle. I rolled mine out again before tightening all the way down to ensure that it was still locked, straight, and that the tailgate worked.
This is what I'm going to put on my 2017 Ford F150. On my 2015, I had a LoPro. This one is a tad lower and has a more appealing appearance. This one has a matte finish rather than the shinier finish on the LoPro, which I believe will help it last longer. After the initial car wash, make the following changes: Unlike the lowpro, this cover does not keep the bed dry. My whole body was soaked, and the cover fabric was dripping into the bed. If you want to keep water out, don't buy this cover. Instead, opt for the lowpro.
I had a lot of trouble deciding which type of cover to get (rollup, folding, retractable, and so on - The Truxedo Pro X15 was chosen from a variety of options (hard, soft, etc. ). I switched from an SUV to a pickup and wanted to make the most of the bed's utility, so any hard cover (even folding) was out (you have to put it somewhere when you remove it - This could be at a store like Home Depot, for example). I debated whether or not to buy a low-cost vinyl folding cover, figuring that if it was cut, I could simply replace it. In addition, I desired a simple appearance - Some appeared bulky or protruded from the bed. With the exception of the cutting, this cover accomplishes nearly everything I was concerned about, and it does so admirably. I've looked at other cheapos that have been installed and this one will undoubtedly offer better rain protection. It also has a very flush appearance and will not fade. We'll have to wait and see how the tensioning system performs, but it appears to be well-made and not too difficult to set up - I will say, however, that there are videos online of what appears to be a previous version of this cover. In general, I am extremely pleased.
This is a budget-friendly cover for those on a tight budget. The product's engineering is modular, with a few pieces fitting a wide range of trucks, and the slop in how the various pieces are used varies from truck to truck, which is compensated for by the heavy use of foam. Installing the additional foam strip at the head of the bed on a 2017 F150 short bed is required to compensate for the gap created by the truck's stock bed rail covers. The side pieces don't taper well to fit the bed, and the foam fit isn't great due to ridges in the bed rail covers (for example, as you get closer to the tailgate, you'll notice a small gap where the foam isn't lofty enough to fill the void). Foam must be installed in all four corners. With the tailgate closed, closing the cover is nearly impossible. The head piece to which the cover is attached slides from side to side, and you must ensure that it is centered before proceeding, or the side pieces will not fully engage. I understand, it's a budget, and you get exactly what you pay for. The plastic fitting pieces that connect the sides to the headpiece are flimsy, and only time will tell how well they hold up. The cover material is not very pliable, and it will be stiff if you live in a very cold climate. When compared to pretty much every other good cover out there, the wind flap while driving on the highway is quite good. Built-in cross members are convenient because they eliminate the need to store them separately. In addition, the cover rises much higher than you might expect. I have my doubts about long-term dependability, but only time will tell. I will use it until it breaks for the price I paid; if I had paid more than the sale price, I would have returned it; there are better options for slightly more than the $300 MSRP, and the investment would have been worthwhile. I've had six rollup tonneau style covers over my pickups, and this is the first one I'm not completely satisfied with, but I'll take a chance for now because it's on sale.
The Pro X15 cover itself is very nice, with a low profile that keeps the truck looking great. It's been about six weeks since I got it, and it still looks and works great. It is not completely waterproof, but it has survived major rainstorms with no water getting in at times and minor pooling at other times. It's very solid when stretched out, and I really like how it locks into place. br>br>When I received the cover, it was in a battered box. One of the header stops had been cracked during shipping, it turned out. I contacted customer service and sent them a photo of the problem; they called me back to confirm the part and sent me a replacement right away. As in, a response the following day. (Thank you for your help, Jamie!) )br>br>Installation was simple, and I followed the instructions in a few videos. I used a few tricks and was able to finish the installation in about 30 minutes. Using clamps to hold the rails in place during installation was extremely helpful. One piece of advice is to leave the rails partially fastened until the tailgate closes properly. The tailgate wouldn't close until I slid the rails all the way to the front of the bed. Also, read the instructions on the tension bolt, as this is what allows the cover to be adjusted to the perfect tight fit. On a scale of one to ten, I'm somewhere between a five and a six. If that helps, I'd give it a ten on handyman abilities.
